SIGN UP for the Spring Festival this weekend!  The weather forecast looks good and the courses are in great shape.  This 2-day 2-person team event is a popular beginning to our tournament season.  Saturday’s round at Eastern Hills will consist of 9 holes best ball and 9 holes scramble.  Teams are broken into flights based on the first round and then compete at Milham Park on Sunday by playing 9 holes Pinehurst and 9 holes alternate shot.  Entry fee is $15 for members and $45 for non-members (includes greens fees).  Call the pro shop at Milham Park to sign up.  344-7639

THE ACTIVE HANDICAP posting season began March 29.  The first revision date will be April 15.  Keep your handicap up-to-date by posting every round you play this year.  Handicap service is free to members and $15 per year for non-members.  If you haven’t signed up for handicap service yet, stop by the pro shop at Milham and we will activate you into the system.

UPCOMING DEMO DAYS:  Milham Park will host a Ping fitting day this Thursday from 3:00 to 6:30.  You must sign up to attend this event.  Thursday, April 24 will be a COBRA demo day at Milham Park from 3:00 to 7:00.  Callaway will host a demo day on Thursday, May 1 at Milham Park from 3-7.

THE NEW ELECTRONIC TEE SHEET and Point of Sale system is up and running at Milham Park and Eastern Hills.  If you’ve played this season, you’ve probably seen us on the new touchscreens asking for your address, phone number and email and/or pictures for members.  Bear with us as we fine-tune the new system.  Once we have everyone entered into the database, making tee times, tracking rounds played and getting to know our customers will be an extremely efficient process.
