The membership has spoken, and they did not disappoint. I should have asked for suggestions years ago. WOW....

I had listed 22 Golf Courses that we have played or that were close to us. Since I did not say you had to pick from that list, you came up with new golf courses that I had never heard of.

I am surprised that Rey and Rock did not provide us with their choices, but what are you going to do? We still had 9 out of 11 golfers respond.

I am also concerned that Rey has still not called me. He must be confusing me with the guy that calls you about your "car's extended warranty". With only 48 days until the start of the season, I need to know if I should be looking for one or two more golfers.

Golf Courses chosen by the membership:

Joe T – Topstone (South Windsor, CT) & Franconia (Springfield, MA)

Adam – Keney Park (Windsor, CT) & Wintonbury Hills (Bloomfield, CT)

Bryan – Chicopee (Chicopee, MA) & CT Golf Courses

Joe – Airway (West Suffield, CT) & Veterans (Springfield, MA)

Alex – Keney Park (Windsor, CT) & Edgewood (Southwick, MA)

EJ – Agawam (Agawam, MA) & Goodwin Park (Hartford, CT)

Cody – Oak Ridge (Feeding Hills, MA) & Southampton (Southampton, MA)

Jason - Topstone (South Windsor, CT) & Ledges (South Hadley, MA)

Dustin – Oak Ridge (Feeding Hills) & The Ranch (Southwick, MA)

Rey – No response

Rock – No response

I, for one, am excited to play and compete at these new golf courses

Based on your Golf Course input, I put this DRAFT 2023 BJG schedule together.

This also gives us some emergency backup golf courses, such as Tekoa, St Annes, East Mountain, and Mill Valley.

I put The Ranch in as the BJG Championship location because, if you're going to spend $100 for a round of golf, it should be during the summer months and not the early spring or late fall.

Even with The Ranch included in the 2023 BJG Schedule, the average cost of a round of golf for the year is $52.33.

Even with a Hartford golf course on the schedule, the average mileage per golf course for the year is 16.4 miles, and an average travel time of 26.5 minutes from BJG HQs.

We can discuss where these golf courses fall within the schedule at the Winter Meeting.

Respectfully,

Broken Joe
