Since we are no longer in an election cycle, it is now possible to say without fear of contradiction that Bowen Island is harmonious - completely devoid of rivalries, feuds, or differences of any significance at all. This is clearly not our natural state, so the Bowen Island Golf Club is offering a solution: the Community Challenge golf tournament, which takes place on May 16 at 3 p.m.
The island will be divided into ten communities, and a year’s worth of golf bragging rights will be awarded to only one of them. Last year, Sealeigh Park won this great honour. As anyone who doesn’t live in Sealeigh Park well knows, this must have been a fluke. So recruit three of your neighbours and make sure this travesty doesn’t happen again. And if you can’t find three neighbours with the necessary competitive spirit, contact the friendly folks at the Pro Shop to see if there is a foursome from your neighbourhood that is only a threesome without you.
As with everything at the Bowen Island Golf Club, you do not have to be a member. The format for this event is a mixed scramble; all foursomes must have either a token male or an essential female. And only one of you needs to know how to play golf. It’s “best ball” - everyone shoots from the best shot made by any of the other players. So your shot only matters if it’s good. If not, you’re having a lovely walk to burn calories for a delicious dinner at The Cup Cutter restaurant.
If you don’t want to play golf, you can still come for the dinner and the very entertaining prize ceremony afterwards.
