Tian’An Golf Course – Sunday 05th April – Stableford
A proper spring showdown at Tian’an Golf Club this past Sunday – and what a belter it was. The wind had plenty to say for itself, whipping across the fairways like a grumpy caddie, but the course looked absolutely glorious in the April sunshine. Stableford scoring was the order of the day, and our Beijing Golfers Club members rose to the challenge in fine style.
Division 1, saw Cindy Dong take top spot with a wonderfully measured performance. Stuart Nunn followed close behind in second, Mattias Fors claimed third, and Rob Derrett rounded out the top four with a steady showing.
Division 2, belonged to Shaly Dai, who played a blinder to finish first. Donna Tsang secured second, Mattias Bengtsson took third, and Rebecca Bengtsson completed the quartet with another solid round.
Lowest Gross honours went to the ever-reliable Markel Hubinette – crisp striking, no fuss, as always.
A cracking day all round, even if the wind tried to nick a few hats. Plenty of laughs and cold ones in the clubhouse afterwards.
Next up: Jingshan Lake Holiday Golf Club – same Beijing Golfers Club spirit, different scenic challenge. Watch this space for details!
Date: Sunday, 12th April
HANDICAP GROUPS
A reminder that this season we have three groups who play off different tees – all Ladies play from Red tees, Men with handicaps of 18.1 and above play from White tees, and Men with handicaps of 18.0 and below play from Blue tees – if you’re unsure which group you’re in then just check with Rainbow before you tee-off.
A reminder that the BGC membership runs on a rolling 12-months basis – i.e. if you bring along a friend and they join the club now then their membership will run until March 2027.. Also once the season starts there’s no guest fee for those experiencing a BGC Sunday for the first time, so please bring your friends along!
FINALLY PLEASE NOTE THE REMINDER OF SOME LOCAL BGC RULES BELOW – little things like ready golf, no “gimmies”, lining up your own ball on the green and preferred lies only on the fairway are important for pace of play and keeping it a level playing field for everyone! Any questions then just ask Rainbow.
Thanks and hopefully see you on Sunday!
LOCAL RULES
It’s been great to see so many new faces at BGC this year, so below is a summary reminder of the BGC “local rules” – if you’re playing with someone who’s new to BGC then please take the time to help them learn, everyone will benefit! For the full list click here BGC RULES
- BGC Handicap Divisions – this season A division is for handicaps up to 18.0, B division is 18.1-36.0
- BGC Tees – A division play from blue tees and B & C division play from white tees – all Ladies play from red tees
- OB and Lost Balls – as well as hitting a provisional, at BGC for a 2 SHOT PENALTY you have an extra option to drop a ball in the fairway at the point of entry of OB, or the approximate position of the lost ball
- Preferred lies – BGC always play preferred lies on the FAIRWAY ONLY – you can place the ball in a better lie within one scorecard length of where the ball originally lay
- Max score – in stableford events once you have played too many shots to score a point on a hole then you should pick up your ball and mark an “X” on the card
- Marking balls on the green – caddies can mark your ball on the green, however they cannot line up your ball for you! If they do this then simply re-mark and replace your ball on the green
- Gimmies – there are no “gimmies” in BGC weekly events, every putt must be holed (matchplay events are the exception). If the putt is “unmissable” then just knock it in!
- Ready golf – at BGC you don’t have to play “in order” – even if it’s not your turn (or your “honour”) but it’s safe to play your shot, then go ahead!
- Help your partners learn – there are lots of new and inexperienced golfers who play BGC every week – if you see someone accidentally breaking the rules then please let them know – if they’ve already played then then give them an opportunity to re-hit the shot under the correct rule
Hopefully the above makes sense, more detail can be found on the Rules page – if you have any questions of concerns about any of the above then just ask Rainbow or any member of the committee.
