I would like to start out by saying "Thanks" to everyone who stopped by our first outdoor sale of the year last Saturday.  It was great, with many golfers enjoying our special 50% OFF pricing, not to mention a better weather day than forecasted!!  We will have another outdoor sale in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.  We also plan on having a Memorial Day Sale next weekend on all inventory throughout the shop.  It will run from Thursday, May 27^th thru Monday, May 31^st and feature 20% OFF storewide, so come check it out and save some $$$.

 Tournament news for the week is that we are almost ready to begin the First Annual 2 Person Match Play Shootout.  We need only (2) more teams and we will be set to start matches with (32) teams in four brackets.  The "win and advance, lose and you're out" format should make for some exciting match play action.  Team Captains will be notified of their first round opponents as soon as the draw is complete.

Also on the tournament front is the KOFI Charity Scramble, coming up Sunday, June 13^th.  Get your team entered to enjoy this annual, fun event.  Entry forms are throughout the clubhouse and online at www.golfbuffalohill.com  under the tournament link.

The 2010 BHGC Club Championships are June 26^th & 27^th, so mark your calendars now to participate in the first "stroke play" event of the year.  Test your skills against other BHGC members with a similar handicap.  Who knows this may be your year to become the "club champion" of your flight!  Entry forms available online now and very soon in the clubhouse!

Tip of the Week:

Putt better by first focusing on the pace of your putts and then the line.  Putting is about pace and line, but you can't control the line, or break of a putt, without the pace being correct.  Practice putting on a straight, level putt from 10' then 20' then 30', all with the intent of getting the ball in a 18" circle around the hole.  If you can judge the pace correctly it will make all putts both straight and uneven much easier.  Work on your pace by having light grip pressure and a smooth stroke.  Roll the ball, don't hit it, and your pace will be good!!

See you on the course,
