COMPETITION PURSE

Emails have been sent to all members with information on the introduction of our Competition Purse on BRS. The purse is being introduced, on a phased basis, when booking tee times for the following competition dates in October:
Friday October 3rd to Sunday October 5th (Tee times go live this evening at 18.40pm)
Friday October 10th to Sunday October 12th
Friday October 17th to Sunday October 19th
Friday October 24th to Sunday October 26th
The Competition Purse will be used to pay competition fees when booking a tee time on the BRS. It is part of the BRS system that we use for booking tee times. Once you book your tee time, a “pending charge” of the competition fee will be levied against the Purse balance. It is important to top up your Competition Purse in advance, to pay for competition entry fees.
This is available on the BRS app. Select Competition Purse from the dropdown menu.  
It is easy to add an amount to the purse by following the guideline and it takes less than a minute to do so.
