Our guest speaker this year was Eric Davidson, his first time at the BPL Dinner. Eric is an excellent after dinner speaker, and he did an great job of entertaining us, the feedback was very favourable, and we look forward to having him return in the future.
Catering and hospitablity were superb - many thanks to host Captain James Crawford, Catering Manager Lisa and all the staff who served us.
Season 2026 has been very succesful for the league and we look forward another great season next year.
League Winners
Congratulations to Bonnyton who are this year's league winners. With a total of 38 points over the season and only 1 lost match, they won their second BPL title a point clear of last year's winners Cathkin Braes.
It's been a great year for Bonnyton so far - with their Juniors already having won the Fleming Watson League and Millennium Cup, and now the Brand Putter league, it couldn't be much better. Both Juniors and Seniors now play in the Annual Boundary Bell match being held this year at Lenzie on Sunday 30th August against Glasgow GC also both Juniors and Seniors, and we wish them the best of luck.
Player of the Year
Congratulations to Jack Crawford of Williamwood who is this year's POTY. Jack played in all 9 matches for his club and had a wonderful 100% record, so very well done to Jack (pictured with BPL President Alex Martin)
Presidents Cup
Congratulations to Ritchie Elrick of Ferenze, winner of this season's Presidents Cup. Ritchie shot a scratch 70 at the competition held on Thursday 23rd July at Whitecraigs to win on countback from last year's winner Jack Crawford of Williamwood. Playing together, their scores could only be separated by countback on the last 3 holes. In third place was Gary Murphy of Whitecraigs.
