MAY 26 BMLGA PLAYDAY

Although the day started out cloudy and a little damp, many members showed up to enjoy seeing each other again and playing golf on our beautiful course. The game was a Scramble and the competing teams of ABCD players worked together for the lowest possible score. A delicious luncheon was served afterward and Pesident Becky Welsh and her committees reported on their plans for this year.

I have included pictures of the mountain views from our clubhouse and the scoreboards from the Putting Contest last week and the Scramble this week.

All BMC members who have a yearly beginning Handicap Index of 37.1 and below are invited to join our group.

Good Timers Bridge

There were three tables or players at Good Timers Bridge on Wednesday. And a good time was had by all.

Rhododendrons Eaten by Starving Deer

Have your Rhododendrons been eaten?

Because some folks chose to feed the deer last summer, the deer did not have to forage for themselves. Then when winter arrived the deer were desperate. That caused the very hungry deer to eat Rhododendrons this winter.

These pictures are from just one house, Kim & Kathy Barley’s home. Their rhododendrons had never even been nibbled before. Were your plants eaten this winter?

We have been told by people who have spoken to the local Wildlife Officers that human feeding of deer in the summertime is a disaster to the herd. These are wild animals not nice pets. Feeding bears is also dangerous. Some have broken into homes to find food. 

The lesson: DO NOT FEED WILD ANIMALS IN THE SUMMER! IT IS A TERRIBLE THING TO DO TO THE ANIMALS AND IS SELFISH! 

BMLGA PLAYDAY

Yes, it was in the high 30's, but a few brave souls played anyway and had a fun time. It was cart path only and the fairway was a little soft, so we were all happy that the game was "Individual Low Putts".

I have included pictures of the 10th Fairway. You can see the trees are still coming out, but Rory has the course looking great. The beautiful Rhododendron Blossom is from the bushes around the green.

The three pictures of players are the hardy ones who showed up to play. John was there to introduce the game and send us out into the cold world.

If you would like to join our group, you must be a BMC Member with a yearly beginning handicap Index of 37.1. Contact our President, Becky Welsh at 387-2376 for more details.
