8:00 a.m. Golf - Mount Washington
Course
The 18-hole Mount Washington Course
was designed by legendary Scottish Architect Donald Ross
and was completed in 1915. This Par 71 course has hosted four
New Hampshire Opens.
Reopened on August 1, 2008, the Mount Washington
Course has been restored to Donald Ross’ original plans by noted
golf course architect Brian Silva. Includes bunkers
crafted in a classic flair and infinite varieties of recovery
shots in the closely cropped areas around the putting greens.
The par-five 11th hole and the par-three 5th hole feature
stunning views of The Mount Washington Hotel and surrounding
mountains.The Mount Washington Course was voted “Best Course You
Can Play” in NH in both 2009 and 2010!
Spa
For more than a century,
guests have retreated to Mount Washington Resort for the fresh
mountain air and pristine natural landscape. With nearly 800,000
acres of White Mountain National Forest to nourish the body and
feed the soul, it’s the perfect setting for The Spa.
Bretton Woods Canopy
Tour
Located right here in Bretton Woods, NH, and descending over
1000 feet of elevation, the tour takes nature-lovers and
thrill-seekers across a series of tree-top zip lines, and is the
longest zip line canopy tour in New England and one of the
longest canopy tours in the continental United States!
High-flying suspension bridges and hiking trails connect the zip
lines, and the tour concludes with the Williwaw Racing Zip, a
dual, side-by-side zip line leading right into the Bretton Woods
base area!
Williwaw Racing Zip
The Williwaw Racing Zip
is a great way to
sample the last zip line of the Canopy Tour and is a thrilling
ride on its own. One ride takes about 20 minutes, including
getting harnessed up, transported to the top and getting
unharnessed. Plus - you may take multiple rides at a reduced
rate, provided you stay in your harness and do your rides in
immediate succession!
Summer Fun
The Resort is set amidst
nearly 800,000 acres of White Mountain National Forest, offering
the opportunity to enjoy any number of outdoor activities from
spring through fall, including mountain biking, horseback
riding, hiking/walking, fly fishing, rock climbing and just
plain exploring!

The PHCC Educational Foundation's
Understanding Overhead program is now
available for sale. This
excellent tool helps users to calculate a
selling price that covers all their costs of
doing business and provides the net profit
percentage they desire.
The Overhead CD comes loaded with Excel
spreadsheets that take users through the
steps of calculating their Direct Labor
Costs (for up to 10 technicians per company
or department), Overhead Costs, Break-Even
Rate, Profitable Selling Price, Monthly &
Annual Net Profit, and Target Revenue &
Profit Goals.
The CD includes narrated video tutorials to
guide users through how to use the
worksheets and a printed guide with
additional instructions and examples. Extra
tools on the CD include a Lost Time to
Dollars productivity calculator and a
Financial Ratios calculator to help you
analyze & compare your financials against
industry averages.
|
Business owners can use the spreadsheets in a
company meeting to demonstrate to employees the true
costs of doing business and why all that money they
collect from customers isn't going into the owner's
pocket!
PHCC chapters are encouraged to give an overview of
the program at local chapter meetings to help new or
small business owner members gain better control
over their pricing policies. The CDs can also be
used as member recruitment or retention gifts by
your chapter.
The CD is available for sale through the PHCC
website at
www.phccweb.org,
item #9310. PHCC member pricing is $99, or
$129 for non-PHCC members. Multiple copy discounts
are available for PHCC chapters or other groups.
