BHGC Community Golf Day – Results

Published on 8th August 2023 in members and guests

Thank you to everyone who played in the 2023 Community Golf Day.

The Club’s commitment to being a good community citizen shines through its efforts to support the local primary school through hosting a dedicated golf day and donating the main raffle prize.

This year 123 players took to the field and enjoyed a casual round with friends before coming in to the Clubhouse for a community and family gathering.

The generosity of golf day participants and raffle ticket buyers raises funds that provide additional resources for the primary school, benefiting the students directly. The day also fosters a strong bond between the golf club, school and local families. Green fees and proceeds from the raffle will total circa $10,000, a fantastic result.

Whether you played on the main course or enjoyed a family game on the Par-3 course later in the day, we hope you enjoyed the golf.
