the hole in one...

the last hoop in one.

@ the Bernardsville Country Club...it was on september 27th 2004 that the 12th, and last, “hoop in one” was achieved on the BCC golf course at #4 Octopine (96yds). and it was in 1996 that the simple yellow hoops were adopted by the BCC, along with the “hoop in one club” which had it’s first member on march 29th 1998. when that same man made his second the club nicknamed him the “eagle”. oh! what a history these hoops have had, and made. even on the hoops introduction, who could forget “feola’s folly” at #7 Big Roundup (129yds) on the final round of the second annual Tick Open, the horror. the Bernardsville Country Club looks forward to starting a new history with the “holes”, but we will never forget the “hoops”, or the unique beauty of the grassy “hoop in one”.

WOW!!!

everyone is talking about the work being done at the Bernardsville Country Club, what’s going on? what’s the big secret? to find out more, join the BCCNews global podcast at noon on April 1st, 2010 when the BCC groundskeeper will talk about life, golf, the BCC and his latest book, “hoops into holes: the evolution of backyard golf”.

and another BCC season begins...

On short notice, once again, the Bernardsville Country Club held a Second Christmas & New Years Eve party on january 9th, 2010 for it's members. giving a chance for the BCC groundskeeper to catch up with old friends after his return from warmer parts of this world. the members enjoyed a delicious pot luck meal, headed by chef tony (chicken and mushrooms, sausage and peppers) along with the cooking of louie and stacy, team zhelesnik (butternut squash soup, broccoli rape, a great salad), with strong assists by lori r. (special potato skins), pete "the eagle" johnson (hoboken bread), kurt & may (box of cheese and treats), tequila jeff (pigs in blankets and desserts) feola (probably brought some port). new members dr. mark with his lovely wife and her equally lovely friend lisa also stopped in for the holiday festivities. the groundskeeper had entertainment available but none was needed as mike r. and members enjoyed christmas music by the roaring fire place, the BCC christmas train with double christmas trees, the BCC ping pong stadium and dancing in the Elvis Room, maybe even a daring sleigh ride into the dark to see the stars! the party was on! the fire was kept lit into the wee hours of the morning, while the hole wide world is fast asleep. christmas gifts were exchanged, new years wishes were made. some members said good night, but many stayed. rooms were reserved, there were couches by the fire, eventually the BCC members did retire (well jef d. drove home at 5am, vhat!). but it was only hours before the sun did rise and then, the smell of coffee (rise cheryl! rise willy!), of apple bacon pancakes (rise maxie! rise bruce!), another fire (where's jef?), and this party started again! more sledding! more, more, more and more all again...

another BCC season comes to an end...

the Bernardsville Country Club would like to wish all it's members and guests a very merry christmas and a happy new year. and look for some big surprises in the coming new year! long live the BCC!

BCC Halloween Blackout Bash

very very scary...b-ville- we always have come to expect the unexpected at Bernardsville Country Club, but after days of preparation on the “BCC Halloween Bash”, and with rain threatening to spoil our planned outdoor activities, on saturday, october 31 2009, 5pm eastern standard time, the power went out! BCC members and guests began arriving around sundown. arriving at the “BCC Clubhouse”, high in the hills of bernardsville, a clubhouse lit only by a roaring fireplace and candles. guests having to be told it wasn’t just a scary look we were going for. we had music though, with power coming from a car, thanks to capt. sperry. and the party continued, another example of the resiliency of the club and it’s member’s. party on!at about 9:15pm, with all the costumed revealers in attendance and the event, in the dark and in full swing, people drinking, eating the pot luck foods brought by all, a flash photo was taken and suddenly, the power snapped back on. “yea!”, said the party. “oh my.”, said a slightly tipsy BCC groundskeeper, realizing he now had a lot to do. yes! the P.T.PuppetShow! yes, ladies and gentlemen, all the regulars, “PT & Dino”, the “Magic Shoe”, “PT on the high wire”, “Project Genesis”, “rocky, the smoking raccoon”, “Simpsinatra”, plus a new act from germany, the “Dirty Dowels”, singing that old favorite,”Rawhide”. you just had to be there.next was the “BCC Scavenger Hunt”. although the ground was wet, the rain had stopped. teams were formed, maps and a list of tasks to be performed were handed out. and off they went, out into the dark, again. the “hunt” lead them to the “BCC Alter”, the “Bounty”, the BCC dart room, the “Elvis Room” disco, a creepy hole in the ground and finally to the “BCC Haunted Barn”. the winner was once again the team lead by dr. mark, the only straight person in the competition.the party finally moved up to the “BCC Clubhouse”, there they heard a set of music by the “Frozen Monkey Band”, while they partied the night away. what a great time. and it didn’t end. some members slept over, another fire was started, football was watched, food was eaten, golf was played, more fun was had. one of the best halloween bashes ever. the Bernardsville Country Club thanks it’s members and guests for making it the great party it was.
