Men’s 14 Hole Competitions – points deduction system

For the duration of the winter 14 hole competitions a points deduction system for prize winners will operate. These deductions are not permanent and your full handicap will be restored as you continue to play in the weekly events. The winner of a weekly competition will be deducted 2 points from his next 14 hole competition score and all other winners (eg second or third, fourth etc.) 1 point. As an incentive to prize winners, for each subsequent week that you play in the competitions and do not win a prize, penalties will reduced by 1 point until all penalties are rescinded. These are not official handicap deductions and only apply to the 14 hole winter competitions in Bearna Golf Club.

Starting on November 12th 2021 the following score adjustments are in force.

Bearna Golf Club – 25th Anniversary

In 2021 Bearna Golf Club will celebrate its 25^th Anniversary. The first Drive-in was held on the 31^st March 1996 with men’s Captain Richard Hughes and Lady Captain Liz Neville doing the honours.

The above photograph is of the members waiting to play in the scramble after the drive-in. Note, that even in those days the current wooden cabins had not arrived and that the current clubhouse was a building site.

During the year the Men’s and Ladies Committee’s will be organising various events to celebrate the occasion. It is planned to publish a brief history of the club, arrange special competitions and to commemorate the occasion in many other ways. Any inputs or suggestions from members would be gratefully accepted. If any members have any memorabilia that they believe might be interesting, please send details to John Collins at collinsjoh15@gmail.com.

So here’s to an exciting year in 2021.
