BELLA VISTA — The Bella Vista Property Owners Association’s Joint Advisory Committee on Golf invites residents to sponsor a sprinkler head.

Sponsoring a sprinkler head, or two or more, will help generate funds to accurately map and graphically display the golf holes. Accomplishing this task will facilitate new, improved scorecards and tee signs, and ensure that all of the sprinkler-head yardages are correct, according to the committee.

The Golf Division will secure a mapping service to map the number of courses contributions allow. Upon completion of the mapping, sprinkler heads will be assigned to each sponsor, and tags will be made and installed prior to the next golf season.

A sprinkler head may be sponsored for a period of two years for an initial price of $20. Renewal of the sponsorship, after two years, will cost $10.

Forms are available at www.bellavistapoa.com/ golf/sprinkler/index.asp.
