🏌🏽That's a wrap on BMW Championship week at Bellerive!
As we look back on an incredible week, we want to start by thanking our residents for your patience, cooperation, and support while road closures were in place. We know the week brought some inconveniences, and your support played a huge role in helping everything run safely and smoothly.
We're also grateful to the PGA TOUR, Western Golf Association, Bellerive Country Club, Creve Coeur Police Department, St. Louis County Police Department, Missouri State Highway Patrol, West County EMS & Fire Protection District, Chesterfield Missouri Police Department, Des Peres Department of Public Safety, Maryland Heights Police Department, Webster Groves Missouri Police Department, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (OFFICIAL), West Central Dispatch Center, MoDOT - St. Louis, American Red Cross, US National Weather Service Saint Louis Missouri, St. Luke's Hospital - St. Louis, St. Louis County Office of Emergency Management, and our federal law enforcement partners for working alongside us to make the event a success. An event of this size takes a tremendous amount of coordination and teamwork, and we simply could not have done it without the support and assistance of our partner agencies.
And, of course, we're especially proud of our officers. Throughout the week, they worked long hours, adjusted schedules, came in on their days off, and spent countless hours directing traffic, securing the area, assisting residents and visitors, and responding to the everyday calls for service that continued throughout the city. Their dedication, professionalism, and willingness to do whatever was needed helped ensure both the tournament and our city remained safe. We couldn't be more appreciative of the hard work they put in throughout the week.
We also have to give a special thank you to 1st Phorm for supplying our team with snacks, energy drinks, and protein shakes throughout the week - and replenishing our supply when we ran out. Donut Palace STL, the stereotype isn’t wrong - thank you for the sweet treats. We appreciate your generosity and support.
Finally, events like this don't come together in just a few days. For more than a year, members of our command and support staff, alongside our law enforcement partners, worked behind the scenes to develop and coordinate traffic and public safety plans and ensure security was in place for the course and players. Seeing more than a year of planning and collaboration come together successfully this week made all of the hard work worth it.
We're proud of our team, thankful for our partners, and especially grateful to our community for helping us safely welcome over a hundred thousand guests to Town & Country.
Here are a few of our favorite moments from the week!
