Eight matches, exactly

Play eight, no more and no less. Complete all eight to rank ahead of anyone who does not.

Before the first tee

Finding a match

BGS will try to book four ball slots a couple of times per week and post availability on WhatsApp. Other BGS events may count when match play is permitted. The table is updated weekly.
