Berkeley Hills is one of the best golf courses in metro Atlanta. Our clubhouse, pool, and tennis facilities are special assets that we need to maintain and maximize. 3. While the economics are not favorable for private clubs at this time, I believe I can participate to help the Board manage the direction of the Club and support the membership. 4. It is important for the new Board to remain focused on the club capital improvement plan and monitor expenses. 5. I believe we are on the right track and I hope to contribute to the success of BHCC. I am asking for your support and vote during the upcoming election.

Berkeley BulletinClub Closing

Date’s to rememberThe Club House will be closed on Tuesday, January 5th - Thursday, January 7th for annual cleaning and renovations. This means that the only food and beverage service available will be out of the Bunker from 11:00-6:00pm with a limited menu. The Men’s & Ladies Locker Rooms and the Fitness Center may have periodic interruptions due to cleaning of the floors, showers and painting.

Club Business Cont.

The way this fall has gone the weather may delay the annual spraying we do each year in January. This is the time of the year that we begin to spray Round-Up on the entire course for Poa annua. As long as you have a warm season grass that has gone dormant, you can spray for it also. The way we spray it will be different than you do at your house just because we use a large machine. If you want to get rid of the winter weeds, add a ½ ounce of Round-Up per gallon of water in your backpack sprayer or hand-held sprayer. When you spray it, act like you are painting a wall and make one swath across the weed. This will keep the chemical from running down the plant and damaging your grass. If you drench it, you will probably see a dead spot come this spring. Once you finish this process, find you a pre-emergent to apply so the weeds will not come back. If you have any questions, please contact me and I can demonstrate it for you and also let you know if it is the right time to do it.
