0c with clear skies...your darn right there is frost. What the h-- (that is not swearing) is the snowfall warning still doing posted. That is a stretch. There are supposed to be a few showers passing through today and the snow in the higher elevations doesn't mean #11 silver tee either so don't worry. It is the last day of Feb. today so I guess the next big excitement is to see if Mar. comes in like a lamb or a lion. For those that don't know the drill on that ask a prairie transplant. Enjoy your day.

How serious is Environment Canada with the snow fall warning? I think they may be just a bit over cautious. The temperature is above 0c and the system is coming out of the south so what the heck...another good day for golf. Warm with a bit of a south breeze just enough to keep the mosquitoes away. Is this a new coffee sweetener in my coffee or ...

The bad news first..-5c with clear skies....the good news is that it is going to be sunny today and if the sun shines early ( not like yesterday ) the frost will melt earlier than yesterday. More good news...it is going to cloud over tonight with a few showers so probably no frost tomorrow. The bad news...it might snow tonight if it stays cold. The good news...spring is only three weeks away. Enjoy your day.

-4c ...need I say more..the airport is reporting a 0c temperature so that leads me to beleive that there is a lot of hot air escaping from the neighborhoods around there. The sun is supposed to shine today so a midmorning start (10:30ish ) seems likely. With the colder night the ground will also be frozen so we will probably start the day on temps and move onto regular greens when they thaw out. If the sun throws some heat we usually get off of temps around noon. Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

Over 4/5 of an inch of rain fell yesterday and, thanks to the wonders of drainage, the course is ready for play today. There's not a thing to complain about! Well, maybe just one: there is a warning that we're in for some chilly wind out of the northwest today. Only 70 km/hr, though, and if we think in terms of miles per hour it brings the number down to a mere 43 or so. Add a toque and a couple of layers to your day and all is well. Enjoy your game.

The powers that be have issued warnings for wind, rain and even a bit snow today. The trees are already leaning to one side, so it seems the warnings were justified. Good luck to anyone who just can't say yes to a day indoors. Have fun (?) out there.

-1c ....That is a terrible start to the days musings. Everyone knows the consequences of freezing temperatures..the F word. The sun is supposed to poke out this morning so the delay should ( if and or but ) only be until 10:00ish. The rest of the week looks damp so today would be a good time to get a dry game of golf in. Enjoy the day and we'll see you out there.

This is the finished bunker renovation on hole #16. Great job maintenance staff!

3c with a north west breeze and clear skies. Usually that means frost but this morning is different for some strange reason ( go figure ). That might yet change before sunrise but if so the start delay will be minimal. The rest of the day is going to be beautiful with nothing but sunshine. Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

Tuesday, February 21, 2012

Yeah, Yeah,...it didn't rain yesterday as someone posted yesterday, on the blog. Sue me.. Another bold prediction today..no rain or at the very most a scattered sprinkle. It's 4c already so everyone knows the day is going to be great. Enjoy the multitude of birdies.

Monday, February 20, 2012

What the heck...a little rain never hurt anyone. I'm sure everyone has heard that statement before. For those that buy into that statement, the day won't be that bad. For those that don't, well a steady diet of drizzle is a good excuse to read a book or something. Whatever you do today, enjoy.

Sunday, February 19, 2012

It is one of those mornings today, just enough cloud cover so there is no frost as of yet but the skies do look like they are clearing a bit so there could, and that is a maybe almost, be frost. The start time will be.....on time with an 'IF' ( that is a big if ). There are just showers forecast so we all know what that means, great golf in February. The week ahead looks good except for maybe Tues. but if we didn't get any rain we wouldn't be a rain forest now would we. Enjoy your day and plan well for all the birdies.

So far today looks to be the flipside of yesterday when it comes to golfing conditions. Some wind and rain in the morning followed (hopefully) by only isolated showers in the afternoon. Whether that turns out to be accurate or not, the greens are receptive and rolling smoothly, so don't let a few raindrops scare you off. Have fun.

