Good morning! I think everybody would agree that September golf in the Flathead is inspiring! The weather has been spectacular - and course conditions to match! Be sure to register today for the Dick Seddon Memorial Golf Scramble this weekend - this will truly be a great tournament filled with all kinds of prizes, opportunities to win, and just have a good time with your fellow golfers! We have many projects in progress, (paving this morning) so please be careful as you journey through the course. Give the crew the right-of-way and thumbs up for all the hard work they're doing to make the course better for us all to enjoy. Look at the sunny forecast, remember what January temps will be, and we'll see you this week having fun at the Hill!! Here's to your week's worth of birdies and pars! Steve Dunfee, General Manager From the Golf Course Black Gold - Paving on the main cart / road from the Clubhouse down to the bottom of the hill below #17 tee will be paved on Monday.
Aerifications - We will continue to aerify the tees, collars and approaches this week.
Pokey - The greens aerification is scheduled for next Monday and Tuesday which might be a good time to use up your tour cards?
Backfilling -The new asphalt edges will be backfilled as soon as we have generated enough plugs from aerifying the tees. Jon Heselwood, Golf Course Superintendent From the Golf ShopI hope everyone's golf has been as good as the weather and playing conditions here at BHGC, if so you are shooting some awesome scores!! This week is all about the upcoming Dick Seddon Memorial Scramble on Sunday, September 20th. If you have not yet entered your team, please do so by noon on Thursday, September 17th. It will be a day of fun golf in remembrance of a great guy!! To top it off, all proceeds will go towards capital improvements here at BHGC, just what Dick would have wanted!! Other dates to watch for in the near future: September 27th - Prostate Cancer Awareness Scramble on Champ 18 October 3rd - Flatfish High School Tournament on Champ 18 October 4th - Backwards Mixer on the Cameron 9 From the merchandise side of things we have been getting some great response to our annual demo club sale in the Pro Shop the past few days. Great buys on our 2009 demo clubs are to be had, so stop by before they are all gone!! Also our "end of summer" sale is continuing on all remaining in-stock merchandise, savings of at least 25% storewide!! Thanks to all who have been dedicated to keeping BHGC in great shape by participating and promoting the following: *Playing with the minimum number of motor carts needed in your group. *Repairing ball marks and divots. *Keeping your pace of play under 4 hrs and 20 minutes for 18 holes and under 2 hours 10 minutes for 9 holes. *Reporting on course violations of good golf etiquette and proper motor cart operation. It may not seem like much, but if we all follow the few basic guidelines, everyone's game will be more enjoyable!! Tip of the week: Check your posture to check your swing plane. Proper posture will promote an accurate, consistent on plane swing. Good golf posture is an "athletic position" much like a baseball or basketball player has when they are in balance with their arms hanging vertical to the ground. This will allow the body to make a repetitive motion and keep your swing on plane. If you are too far from the ball (too much bend at the hips and knees) your swing will be too flat and you will miss hit shots on the top and to the right. If you are too close to the ball (no bend at all in the hips or knees) your swing will be too upright and you will come over the top and hit deep divots with pulls and slices. So remember, good posture gives
your body a chance to make good swings. See you on the course,
Dave, Marlin & Mike, BHGC Pro Shop Staff From the Food & Beverage Department As we all know this Sunday, Sept. 20th, is the 1st annual "Dick Seddon Memorial Golf Scramble". The excitement and enthusiasm is already starting to build around the clubhouse so I've got a feeling you don't want to miss this one. For those of you that are playing in the first shotgun, there will be a breakfast buffet served from 7:30 AM until 9:00 AM. What a great way to start the day, we are asking that you gather your team and come up to Buffalo Hill and enjoy Jim's great breakfast buffet before you go out. This will also give you and your teammates plenty of time to put the finishing touches on your game plans and strategies. Also a buffet lunch will be served from 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM, so for those of you that are playing in the second shotgun you will be able to eat before you play and you early birds can eat after your round. ******Don't forget "HAPPY HOUR" 5:00PM -7:00 PM Monday, Wednesday and Saturday $1.00 Domestic Drafts, $2.00 Domestic Beer &Well Drinks & $5.00 Domestic Pitchers Reminders: HOT SPOT!! We have FREE INTERNET WI-FI....bring your laptop to the clubhouse and enjoy lunch or a refreshing drink while you take in the incredible beauty!! Red Line on #2 - Earlier this year, we painted a red line (lateral water hazard) on the left side of #2 champ fairway. This lateral hazard line ONLY applies to those players who are playing #2 champ. We will give this a try, and if there are not complications or unforeseen consequences, it will become permanent.
Your fellow players thank you for your good PACE of PLAY....and so do your golf professionals! No more than four hours and 20 minutes for any foursome or fivesome! First groups out in the morning and groups with less than four should play quicker! Accounts Receivable Statements Accounts past due 60 days or more are suspended until paid in full. THANK YOU! ***PLEASE fix BALL MARKS on all greens and either replace or FILL divots in fairways. (Requested by your fellow members). Remember, for good care of your golf course, please keep carts away from all tees and greens. Where available, please park ALL tires on the cart path so the edges of the grass don't become mud...thank you for your cooperation.
