Preferred Lies & Cracks in Earth
Please note, due to the very dry conditions, preferred lies are back in use. We have also introduced a temporary Local Rule for relief from cracks in the ground. The Rule is as follows:
'In the general area, a ball that comes to rest in a crack in the earth may be lifted, cleaned and dropped, without penalty, within one club length of the nearest point of relief that avoids the situation, not nearer the hole. You must seek approval from your playing partners before taking any relief under this rule'.
Staff Appreciation Competition - Sunday 13th July
A new event for this year to show our appreciation for the hard work and dedication of our fantastic team here at the club. It's a fun way for members to enjoy a day of golf while giving something back to the staff who help to make the club what it is. The entry cost is £10 per person, and the format of the event is teams of 4 with the 2 best Stableford scores to count on odd numbered holes, and 3 best on the even numbered holes. Prizes will be awarded to the top four teams. All remaining funds will be split between the club's departments, for staff to enjoy an evening out or an activity of their choosing.
You can email teetimes@bognorgolfclub.co.uk to request your tee time in advance, or you can wait until the competition goes live at 6.15 pm on Thursday.