Friday, February 17, 2012

It looks like an early tee time may be in order today as conditions are currently calm and dry; however, there is a wind warning in effect for the afternoon. Add a bit of rain to the mix and we're back to thinking about an early tee time. Enjoy your round.

Thursday, February 16, 2012

Today's "cloudy with showers" sounds better than tomorrow's "light rain", so I know which day I'd be concentrating on if I had to choose just one. In that spirit the greens are currently being rolled in a right-to-left fashion, with the bunkers being raked in more of a back-and-forth pattern finished off with a gentle swoop. Come on out and enjoy your round.

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

If there's a downside to a sunny afternoon in February it's the possibility of frost in the morning. As that possibility has become a reality it will likely be at least 10:30 before we get going here this morning. A good excuse to finish off your heart-shaped chocolates from yesterday. Have fun out there.

With over half an inch of rain last night things are a bit soggy at the course this morning. It eased up a while ago, though, so there are really only a few puddles here and there to contend with before the sun comes out in the afternoon. Enjoy the conditions and have fun.

Is spring here??..8c with a slight breeze this morning. Sounds inviting for a game of golf. The rain that is forecast isn't supposed to fall until this evening so a morning tee time would should could miss it all. Play well and if you start to feel bad about your game remember our friends and relatives who are snowed in and wonder what they would say if you called them and explained how bad you have it. Enjoy your round.

Wednesday, February 8, 2012

Yeah, no frost this morning. Things are looking up. No don't really look up as you might get an eye full of rain. There is a light, moderate ok fairly brisk wind this morning as well. All in all a good day for golf if you are visiting from somewhere else in Canada, not so much if you live here. Enjoy whatever you do today.

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

-3 or -4 it all depends on what part of the road your on. The moon is so bright you almost have to wear sun glasses. OK that's a stretch but you know what I mean. We got going on temps just after 10:00 yesterday, today is colder so 11ish would be a better target for a start. If the sun rises and the fog doesn't roll in it could be a bit earlier. Tomorrow is supposed to be better with rain and also rain for the rest of the week so there should be no delays in the start time then. Yeah!?! Enjoy the sunshine.

Monday, February 6, 2012

-2c...clear skies with a brilliant full moon..see you around 10ish. Sorry for the curtness of the note today but I am still upset the Patriots lost yesterday..I'll be over it by tomorrow, or maybe noon today, well probably at the morning coffee break everyone takes but us of course hard workers that we are, heck I feel better already. Just getting to the golf course puts a person in a good frame of mind. The holes have been changed and most of the golfers yesterday were getting lots and lots of birdies so come prepared.

Sunday, February 5, 2012

FFFOOOGGG...It isn't quite pea soup but it is a nuisance...the temperature is hovering around 1c this morning so dank would be an appropriate description. We should start on time barring anything that would clear the skies. The start of the week looks good so come out and enjoy some great golf while the dry weather lasts.

Saturday, February 4, 2012

This morning is a carbon copy of where we were 24 hours ago. If it remains that way there should be nothing to delay tee times or warrant the use of rain jackets. Winter golf doesn't get much better than that. Have fun out there.

Friday, February 3, 2012

Even though you can see your breath the cloud cover has kept the frost away this morning. It looks like we'll start on time. Enjoy your round.

Thursday, February 2, 2012

Who among the early birds has all the influence with mother nature as she is sure agreeable this winter. A little rain overnight to keep the frost away yet not enough to make a mess. Good job whoever you are. The start will be on time unless someone irritates mother you no who. Sunshine latter so the birdies will be falling...be prepared.

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

What a beautiful February 1st morning! Although a little frosty, it is great to arrive to sunshine and the promise of a good golf day.

The golf gods of the early risers are angry this morning. We have a frost event. The start time will be delayed but for all who wish to golf after 10:00 am the day is going to be lovely. Again enjoy the sunshine.
There are stars shining this morning but, there was also a shower that just passed through so the temperature is just above the level we get frost. The big question is, is it going to stay that way or is the temperature going to drop. Stay tuned to see how the situation unfolds. Quite a dramatic start to the day isn't it. Enjoy the sunshine today.
