Gentlemen of the BTC
January 2, 2025

 

 

Happy New Year to All!! I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and New Year.

 

This is my first newsletter so bear with me. It is an honor to be the secretary to this great club and I will do my best to make this newsletter an interesting read. But I must warn you, I am not a good writer or very knowledgeable on non-sports related topics so this should be interesting.

 

As I am writing this, there is no new news to share due to Club functions being on a break over the holidays, but if there is anything you want to share with the club, you can call or text me at 773-680-9777.

 

If my math is correct, there are only 18 weeks left until golf begins so no more 10 pins or 7 pins. I am 26 of 36 ten pins this year. I like to keep track and tell Tony Alexander because I know he cares...haha!! Speaking of bowling, congrats to my buddy Will for winning the corner pin pot of 690 big ones and he didn't even buy his good friend (me) a beer.

 

Well, that's it for now except for this golf quote from Gary Foster, "I am going to smoke this whole cigarette before we make it to your tees Jenner!"

 

Your Secretary,

Dave Jenner

Golf Survey Results:

 

It would have been an awful lot of typing to explain the results so we thought it would be easier to explain it in a video.  I promise this video is shorter than the last one.  Thank you to all who responded.  We were very happy with the number of people (80+) that took the time to answer the questions and provide comments.  Thank you also to Jim Day for all of his help in getting this survey out to everyone.  If the link doesn’t take you to the video, copy and paste it into your browser.
