Thank you to everyone who came out for our Opening Day Shotgun and Cocktail Party! Almost 100 members braved the chilly Spring weather for a great day of golf. We were honored to have Bruce Blanchard hit our ceremonial first tee shot for the grand opening of Blackhawk Country Club. Congratulations to our winners Tim Boyle, Matt Gray, Russ Colon, and Sharon Deluca!

Golf Course Updates
From Our Grounds Crew: It has been a busy spring thus far and the weather has been on our side for grass growth. The groundwork we laid last season is beginning to surface – everything is greening up and filling in as expected thus far. Cleanup of winter debris and tree clearing has been ongoing.
Along with our continued cleanup of the course, we have a lot of great projects happening. As you may have noticed, we are regrading the cart paths on the back 9. We ask that you have some patience when playing around the crews working on that project.
Also, our Driving Range is now OPEN. We will continue to renovate and improve this area throughout the season. We look forward to maintaining the course overall – to not only look its best, but also play at its best!
As always, please remember to fill your divots, rake your bunker, and fix your ball marks!
