BMLGA-3 JILLS & A JACK SHAMBLE-JULY 27TH
This was a really fun tournament. Each team was composed of 3 BMLGA members and one guy. It was 1 BB of foursome. Jacks used the red tees and 50% handicap. Jills got 90% handicap. All players teed off, and everyone played the rest of the hole from the location of the best drive. We still have many more fun tournaments coming up, and our BMLGA Club Championship will be held on August 9th and 10th.

MORE ABOUT DEER AND PLANTS
This will be the 6th article in this series. You can access them all by scrolling waaaaay down to "Labels" and click on the Deer one. I asked Fred about how to keep Deer off our plants, and what to plant next year. His store mgr, Bernie Krepka replied with this information:
The recipe: There are a couple commercial options such as Deer Off and Deer Fence- Expect to pay anywhere from $15-$17 a bottle, but they both work pretty well. You can make your own concoction. Take egg yolks (whole eggs will work as well) and put in a blender with some water. Start blending and gradually add water so that you have a mixture that is thin enough to go through the tube of a spray bottle. As an option you can add a dash of cayenne. Spray the nixture on your plants. While the plant is wet, it may attract flies, but they will go away once the mixture dries. You will have to re-apply after a heavy rain. My wife uses aged eggs and that is not necessary but it does ratchet up the stink factor quite a bit.
Deer resistant (not proof) plants:
For containers or as ground cover: Creeping Jenny, Licorice Vine (annual), Bacopa (annual), Dead Nettle, Vinca Vine, Spurge.
Shade Plants (perennials): Ajuga, Japanese Anenome, Goats Beard, Astilbe, Japanese Painted Fern, Christmas Fern, Cinnamon Fern, Maidenhair Fern, Bugbane, Lenten Rose, Varigated Japanese Sedge, Bergenia, Brunnera, Lungwort (especially resistant),Columbine;
Sun plants (perennials): False Indigo, Speedwell, Blue Star Juniper, Golden Mop, Barberry, Butterfly Weed, Globe Thistle, Joe -Pye Weed, Yarrow, Oriental Poppy, Shasta Daisy, Monkshood, Catmint, (especially resistant) Black-eyed Susan,Yucca, Coreopsis (especially resistant), Blue Star Juniper, Dusty Miller (sometimes annual, sometimes perennial, Marguerite Daisey.
Thank you so much Bernie, and Fred's. We appreciate it!

There will be a Shotgun Start at 9:00 A.M. and the format is a modified scramble. Call the Pro Shop to sign up for this fun tournament.
