WINTER 2018 BRIDGER CREEK GOLF COURSE AND ROCKY MOUNTAIN GOLF ACADEMY Dear Fellow Golfers, Many people ask us each year, What do you do all winter? The simple answer is, we catch our breaths, and fill our days preparing and planning to ensure a successful upcoming season. Our winter to-do list is vast and includes an array of tasks including formulating league schedules, preparing the pro shop, and arranging all adult and junior lessons, tournaments and outings. Additionally, we take this opportunity to develop our advertisement channels which include printing, producing, and scheduling radio, television, newspaper and social media postings. We also spend the winter months selecting and finalizing our merchandise orders from multiple equipment and apparel vendors. While this is just the tip of the iceberg, it gives you an idea of what keeps us busy when the snow flies! We appreciate this quieter time of year as it allows us to prepare, plan, and get organized for the first day of the upcoming golf season. Dane has predicted this eagerly awaited day in 2018 will be March 30 th! Opening day has varied significantly over the last 24 years due to Bozeman s unpredictable weather. The earliest clubs have swung during this timeframe was February 12 th, and the latest opening day occurred on April 22 nd. On average, the course typically opens within a week of April 1 st. We re hopeful we ll be open before Dane s predicted date, but regardless, we hope you and your family will join us for the 2018 golf season at Bridger Creek.
