By Mark Edgar, President
Welcome back to all our returning BCGC Members and to all our new members. I know you have many options with regards to joining other local golf clubs, but I feel you have made the right choice. Your BCGC Board is very eager to make this a very special year and is dedicated to delivering to you the best possible golfing experience. Last year Bartley Cavanaugh Golf Course celebrated it's 15th year as a Sacramento area Golf Course and our golf club has been around since the beginning. Take note, your club is one of the few clubs that is mixed with both men and women.
I would like to thank our returning Board Members: Jeri Fong, Don Sperling, Barbara Conerly, Pat Mar, Kim Volk and Kevin Schultz. And welcome our new Board Members Marie & Will Hart, Bob Thomas and Bob Benefiel. Without the hard work and continued dedication by these individuals, I am sure where we would be. Thanks for all you do for the club and the game of golf. Also, I would like to thank our departing 2010 Board Member's Shirley Johnson, Bob Volk and Jason Mangels.
As with 2010, the BCGC Board’s goals will continue with the 3 E’s during 2011:
* Expand - exceed 100 members
* Experience - fun / competitive tournaments / outings
* Enjoy - relationships & friendships
Our 2011 Tournaments will be centered on friendly competiton and fun new formats allowing the scores to be posted. Kim Volk and Bob Thomas have a few tricks up their sleeves and I am sure you will not be disappointed. The 10th Annual Freeport Cup has been briefly discussed, but nothing has been firmed up at this time. As you may recall, Grips Fast has won 4 times, BCGC has won 3 times and Bing & Land have each won twice.
Lastly, I have been in touch with Dylan Flynn, General Manager at Bartley, and we are scheduling a meeting in the next few weeks to discuss ways, in which we can partner, add value and better serve our membership. I strongly feel our club provides a steady revenue stream to both the City and Morton Golf. And that our club’s success is beneficial to both the City and Morton Golf.
Tee it UP High and Let it Fly,
Mark Edgar

MIDWEEK GROUP
By Bob Thomas, Midweek Tournament Chairperson
Happy Golfing New Year to all BCGC members. I am Bob Thomas, this season’s Tournament Chair. The schedule dates and tournament formats have been set for the year so we can all clear our calendars for the important stuff. The first tournament is February 16th and it will be a member/guest that will hopefully attract some new members. As an added incentive, members who bring a guest will earn extra points toward player of the year honors.
My goal is to plan a fun game each month that will still allow our scores to be posted. Check out our website and the Bartley Cavanaugh bulletin board for full description of the dates, games, times, fees, etc. We are also planning some kind of a competition with the BCGC Weekenders that will be points based and tabulated using results of one or more of each club’s regular monthly tournaments just to add a little spice to our game.
If you have questions or comments about any of the games or other midweek tournament matters, please contact me as follows:

WEEKEND GROUP NEWS
By Kim Volk, Weekend Tournament Chairperson
Happy 2011 to all my fellow golfers! I hope the holiday season was joyful and relaxing for all! We have a fun filled 2011 golf season planned this year. I hope to have some fun and challenging tournaments this year that will also allow us to have scores posted.
Our first tournament of the year is February 12th, which is a NCGA qualifier….Four-Ball Net Championship. Entry fee is $10 plus $25 if you want to play in the qualifier.
Other notable tournaments will be the Zone Qualifier, with the 2 winning teams getting to play in Monterey, always a highly competitive tournament. We will have our ongoing Match Play and also the Freeport Cup this year.
So make sure if you haven’t turned in your membership yet, be sure to do so…you don’t want to miss out!
We are also planning a little competition with the Midweek Group other than our regular tournaments! I am sure the bragging rights will be fun!!
Hope to see everyone out on the course! Don’t forget to check our website for up to date schedules and results! And don’t hesitate to contact me for any additional questions! I will be emailing everyone monthly to remind them of when the tournament is. You can send the entry fee to me 9836 Nature Trail Way Elk Grove 95757 or pay me the day of the tournament.
Hit ‘em straight!

JUST SO YOU KNOW
By Barbara Conerly, Handicap Chairperson
POSTING YOUR SCORE
* Post scores from home and away courses.
* Post scores in all forms of play; match play, stroke play, even team competitions in which you are requested to pick up.
* Post your score when you play at least 13 holes out of 18 holes or at least 7 out of 9 holes.
* On the holes you didn’t play, record par plus any handicap strokes you would have received.
* Post a score if you play two nines even if it’s the same nine or nines from different days. Simply combine the nines into an 18-hole score. Add each nine-hole Course Rating together and average the Slope Ratings.
* Post scores played in an area observing an active season even when your home club is in a inactive season.
DO NOT POST THESE SCORES
* Do not post BCGC tournament scores. The handicap chairperson will do the honors.
* Do not post your score if you played fewer than 7 holes.
* Do not post your score when you play in a competition limiting the types of clubs used, such as a one-club or irons-only tournament.
* Do not post your score when an 18-hole course is less than 3.000 yards, or when a majority of the holes aren’t played under the Rules of Golf, as in a “scramble”.
* Do not post scores made in area observing an inactive season.
Sincerely,Barbara Conerly
Handicap Chairperson
