Wellness Center Opening

The Beech Mountain Club held a Grand Opening for its new Wellness Center on Friday, June 15th. Through the work of the BMC Board, and under the leadership of Pres. Jim Franklin and GM Brian Barnes, a plan was created for a wonderful center for exercise. This is a big deal for our members, family and guests. During the opening ceremonies, everyone was applauding the work done. Not only does it have a lot of the newest exercise equipment, but there is a magnificent view through the windows of green trees and grassy areas. There is a massage room, an exercise ball room, lockers in the mens and ladies room, a stretching platform and showers, to name just some of the amenities. Nancy now has a nice, private office. If you have not seen this latest addition to the Club facilities, take a few minutes to view the improvements...and it is also close to the pool!

BMLGA TOURNAMENT - June 19

Our Tournament was a Step Aside Scramble.  Each team teed off.  One member's drive was selected, and that person could not hit the next shot.  This was continued for all the holes, and made for a very fair tournament, since the top player's shot could not be used all the time.
