Golfers:
Most of the details are in place for our upcoming golf trip to Crosswinds Golf Course right off I-95 in Savannah, GA this coming Sunday, June 13 -15.
If you have someone that you would like to invite to compete feel free, if they have a verifiable handicap.
I have confirmed and reserved 10 rooms until June 5 at the Microtel Inn Pooler Hotel. The room rate will be $69 plus tax and you will need to contact the hotel directly to book your room. The number to call is 912-748-1112.
I am waiting final info from Crosswinds, but the Director of Sales has confirmed that the cost for 18 holes on Monday, a boxed lunch, nine holes and then 18 holes on Tuesday followed by a catered lunch with three options on Tuesday will be $115. Not sure if this covers tax and gratuity. She will get back to me June 1, but we are in the ball park.
Sunday is a practice round with some type of wagering among those participating. We will tee off around 12:00 Noon and follow up with some dinner at one of the local restaurants and then play cards at our host lodging spot - The Microtel Inn Pooler Hotel.
The two day Tournament is Monday and Tuesday. A Low Net Tournament with four closest to the pins each day. We play GREEN BALL on the Par Threes - if you are closest you win a dollar from each participant and if you make the birdie you get two dollars from each participant. We will probably tee off around 9:30 AM on Monday and 8:30 Am on Tuesday.
We also have a two man scramble on Monday afternoon - this is handicapped 35% A player and 15% B player.
The two day Tournament wager is $50 and the par three wager is $20.
I will be back to you with full details. Please keep in touch with me as to your participation. I am not a mind reader and I need to know how many we have participating. THANKS!!!
Feel free to stay at any other establishment.
Please contact me with any questions. This is always a fun trip. Monday night dinner in the private room at Sam Snead's restaurant and CREDIT CARD ROULETTE is always exciting. I am happy to report that Frank Finocchio will be joining us for this trip to ride around the golf course, enjoy the meals and card games.

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.
