It is time to start thinking about pulling out those sweaters again. There is nothing better than playing 18 holes of golf and not sweating a drop! This is coming from a northerner though! Some of my favorite Bear Creek events are in November. For the men we have our very popular Ryder Cup event and also the traditional MGA Turkey Shoot! The ladies are hosting a Trick or Treat Twilight and also have the annual Pumpkin Patch Event. Please join us for these great events. Stop in the golf shop and get a start on your holiday shopping. Most of the new merchandise has arrived and is out on the floor. The ladies EP Pro looks great and the new Windstopper Sweaters for men are a must for those Men’s Invitational cool days. Remember that your golf shop credit will expire at the end of the year, so plan on Maintenance Update Happy fall! We have been blessed (finally!) with great weather. We have raised fairway heights and the greens are getting back to normal. And yes, rolling fast. So come out and enjoy good weather and course conditions. See you on the course!
