With the 2025 golfing season over, and indeed very successfully for ABGC, our bank accounts, which currently contain a total of £12,283, will see little movement before year-end.
This figure is about £1500 less than at the beginning of the year and reflects continuation of our recent approach of subsidising some internal matches.and meeting costs to contain charges at acceptable levels.
This approach has been maintained throughout 2025 but members will be very aware of the significantly increased charges being levied by many golf clubs. While we intend to maintain some subsidisation next year our standard match fee will be £60, with higher charges on a few occasions for the more expensive courses.
We do hope that members, while recognising that costs over time will inevitably rise, will continue to make every effort to play as often as they are able.
