Please use caution with the golf carts and try to keep the golf carts to paths and higher ground, and watch the slopes as it is easy to get them sliding with little control. Also, the wet conditions have softened the greens which, in turn, show ball marks. Please remember to look for and repair your ball marks. Thank You for your cooperation! Steve Marnic TEAM MATCH COMPETITION The BCC Women s Golf Team competed in the State Team Matches at Stonewall Resort on June 25. The team placed sixth. Parkersburg Country Club won the competition. Our ladies received their regional trophy at the awards ceremony after the competition. Participating in the final match were Caroline Ramsey, Deb Cherubino, Robin Ward and Haeley Harman. Congratulations to our team. SENIOR AMATEUR COMPETITION Caroline Ramsey claimed her 13 th WV Senior Amateur title in a rain shortened tournament at Moundsville Country Club on June 16-17. Caroline led after the first round by 1 and that was all she needed as the tournament was shortened to 18 holes. Congratulations to Caroline for making us proud once more! Others attending from BCC were Mary Ann Renzelli and Cindy Davis. *Any questions call me 304-669-0953 or look me up at the club. ~Steve 4
