Hello Everyone

A quick update on some dates and events as we round into October.

Our Driving range will close for the season on October 8th. This is to give us time to grow back in the tee block area, which has had a very hard season and to also get the safety netting in before bad weather.

Our Club Closing Scramble is this Saturday with a Shotgun start at 11am. The event is currently full to groups but we do have 3 single spots remaining for anyone who wants to join for the day of golf, BBQ and door prizes. Thank you to everyone who has signed up and filled the day!!

The forecast looks beautiful next week and there is still lots of great golf days ahead!! We hope that Octobers weather remains beautiful and we can stretch out the golf season as long as possible to make up for the rainy summer.

Cheers

Also a quick reminder that the Clubhouse will be off limits as we host the PGA of Canada for seminars over the next 3 days until 4:30pm. The men’s room door from outside will be open for locker room and bath room availability and the west side door for Ladies room. The range will also remain closed Wednesday until 4pm.

Hello Everyone

A quick reminder that today is the last Men’s League night!! Although tonight’s scores do not count towards the league, it is a night to collect any team winnings, brag about your season, and also enjoy our year end roast beef meal. (Free to all league participants).

The meal will be served from 3:30pm to 6:30pm and all men’s league rewards will be handed out at the first tee from 1pm-6:30pm.

For anyone wondering about last weeks scores, the week will be canceled as only 10 players were able to get their scores in with the course being closed Wednesday through Friday and Saturday/Sunday having no carts.

We look forward to seeing everyone out tomorrow night and even though the league has officially ended please feel free to continue booking your Wednesday night round.

Cheers

This past weekend we saw our Men’s and Sr. Men’s Club Championships. After an early morning storm Saturday, participants were able to take the course for day 1. Terry Adair lead the way with a 3 under 67, while Dan Adair and Dean Sharp stayed on his tail with rounds of even par 70.

Our Sr. Championship saw Dean Sharp take down the field with that even par 70, finding himself 4 shot ahead of second place finisher Ken Rielly shooting a score of 74.

Day 2 saw Terry keep up his stellar play posting a quick 33 on the front 9!! Allowing him to cruise to a 5 shot victory over 2nd place and brother Dan Adair (+3). Terry finished with a 71 on the day and -2 for the event to claim the title.

Congratulations Terry and Dean on your wins.

August is here and hopefully it is dry!! July was the month of rain with the Muni seeing over 300mm of rain.

The staff continue to do there best getting the course dry and back to our standards. As the puddling starts to disappear will do have dead spots from water sitting and the heat. We did our best to continually pump water but it just kept coming and at times we had no where to move it. If you find your ball in these areas please consider it ground under repair. You will also see these areas being seeded in the near future so please do your best to avoid these areas and allow them to grow back in.

Our Men’s/ Sr.’s and Ladies club championship sign up deadlines are coming soon. Anyone looking to play, please make sure to get signed up at the pro shop counter before these deadlines.

Here’s hoping to a dry August.

Wet July

In May and June we saw a combined rainfall total of 50mm. This July ( just18 days in) we have already seen 180mm!!! It has tested our new drainage to its fullest and thankfully we have done that work or we may of seen the course closed much longer and carts off the course until August. We hope this beautiful weather we have seen in the last few days continues and that Carts and the Range will be back in action today or tomorrow.
