Sunday, June 7th was a historic and landmark day in BFCC’s history with the dedication of the BFCC course as the Governor Thomas P. Salmon Course at the Bellows Falls Country Club.
Earlier this year, BFCC received the transformational gift of $250,000 from the Family of the late Governor Thomas P. Salmon. In grateful recognition of the Salmon’s incredible generosity, the BFCC Board of Trustees approved the naming of the course as the Governor Thomas P. Salmon Course at the Bellows Falls Country Club.
This remarkable gift’s lasting impact will position BFCC well into the Club’s future and sustain our journey and commitment to providing an outstanding recreational and social experience for our members, our guests and our community.
On June 7, the course was officially named the Governor Thomas P. Salmon Course at the Bellows Falls Country Club with the unveiling of naming signage and a dedication ceremony honoring the late Governor. An 18-hole tournament followed the dedication with Family members of Anne Salmon Darby, Jerry Darby, Tommy Salmon, Buster Salmon, Jodie Bisson and family friends having the honors of the first to tee off on the Governor Thomas P. Salmon Course.
BFCC has a history and legacy of over 103 years, and we are profoundly honored to name the course for Governor Salmon, a distinguished Vermont leader who dedicated his life’s work for the betterment of Vermont and Vermonters, whom he championed the value of an education for all Vermonters.
