Sustainable Golf

The TBGC have now committed to follow a sustainable golf strategy, in line with England Golf Environment, Social and Economic principles.  This strategy will take a number of years to fully implement and England Golf will be supporting us throughout this process.  A recently set-up committee will now drive this through. They will be sharing the strategy, progress and plans, with the membership in January 2025.

Julie Bennett was the best nett runner-up.
  • A week later, the weather certainly delivered for the ladies Charity Day - Janis Barber and her team of helpers organised a fantastic event with an 18-hole team competition, an individual 9-hole competition, guess the weight of the bowl of golf balls, and an awe-some raffle. All monies raised, likely to be well in excess of £1200, are going to Janis’ chosen charity Parkinson’s UK.
  • The course was at its finest for Wilton Developments corporate golf day held recently at TBGC. A “Beat the Pro” competition raised £500 and this as well as a further £1000 from Wilton’s charitable trust was donated to Lady Captain Kate Cooper’s charity Epilepsy Action. An-other of our tee sponsors, Rex Procter, also held their corporate golf day which resulted in a further donation of £470 to Epilepsy Action.
