4/29  FBMGA Members:

I am happy to announce that we have two golf Tournaments scheduled for May. I encourage everyone to sign up. The FBMGA will be adding $200 to each Tournament to make the prize package more attractive.

SATURDAY, MAY 15 - TWO MAN BEST BALL TOURNAMENT - 9:00 AM SHOTGUN START

Pick your partner wisely. This will be a flighted, handicapped gross and net tournament. If there is more than a eight stroke handicap differential it will be adjusted to an eight stroke differential. The entry fee will be $40 per player and and the sign up sheet will be at the handicap computer in the FBGC pro shop tomorrow Thursday, April 29. The deadline for entry will be Wednesday, May 12 at 3:00 PM. Please let me know if you have any questions.

MONDAY, MAY 31 - THE ANNUAL PAR THREE CONTEST - 9:00 AM SHOTGUN START

This is a very fun three hour tournament with NO PUTTING! Each of the 18 holes is a par three and there will be one winner for each hole. Then we will split into two groups for a SHOOT OUT on the 9th hole- those that made a CLOSEST TO THE PIN in the 18 holes and those that didn't make a CLOSEST TO THE PIN. There will be four winners in each group of the SHOOTOUT. You can not make a closest in the first 18 holes, but win the SHOOT OUT in your group and you will be a big winner. Please let me know if you have any questions. The sign up sheet for this tournament will be at the handicap computer in the FBGC Pro Shop tomorrow Thursday, April 29. the entry fee is $40 per person.

Please when you put your cash/check in the FBMGA Lock Box for these tournaments, make sure you clearly mark what is in the envelope i.e.

" YOUR NAME  - entry fee for Par Three Tournament $40" - YOUR NAME - entry fee for Two Man Best Ball Tournament . Saves me from much confusion and I already have enough confusion in my mind!!!

ALSO: I am soliciting ideas for a FBGC Beautification Committee. If you have any interest in helping start such a committee that would raise funds to beautify the FBGC, contact me. I think with a concerted effort, we could raise substantial funds to help beautify the golf course with the following:

Re-painting the 18 granite monuments on the West & South Courses

Touching up with paint  the nine tee signs on the North Course

New Benches

New/Better railings

Improved bath rooms

Remove debris

Clear area of large grass

New paint for ball washers, trash cans and other

OTHER THINGS?????

This is totally in the exploratory stage and I am willing to listen to any one who has an opinion about pursuing this project.

Thanks for reading.
