West Berwick Golf Club plays North Berwick Golf Club in 1st ever Lincoln Honors Match....
During July of 2011, 16 members of West Berwick Golf Club went to England and Scotland. As part of that trip, the group was lucky enough to play a match against 8 members of the North Berwick Golf Club. Even though WBGC lost 3-1, the match was excellent. The dinner at North Berwick that night exceeded all expectations. We'd like to thank the Captain of the NBGC team, Alan Simpson, for a great experience. Alan is an International Member of WBGC.
