There is nothing quite like playing golf in the middle of summer. You get to take in the gorgeous views of our beautiful Blackhawk course and enjoy the beautiful weather while playing one of the greatest sports. The first weeks of July got a little challenging as the temperatures soared into triple digits. On one of those particular hot days, the Niner’s hosted their annual member/guest invitational held on July 11th. The theme of the event was the Kentucky Derby and the ladies came out in spectacular Kentucky Derby fashion with matching outfits and most famously, beautiful hats made with everything from satin and feathers, fascinators and even horse themed bucket hats! A special thank you to Director of Golf Brian Brake, Niner’s Golf Pro Andrew Brown, Head Golf Pro Thomas Fong and Golf Pro Will Park for their amazing support. A BIG thank you to the amazing team of ladies who created this wonderful event, Channing Azzolino, Linda McColgan, Helen Tarantino, Annette Costello, Leslie Sprague, Lil Giovanzana and Leigh Bultman. Kudos to Bill Bump and Mike McColgan for running the putting contest. Thank you also to our wonderful golf attendants who rode around the course to check on everyone and hand out cold washcloths! Another memorable event!
