Greetings everyone,
 
Well, the weather has certainly started to change, as have the trees.  Yep, it is starting to get to be that time of year... the time of year when the course is absolutely perfect, the greens are rolling true and fast, the fairways are in perfect shape, and the ground is playing firm and fast... just what the doctor ordered for the fall.
 
Here are a few things going on at the club...
 
Pro Shop News
 
~ Staff: As many of you have noticed the pro shop staff is quickly shrinking due to college and high school starting back up.  I want to thank them all for the hard work they did for us this season!
 
~ Starting September 7th the pro shop hours will chane to 6:30am - 6:00pm on weekends and 7:30am - 6:00pm on weekdays.

~ Lessons:  Availability for lessons are getting tight. If you are looking for a lesson make sure you book head of time so that we are able to work around your schedule and the shop schedule. 
 

 ~ Clubhouse photos:  As you may have noticed, there has been a few new additions to the clubhouse-- new photos were found and they look great!!
 
~ Range:  If you take a bag or two of range balls down to the range please bring back the empty bags.  It helps out a lot!
 
Course News
 
~ Please repair all ball marks and fix all divots... the course looks great and we all need to work hard to keep it that way!
 
~ If you are looking to start off #10 please check in with the pro shop.
 
~ No play off #10 before 8:00 AM.
 
~ Pace of Play:  The pace of play at BHCC is 2 hours on the front 2 hours on the back.  4 Hours.  No more than that.  If you feel the need to play in less than 4 hours by all means go ahead... however 4 hours is the pace we ask you to play in, we will never ask you to play in less than 4 hours.
 
~ The course has come in great and once again the grounds crew has done a wonderful job... thanks for the hard work!!!  It looks great!!!
 
I hope you keep enjoying the club and the course. 
 
See you all soon.
