Gentlemen of the BMGA,

Our Spring meeting is just around the corner. The spring meeting is a great time to catch up with some people you haven't seen all winter, have a free beer or two, hear about changes made for the upcoming season, and most importantly register for the 2010 season.

The meeting this year is scheduled for March 10th at the Brookview Community Center. Registration and social time begin at 6 and a short overview of the upcoming season from myself, Ben Disch (Brookview's Golf Operation's Manager), Howie Hoffman (2010WNL Coordinator), and the captain of the 2 time defending 16 (now 24) man team, Nick Schultz will start around 6:30.

At the conclusion of us speaking, we will have a drawing for all paid members for 2010. The drawing will feature a few rounds at Brookview, some lessons from our great teaching pros, and the annual Wednesday Night league fee for one member.

Also new this year, we are having a Brookview Winter Classic. Matt Just, one of our teaching pros, runs and teaches lessons at the Lifetime Fitness facility in SLP. A few of us went over and tried out his simulators and we had a blast. He has invited us to host our first winter event at Lifetime. They have 6 simulators, and a ton of courses to choose from. Each simulator works best with 4 golfers, so this event will be limited to the first 24 to sign up. To encourage attendance at the spring meeting, that is where registration for the classic will be. Brian Sutton, brian.m.sutton@gmail.com will be your contact if you cannot attend the spring meeting and want to be put on the waiting list. If we get 24 to sign up at the meeting, the waiting list be used if there are last minute cancellations. Matt has given us a very generous discount and the cost will be $20 for 18 holes. The event will be on March 13th and start at 8 am and will probably take around 4 hours.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing you all on the 10th!

Philip Iskierka
