Baychester Golf Club

Message from the President

March 26, 2009

Welcome to the 2009 Baychester Golf Club season! I hope that you find the information in our official package helpful for your enjoyment. Baychester Golf Club was founded 52 years ago and I am excited to announce that we celebrated our 50th anniversary last year which included a golf outing.

Thanks to all new members and second year members for returning to the Baychester Golf Club. As you look closely at Baychester Golf Club you will come to realize what the current members already know, that Baychester Golf Club is a great club to be associated with in terms of golfing, relaxing and socializing.

To begin our season, Opening Day is schedule for May 3, 2009 and will occur at Spiltrock Golf Course, our home course located in Bronx, NY. While this year promises to be an exciting one, there are a few changes that should be noted:

  • Club colors are required on Opening Day, Trophy rounds and Championship rounds of golf.
  • Golf courses are strictly enforcing their policy of having patrons pay for no-show tee times. We will strictly enforce Rule 2.0 and Rule 4.0
  • The Tournament Director has a stressful job preparing our weekly schedule and it is a requirement that members be at the golf course 1 hour before tee time.  It makes his job easier.
  • Golf courses are strictly enforcing slow play. Therefore, we will strictly enforce Rule 6.0. Therefore, golfers please be prepared and know what three golf clubs you may need to hit your 2nd and 3rd shots. Also, when you are behind please play ready golf.

Let’s have some fun this year and enjoy the game!
