July 2015 Clubhouse 797-2339

Pro Shop 797-5828Forecast

I believe everyone by now has received their invitation to join Clubster. There are many Country Clubs in the country that uses this social media to communicate with their membership. The format is very similar to Facebook the difference is that the postings are only within the membership. The Board feels we can keep those people who participate bet-ter informed about what is happening at your club. The App is free and only takes a few minutes to download on your phone or computer. There is an example of what the site looks like in this forecast. We will still continue to use the Fore-cast. E-Mail blast and the Website along with this application to promote activities at the Club. If you have any questions concerning how to get involved with Clubster just call the office and Susan will be more than glad to help you out.

I know that people are frustrated with the rough and the difficulty it creates in playing the course. This is always an is-sue this time of year with the Poa season and wet conditions. Unfortunately the wet Spring and now early wet Summer Rocco and his team have had a difficult time keeping up with the rate of growth. If we can ever get the rain to slow down I feel that the rough will become less of an issue. I wish we could control the weather but unfortunately we cannot.

The tournament season gets into full swing the next two months with men’s and women’s Championships, Pro Member, and Member Guests all within the next six weeks. Applications have been mailed for the Men’s Member Guest with the deadline approaching quickly and the signups are coming in for the Pro Member. If you want to play in either or both of these events call the Pro Shop. Hopefully the weather will break soon and we will have a great summer.

LETTER from the PRESIDENT

REPORT from the GENERAL MANAGER

Dear Fellow Members:

Club operations were significantly impacted by June’s extremely wet weather. Not only was it challenging to mow and maintain the course without causing damage, but daily play and all the associated revenues were adversely affected. That notwithstanding the overall course continues to improve weekly and plans are in place to reduce the height of the rough to facilitate member play. We ask you again to observe proper course etiquette in regards to observing our post system along the cart paths in order to keep carts away from all greens, bunkers, tees, ground under repair sites, as well as any wet areas.

At our meeting on June 25th the Board cautiously reviewed our 2015 Capital expenditures to date of $167,000, includ-ing the following major items: $66,000 to replace our mandatory 1st floor sprinkler system, $25,000 for HVAC units, $39,000 for course equipment, $17,000 for a roof and security gate replacement at the Course Maintenance Building; in addition to a host of lesser items. All of these fell under the “necessary” category, virtually eliminating any discretion-ary expenditure. With the absence of initiation fees which normally would be reserved to underwrite capital expendi-tures, we have to depend on our depreciation account to fund these expenditures, while reserving a portion of that amount for cash flow operating needs. This is also all contingent on the club operating at breakeven or a small surplus as budgeted. Because membership revenue has decreased in recent months, it will be very challenging to meet our budget in 2015, especially with all the inclement weather we have experienced.

We however are looking forward to a very active next four months of summer/ fall and continue to ask for your strong support of all facets of our club.

Enjoy your summer at BCC!

Steve Scoville
