While I’m mentioning all these golf discounts, I might as well mention the best deal in town. Bridgeview Golf Course offers several membership levels. I purchased the one year, Monday through Friday, walking membership for $299.00. This means that I can play any Monday through Friday throughout the year. Bridgeview charges $13 to walk nine so the membership pays for itself with 23 rounds of nine holes.

I learned today that Gene at Bridgeview Golf Course turned 80 today. Gene is currently not working at the pro shop and we sure miss him. Maybe we’ll see him this spring sometime.
Yesterday was an anniversary of sorts for me as well. On April 6, 2002, I hit my one and only double eagle at Minerva Lake Golf Course, Hole #7. It sure was ugly but they don’t draw pictures on the scorecard.

Bridgeview fall views
Here’s some fall views from Bridgeview Golf Course that I’m just now getting around to posting. Enjoy!
The weather was too inviting to work today (at least it was in the morning – things turned windier and chillier in the afternoon) so I made my way out to Bridgeview Golf Course for the first time this year. They’ve changed things around quite a bit at Bridgeview. Now everyone goes to the range including golf course patrons. From the range, you walk under the bridge and start on what used to be hole no. 6. You end on what used to be hole no. 5. So you get a bridge view at the beginning and at the end.
Bridgeview has new signs for all the holes on each of the tees. They’ve also torn down what used to be the old, old clubhouse. There were rumors of that happening floating around last year. It appears that they have mowed the greens so putting isn’t a complete fiasco. There were plenty of branches on the first par 5 (what used to be no. 2). The wind was so strong today that I drove it over the green on what used to be the first hole – now no. 5.
I guess Bridgeview management figures that most people take a cart so the quarter mile ride/walk to the first tee isn’t bad with a cart. Wonder how they will handle people in carts passing walkers on the ride out to the first tee? Starting with a par 3 and having two par 3’s in the first four holes definitely won’t help the pace of play. I also wonder if they will have a starter on the first tee? We’ll see how the changes at Bridgeview shape up throughout the season.
