• SPENT A SUMMER AS A BANFF SPRINGS HOTEL EMPLOYEE?
• SPEAKS THAI?
• WAS A RADIO ANNOUNCER?

Sandi - President

Cathy Morin - Secretary/Treasurer

Bridget Smith - Social (Food and Beverage)

Games - by Committee (Sandi, Leanne, Dianne, Anne)

If you want an adjusted score chart for Red/Green or Green tees, extras are in the locker room.

We're finally open on Thursday May 7 - enjoy your season!!

 Work on our new tees is progressing nicely. Here are some pictures from Friday:

#11 - All one big tee, and wider.

Some tree clearing by our staff this week. Where is this? Scroll down for the answer.

The larger red (only) tee on #18.

The newly built white tee on #18, in front of the blue tee.

The larger and slightly more right combined red and white tee on #17. Less chance of clipping the tree on the left with her tee shot for one unnamed golfer!

The tree clearing photo is on #16, left of the cart path near the green. No more lost balls in there!!

SEE YOU ALL ON SUNDAY, MAY 3 - SIGN UP IF YOU HAVEN'T.
