Super Bowl Scramble
12:30 Shotgun Start
Entry $25
The forecast for the weekend is not very promising so we will make a
decision on the Super Bowl Scramble on Saturday. If there is much
more rain and the carts are restricted to the cart paths we will probably
cancel.

Irrigation Work
Weather permitting, in early February, the work will begin on the
irrigation system upgrade. So as to have a minimal impact on play,
a maximum of only one hole will be closed at any time. Various
work-around methods will be in affect for the different holes.
Details will be available at the pro shop. The work duration is
estimated to be five to six weeks.

Grounds News:
Materials should be arriving soon for the irrigation system
installation scheduled to begin Feb 6th. Bill has already been locating
valves and piping runs needed to start the project (digging on various
holes). We should only have to close one hole at a time (as per the
contractor) once they begin. The irrigation system should be completed
in about 6 weeks (as per contractor). While we may experience some
inconveniences during this time, the end result will be a major asset to
the course. Spring is right around the corner and lots of positive
things are happening at FBCC.

WSIGA News:
There may be some FBCC Senior Men out there who don't know how this group
works. If you are 50 years of age or older and a member of the MGA, you
are eligible to play. Selections are made based on the first 8 to sign
up. It costs $50, you get green fees, range balls, carts, coffee before
tee time, 2 drink tickets, a nice lunch (no sandwiches, dessert, and
beer), and you get to compete for team and closest to the pin on all four
par 3s for prizes.
We play a
Stableford format with full handicaps and
the best 5 out of our 8 player's scores will be used for figuring our
competition results. There is a continuous, cumulative correction factor
used to even out the disparity in handicaps/course difficulty. We play at
7 different venues.
For more info, go to the
Westside Senior Interclub
Golf Association (WSIGA) website or ask any of the guys who have participated in
it. The bottom line is we need you and it is a lot of fun, so come on
out!
