Good morning, Wow! What a fabulous weekend we had here in the beautiful Flathead Valley! Hope you all enjoyed a great weekend on the links. Just a quick reminder that the annual meeting is this Wednesday, April 21, at 6:00p.m., here at the clubhouse. The Driving Range is the main topic for discussion, so please plan to attend and participate in shaping the future. Your Board of Directors are reporting back to you from last year's annual meeting to "find a fix for the driving range". They now have options for the membership to consider and will be looking for your input and direction. Thank you for taking an interest in this very important matter. In an effort to keep the meeting to a manageable time frame, the Board encourages all members to come up to take a look at the driving range options on display in the clubhouse. Also, copies of the audited financial statements are also available now. Please pick up a copy in the main office, and feel free to see me prior to the annual meeting about any questions or additional detail you'd like to see. We're here to serve you! Have a great week - we look forward to seeing you Wednesday at 6.:00p.m. Steve Dunfee, General Manager From the Golf Course Informational Swap Meet: See you at the Annual Meeting on Wednesday evening at 6:00pm! Still Digging: We are still repairing the irrigation system, but most of the work is now in the river bottom and on the bench top holes. Too Cold: It is too cold to begin seeding the fairways, but we will begin as soon as it warms up to 50 degrees soil temperature which is tough to obtain when the irrigation water is about 40 degrees. Restrooms Open: We will be opening the restrooms on the course this week. We will wait a little longer to turn on the drinking fountains due to freezing risks. Washers: We will be filling the balls washers this week. And On and On: We will continue to aerify the fairways and tees. Jon Heselwood - Golf Course Superintendent From the Golf ShopSpring has arrived here at BHGC!! It is great to have some warmer temperatures to play golf in.

We will save you $$$, so check us out before you decide to buy. Remember we have demo clubs of many of the new styles of equipment for you to try before you buy!! Plus if we don't have it in stock we will be happy to special order any item. Tip of the week: If you are having some trouble being consistent with your shots, check your setup before you start to adjust your swing. A proper setup gives you a much better chance to hit a good shot, "your swing can only be as good as your setup"!! Just because you mishit a shot doesn't necessarily mean a bad swing. Look for a well balanced, athletic posture, a decent grip, centered ball position off of the turf (slightly more towards your front foot off of the tee with a driver) and lastly good alignment at your target. If you have these things in place a good swing and consistent shot will happen more often! See you on the course,Dave, Marlin & Mike BHGC Professional Staff From the Food & Beverage DepartmentThis week's drum roll goes to John Hansen. John is this week's winner of the free lunch, compliments of Buffalo Hill. John was up for lunch and dropped his business card along with his E Mail address in the jar and now he is the winner of a free lunch. WAY TO GO JOHN! That's all you have to do to be a winner, or just leave your business card on the table and your waitress will deposit it for you. A great big hearty"Thank You "goes out you to all of you Men's League players that supported the BBQ last week. There was a good turnout, but we always room for more.
