 Well, it's a tradition like no other. Okay, well, maybe it's not quite the Masters, but the Birchmont is back and ready to take over Bemidji for the 93rd time. Over the next week, golfers from all over will tee off at the beautiful town and country club, hoping to be the last one standing in their division on Saturday. Over 300 golfers again, teed off today and also tomorrow in the qualifying rounds, hoping to still be swinging it for Wednesday in match play. The field features all the defending champs from a year ago, including the Israel Sin siblings, but get ready for an exciting week of golf in Bemidji's premier amateur tournament that never disappoints. In any organization, any event to last that long and still be popular, still be current, it speaks for itself. 93rd Birchmont, I've been involved in, you know, really the last 20. You know, the excitement that all the players have, whether it's the 12 and under juniors or all the way through to all our different divisions, the field is very deep, many, many great players and I encourage anyone to come out and watch. It's once we get, especially once we get into the match play starting Wednesday, come out, take part of the tournament to feel the excitement out here. So here's the schedule, the day and tomorrow qualifying for all divisions. Wednesday match play begins in Thursday and Friday. We have some more match play as well than Saturday, it all concludes with the finals crown, a championship.
