Good Afternoon parents,
Below you will see the allotted times for the girls tee times at Bentwater Country Club in Acworth, Georgia on Monday. The girls must report to the tee boxes ten minutes before their tee time; they can use the range an hour before their tee time. They will be able to use the chipping area/putting green any time before their tee time on Monday. If your daughter needs a ride, please let me know so we can arrange rides for your daughter.

Lastly, we have a Signing Day for Paige Greco on April 25th in the Commons Area at Brookwood High School at 2:30 PM. If you can attend this event, I know it would mean a lot to Paige to see her teammates, coaches, and parents here to celebrate this moment with her.
Boy Schedule Update 3/17
Hello parents,
Tomorrow, I will need 2 parents to shuttle players between the 18th green and the first tee. We can rotate so you will be able to watch your golfer as well. It will be sunny, but chilly! It's a 2:30pm shotgun, so there is no need to get there before 1:45pm. This tournament is a team scramble, which is a great format for everyone to be able to contribute. Have a great Sunday!
Update: The CC of Gwinnett is going to be auctioned on April 15th now. We did have a schedule change and will not be playing in the Oconee Invitational. I contacted the coach in October to sign up. We have participated in the event for 2 years at Hard Labor Creek. I sent a check and he called me and said we weren't on the list. Also, We were on the waitlist for The Lambert Varsity Invitational. We didn't get in.
I was able to add The Parkview Invitational on Saturday, March 23 at Stone Mountain Golf Club. We will also be going to play with everyone on the team and go out for a meal before the season is over.
Thanks for your support!

We will only be leaving school early a few times this season. I will contact their teachers and remind them they need to make up any missed assignments. They already know where to be on Monday.
I will provide lunch. The course will provide dinner after the tournament. Could I have a volunteer to provide snacks for 8 people? Logan's mom did the first tournament. Thank you! You can come and watch your player play on Monday.

Ladies Update & Tee Times:
Below you will see your tee times for Monday, if you need a ride to TPC on Monday let myself or Coach Witmer know. If not you need to be at the course an hour before your tee time as you only get 45 minutes of range prep. We will wear white tops from last year and black bottoms. (you'll get your new hats Monday) expect other gear later next week. Wear layers, as the weather ranges from 30-60 degrees on Monday. Make sure you have the Iwanamaker app downloaded on your phone, as we will be using this to track score. We can review Monday morning to get back acquainted.

Boys Update- January 28, 2024
Hello parents,
I wanted to touch base with you about the upcoming Brookwood Boys Golf season. Your son has indicated that they are interested in playing golf and I have worked with them at least once during the pre-season or they are returning players. Our tryout is Friday, February 2nd at 3pm at the CC of Gwinnett. At this point, I will not have to cut any players and your son will be on the team. I am attaching our current match/tournament schedule for the season, which may be adjusted, The GHSA Parent/Player Code of Conduct, and the alternate transportation form.
Our parent meeting will be on Tuesday, February 6th at 6:30pm in The Lodge by the football field. I will be sending you more information before our meeting concerning the Boys Program. Our website will be updated regularly and players will be communicating with coaches regarding match/tournament lineups for each week.
The cost is $700, which includes all golf course fees for practices, matches and tournaments, 2 dozen golf balls of their choice (Bridgestone/Titleist), 2 golf shirts and a pullover or golf jacket, use of the golf bag for the season, golf accessories (Golf towel/Brookwood ball markers, tees), several meals throughout the season and when we have to travel and for all 18 hole tournaments, and an end of the year banquet.
To give you an idea of the costs of a tournament, Our first boys/girls tournament is at TPC Sugarloaf on Monday, February 15th. It’s a great course where Tiger Woods won. It is $1,100 for 6 boys and 4 girls to play.
If you are looking to volunteer, we have our Boys and Girls Invitationals on March 18th (Boys) and March 25th (Girls) at the Country Club of Gwinnett. These two tournaments help fund our program. We will be looking for sponsors and will have signs displaying their information. Dr. Savage, the Brookwood HS Principal, wants to be involved with our tournament as well, so those that are interested can let me know and we can meet to discuss ideas. We have full fields in each tournament with 17 girls teams and 10 boys teams coming. Each year it has been successful and we welcome your help.
I have 3 excellent coaches helping this season. Mike Graham, Dean Jackson and Jason Thomas. They are not compensated, except for golf shirts. We are all committed to helping your son be the best golfer and citizen that they can be.
We begin regular practices on Tuesday, February 6th at the CC of Gwinnett after school. Typically our practices are over by 4:30 or so until daylight savings.
Our Practice schedule-
Tuesdays- The CC of Gwinnett
Wednesdays- Cedar Lake (Range/Short Game only)
Thursdays- Cedar Lake (Tee times 3:00-3:30pm) Players will rotate on Thursdays
Friday- The CC of Gwinnett
We have one day on the range and short game area. The other days, we usually play 9 holes.
We have a great season planned and look forward to a successful 2024 golf season. Thank you for your support. Have a great rest of your weekend!
Coach Ed
