The FarmGolf Super Weekend I is already a big hit with scalpers, as evidenced by the below photo taken just one day after the wedding invitations were mailed out. We're sure to be bombarded with more scalpers for the evening ticket event at Lil' Moe's.

2007 FarmGolf Masters on Sunday April 8, 2006
(FGP) As a part of FarmGolf Super Weekend I festivities, the sixth installment of the FarmGolf Masters will feature a number of "wedding holdovers" making their FarmGolf debuts. Those who perform really well will have a chance to reach a Top 50 FarmGolfer in the World Ranking.
The format will be three players per team, with each team playing three rounds of golf for a total of 18 holes. Play will begin around 1PM, however special arrangements can be made for tee times as early as 9:00AM for those who must travel a significant distance home.
All participants, especially those wanting to get "ranking points", should bring a covered dish item for the FarmGolf buffet or Strongest FarmGolfer Contest.
2007 FarmGolf Calendar Released
(FGP) The final edition of the 2007 FarmGolf Calendar was delayed until a few days into the new year. This was due to the calendar contract being switched to Staples from OfficeMax.
Features in this year's calendar include the world famous FarmGolf Aerial Photographer, Eric McGuire, adorning the cover. Also, the January month featured a look back to the year 19 B.F. (Before FarmGolf) with the way life was back prior to the invention of the world's fastest growing sport.
Collages from the FarmGolf European Tour and more extensive WVU Football Tailgate pictures from the 2006 season are included.
The 2007 cover picture and first month's picture and calendar are shown here. For the entire 2007 calendar, click here.
Annual FarmGolf Banquet, December 17, 2006
(FGP) The traditional FarmGolf Banquet had a change of venue for the 2006 season. For the first time, ladies were given a FarmGolf Urinal reprieve and the banquet was moved to the Commissioner/Photographer residence. One of the reasons for the relocation of the banquet was to view the ongoing changes of the primary residence at FarmGolf.
Significant renovations are being done in preparation for FarmGolf Super Weekend I, as can be evidenced from the below photos. Renovations will be completed in March, 2007.

Las Vegas Course Update
(FGP) FarmGolf sent a couple to Las Vegas on February 10th to check on the much-delayed FarmGolf Course located on the Strip between the MGM Grand and the Aladdin Hotels. This course was slated to open last year, but has experienced some construction delays. Two Philippi area residents, Pam Green and Greg Annon, promised to check up on the progress of this state-of-the-art facility.
However, as often happens in Las Vegas, they became sidetracked by the many wedding chapels along Las Vegas Boulevard. Although all of the circumstances are unknown at the time of this newsletter's publication, the result of their course inspection can be viewed here.
Marketing Director Search Continues
(FGP) After the problems associated with previous Marketing Directors (see link 1, link 2, link 3), we have delayed the filling of this position until March, 2007. A lot has happened since the last newsletter in November, 2006.
FarmGolf has debated amongst the Board of Directors for the past three months as to whether or not the new hire should have a totally clean background with little or no "skeletons in the closet", OR should we continue and hire someone who resembles many of the FarmGolfers and likes to really have a good time and also do his or her job.
While the second type of hire has worked for a short time, and later "gone to hell", it still intrigues many of us to finally get it right one way or the other.
During our current search, we have received some contact from two former employees, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. We were extremely shocked when they both showed up at the Clubhouse last week. Each of them alternately demanded their old job back or some sort of package deal between the two of them.
Regardless of the previous good times that many of us had with them, we just could not see it working again, especially since it didn't turn out well the last time. So, the Board sent them on their merry way, and it was later found out that they drowned their sorrows at Lil' Moe's in Philippi. Below a picture catches them both still a bit upset, while others enjoy their "moment of sorrow".
Disgruntled Former Employees Paris Hilton and Britney Spears

As a final note, FarmGolf found out just a couple of days prior to this newsletter that Britney had shaved her head and was really despondent. We, at FarmGolf, sincerely hope that it was not due to our rejection of her again assuming Marketing Director duties.
In conclusion, various FarmGolfers and/or the following females have submitted "interview videos" as a consideration for employment. These would be classified as potential employees with a relatively clean background and no skeletons in the closet.
A final decision will be made on this
very important position in the near future, and those emails regarding the
employment of either Lindsay Lohan or Tara Reid will also be taken into
consideration.
