Congratulations to the Women's Anderson Team squad who have secured the title of Division Three champions. Billingham were leading the league by one point heading into their last away match against their closest rivals Brancepeth. This took place on 31st July when BGC won 4-3, a very tight match indeed! Fantastic result for BGC and well played girls in achieving this success. Roll on 2025 Division 2!. Laura Hall, Anderson Team Captain.
Welcome to the Womens Section of Billingham Golf Club. We have a lively and very sociable group of lady golfers of all ages, who put the emphasis on having fun and enjoying the exercise golf provides, rather than the more competitive side of things!
We have the R&A Women in Golf Charter which calls on members of the club to play their part in developing a culture that values women's involvement in every aspect of the sport, from participating to pursuing a career. Helen is our 'Charter Champion' and works closely with fellow club members to ensure we achieve the main aims of the Charter, which are listed here:-
* to increase the number of women and girls playing and working in golf
* to pursue a fundamental change in culture, providing economic benefits of growing the sport through more women and girls playing
* to making tangible efforts to develop a welcoming and inspiring environment for women by doing more to attract women into golf.
We currently have beginner ladies attending weekly lessons with the Pro and will soon be starting free weekly golf clinics, teaching the ladies all about course etiquette, rules of golf and getting them out onto the course. If you are interested in joining this group, please speak to the Club Secretary, Julie Lapping, who will put you in touch with the ladies section.
