Muni Minute: Important Updates for Muni Members, AGM, Year-End Scramble, and Range Closure

As we approach the end of the season, we have a few important updates to share:

Annual General Meeting (AGM)

We invite all 2024 members of the Stratford Municipal Golf Course to attend our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, November 13th, at 7 PM in the clubhouse. This meeting is open exclusively to 2024 members. It’s a great opportunity to discuss the year, share feedback, and plan for the future of our club. We hope to see as many members as possible attend!

Year-End Members Closing Scramble

We’re looking forward to wrapping up the season in style with our Members Closing Scramble this Saturday, October 5th. For those who have signed up, the event will begin with an 11 AM shotgun start. We’re excited to see everyone for a fun day of golf, prizes, and celebration. Let’s make it a great finale to the season!

Driving Range Closure

As the season winds down, please note that the driving range will close for the season on Monday, October 14th. This will give us time to remove the nets and complete necessary repairs to the tee blocks. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we prepare the range for winter.

Course Closure – Weather Dependent

While the range will close soon, we’re hoping for more opportunities to get out on the course! Our course closure will remain weather-dependent, and we’re optimistic that we can enjoy some late October or even early November golf if the weather cooperates. Keep an eye on updates as we make decisions based on course conditions.

Thank you for your continued support and participation throughout the year. We’re looking forward to a great finish to the season!

Sincerely,
The Muni Team

Muni Minute: Another Day, Another Storm: Course Update

Dear Members and Guests,

It seems Mother Nature is not quite done with us yet. After yesterday’s intense storm, which brought 2 1/4 inches of rain in just three hours, we are facing some challenges with our course conditions once again.

Current Course Conditions:

  • Driving Range: The range will remain closed today due to the excessive water from the storm. We will provide updates as soon as conditions improve and we can reopen.
  • Carts: We will continue to assess conditions for carts throughout the day. While the chances for carts today are VERY SLIM, today’s forecast of hot and sunny weather may help us drain fast enough to allow carts this afternoon. Please call the pro shop to check for the latest updates on cart availability before arrival.

Despite these setbacks, our team is working diligently to manage the water and maintain the course. Your patience and understanding during this time are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.

Sincerely,

The Muni Team
