Hole in One for Brian - 16th August 2008

ACE for Brian

 Playing with his usual group in the Saturday Swindle, Brian Richardson 
scored his first ever Hole-in-One at Bungay and Waveney Valley Golf Club. 
With a stiff cross-wind affecting the 156 yard 12th hole he had to judge  his 
6 iron perfectly and was rewarded when with one bounce the ball went in  the
hole.

He then decided it was a sufficient emergency to use the exemption
from the rules and use his mobile to call the clubhouse and open a tab so
that everyone on the course could celebrate with a drink!

Holes in One - 25th July 2008

***********STOP PRESS***********

PLAY AGAINST ROOKERY IF YOU WANT A HOLE IN ONE! 

Bungay Members must have some sort of magic touch when playing at 
neighbours  Rookery Park. In a recent seniors match Bungay and Waveney Valley Golf 
Club member Robyn Hipperson managed his second Hole-in-One inside 14 months. 
Using a well struck 7 wood his ball bounced on the green of the 159 yard  par 
three 14th hole and disappeared regally down the hole! The usual clubhouse 
invitation to a drink was the suitable celebration for his achievement. 

***********
 The second report to reach the office was a Hole-in-One by Bungay Junior 
Member Sam Page when playing in an Am-Am at Rookery. He has achieved his 
first Hole-in-one aged 16 with a perfectly judged 9 iron at the 138 yard 
9th hole. Sam said "the ball was going straight for the pin, bounced a couple
of  times and ran straight into the hole". Father sorted out the usual
celebrations at the 19th.

CAPTAINS CHARITY DAY 2007 - 21st September 2007
Captain’s Charity Day  2007
******************************
Mike Copsey, Captain of Bungay and Waveney Valley Golf Club was quite rightly pleased with an almost record turnout for his Charity Day on Friday 21 September. 168 players from 27 different golf clubs pitted their skills in a four-ball team Stableford for one of the fine prizes on offer. The day was organised to benefit The Ashley Jolly Sudden Adult Death Syndrome Trust. Mike has a good reason for his support – his daughter lost her apparently fit and healthy partner aged 37 to this traumatic syndrome. Mike was determined to make it a fitting day and hopes that by the end of the year he will be able to contribute over £4,500 for the charities work. The day was sponsored by Wilson Golf, Mervyn Ducker and Robinson Audi and Mike thanked them for their support.

Prestigious Award - - 2nd June 2007

 

PRESTIGIOUS AWARD FOR CLUB

Bungay and Waveney Valley Golf Club has received recognition in a prestigious course rankings initiative.

The HSBC Regional Course Rankings run alongside the Golf Monthly Top 120 rankings and are designed to identify the excellent courses in the UK and Ireland that may not feature in the Top 120 but still deserve recognition.

To set the regional rankings apart, evaluations are carried out by grass roots golfers working from an official handbook designed by industry experts and only golfers who met the strict criteria can qualify to become panellists. The initiative is gathering momentum and to date over 400 regional panellists have been recruited and more than 1000 clubs have been recognised.

Receiving the official HSBC Regional Course Rankings certificate for the Silver award, John Lunniss, the Club Secretary said he was proud that Bungay had achieved this commendation and thanked the Committee and Greens Staff for their hard work in maintaining the course to such a high standard.
