The Bermuda Golf Association has sent a squad of six players to compete in the prestigious Caribbean Golf Association Four-Ball Championships.

The tournament, which takes place from October 16 to 21 at the Plantation Golf Course in Tobago, marks the first time Bermuda has participated in the competition and follows the successful debut in the CGA Junior Championships this summer.

Representing Bermuda in the Mid-Amateur Division (35+) are Eric West and Jonathan James. Mark Ray and Roger Brangman are taking part in the Senior Division (50+), with Geoffrey Piggott and Christopher Phillips competing in the Super Senior Division (60+). Darrin Lewis is travelling as team manager.

BGA president Craig Brown has shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming event and is wishing the team well.

“We received confirmation of the team entry requirements for this event quite late, but despite the short timeline and logistical challenges we are excited to enter a team in various divisions,” Brown said.

“Thanks to the hard work by Darrin Lewis and industry partners, we were able to select a team that reflects the broad demographic of our membership and demonstrates golf is a lifelong sport.

“Unfortunately, despite our efforts, this year we were unable to field a women's team, and there is no doubt next year we will fulfil the women's entry.

“The BGA recently joined the CGA as part of our strategic vision to provide our membership and Bermudian golfers opportunities to compete at a high level against our Caribbean counterparts. Our entry is made possible by funding and support from the Government of Bermuda, Sports Matters Policy and the Sport Investment Program.”
