Dear CFBEGA members,

I hope everyone has enjoyed the bulk of this year’s golfing season. The lower Vancouver Island good weather allowed us to start golf early, participation and number of rounds played by our members is at a record level. That said, as we are fortunate to live in an area where golf courses are open year round, I encourage our members to continue using membership privileges and keep playing more golf.

**Important Notice for Mountain Course Players**

* Golf carts are restricted to cart paths only beginning August 22nd. 

* Effective immediately restricted landing zones have been implemented on most fairways. These areas are clearly marked and we ask that golf balls landing in this area be removed and hit from outside the ropes.

NOTICE TO MEMBERS: As of 2 August 2016 the driving range at Bear Mountain is going to be closed for an extended period of time. Thank-you to Bear Mountain Professional Justin Ford for sharing this information with the CFB Membership.
