Feb. 4, 2012 - Weekend - Member / Guest or Member / Member

Bob Benefiel, Weekend Tournament TC

I'd like to wish a Happy New Golfing Year to everyone!

The first Weekend Tournament will be held on Saturday, February 4 and will be Member/Guest or Member/Member. The format will be 6-holes Net Best Ball, 6-Holes Scramble, 6-Holes Scotch. For players without an established handicap, a modified Callaway system will be used. The first starting time is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. If you invite a guest, please urge them to join our club!

For this tournament, if possible, please send your entries ($10 per person - checks payable to BCGC) to me by Friday, January 27th. Doing so will help facilitate arranging our starting times and pairings in advance, and save me a lot of confusion on tournament day (as I am easily confused!) When sending your entry, please include the GHIN of your guest. Email entries are acceptable as well, just remember to send me your entry fee(s) in advance of the tournament.

The remaining tournaments on our schedule this year will be of a format where you play your own ball for the entire round, therefore making it a postable score for NCGA handicap purposes. Tournament formats will vary, however. I plan to add a new wrinkle to these subsequent tournaments. In addition to our regular tournament formats, we will have a side Skins game. Participation in the Skins game will be optional. It should be a lot of fun!

As I assume the Tournament Chair duties, I'd like to thank Kim Volk for all of her past patience and hard work, and especially for the time that she carved out of her family life for us. As we all know, family comes first. Kim, and her husband Bob, are very loving and dedicated parents.

Thank you! And let's make this a terrific golfing year!

Art In Public Places

Bartley Cavanaugh Golf Course has two pieces of art intregated into the Golf Course and Club House as part of the City's "Art in Public Places" program.

The following is taken from the Grand Opening Program dated July 20-23, 1995:

The artist team Jeffrey Reed from Oakland and Kathleen Kasper-Noonan of Carmichael created two sculptural works of art for the golf course. Reed's project consists of five poured in place concrete benches sited in various locations throughout the course. Reed is an artist with a degree in architecture and has a general contractor's license.

The slate and stone mural by Kasper-Noonan was installed in the lobby of the clubhouse. Noonan is a successful local artist whose works can be seen at the Downtown Plaza, Natomas Station, and the 39th Street Light Rail Station.

The slate and stone mural is really nine individual pieces of art, with each representing parts of nature. Refer to the picture below to see what each piece represents.

Or the next time your at the club take time to give it a second look.
