Eligibility to participate in weekly games and major championships
Subscription to Pacific Northwest Golfer Magazine
Free membership in the Pacific Northwest Golf Association. You’ll be joining more than 500 clubs and 175,000 golfers in the region in support of the game of golf. You’ll also be able to participate (where eligible) to play in any of the 13 regional championships conducted by the PNGA.
Each Sunday at 8 am, 9 am in March and late October to the end of the season, from the first weekend in March through November, the BRGC Men's Club conducts its weekly game. Entry fee for the weekly game is $6 ($3 into the prize fund, $1 for closest-to-the-pin contests and $1 into the BRGC Scholarship Fund) including the optional $1 entry into the Hole-in-One Fund. Game formats alternate between individual and team competitions, but always allow the player to post a score for handicap purposes. One-third of the field and ties, plus closest-to-the-pin winners - one per par-3 hole - win prize money in the form of BRGC Gift Cards.
Hole-in-One Fund money is paid out to a member who makes an ace during a club event, less $50 for a trophy. If no one makes an ace during the season, the fund is rolled over into the Scholarship Fund.
