A Striking Success

The return of the BPMA Golf Day proved a popular day out for members

As the sun rose over Burnham Beeches Golf Club on Wednesday 14 October, some of the industry’s
finest golfers prepped themselves for a day of spectacular putts, birdies and drives across the rolling greens in Buckinghamshire.

Organised by BPMA Board director Clive Allcott of DTB Europe and the BPMA team, the long awaited golf day had been postponed several times due to COVID. With teams itching to get out on the green,
the eight all-male teams were fortified with bacon sarnies and set off clutching scorecards and BPMA branded leather scorecard holders supplied by Juniper Products for the event. The competitive spirit was evident as teams vied to win the range of amazing titles and trophies on offer, kindly sponsored by Crystal Galleries and Laser Crystal.

Throughout the day, the teams were fed and watered to make sure they could stay the challenging course at Burnham. With incredible drives and performances from some surprising quarters, the event
concluded with a dinner and award presentation from Clive Allcott, BPMA Chair Angela Wagstaff and BPMA CEO Carey Trevill.

The BPMA will be hosting another Golf Day in June 2022 and hope to see more members joining the event. Playing on the day, the BPMA’s Tom Robey said: “It was a great event, and we are already planning next year’s. We really hope to see a wider variety of members playing as we know there are some excellent golfers out there and those who just play for the fun and relaxation of this inclusive sport.”
