Well, well well well well!! What can I say about today. Hasn't the last half of Oct. been just crappy?! With last nights wee bit of precipitation ( 1.1 in. or 27.94mm ) we have received 6.56 in. ( 166.6mm ) of the wet stuff which just happens to be 172% of our normal amounts. So far this year we have experienced just 3 months with below normal precipitation May, Aug., and Sept. and the rest are substantially above normal precipitation. If we just receive our normal amounts for the rest of the year it will still be one of our highest precipitation years in the last 14 years ( our own records ). The rest of the week looks like it  is time for a good book or an in door putting contest  or something indoorsy ( not a word ). I've got my order in for good weather next week but we all know my influence with mother nature is tenuous at best so if anyone has more pull with the old bat give it a whirl. Play well at what ever your playing today.

A bit of rain this morning but it looks like that is going to pass through quite quickly so there will be another great day for your best round ever. The rainfall over the weekend totals about 1 1/4 in. ( 31 mm ) so there are a couple of wet spots but all in all not too bad. The start will be on time. Again, enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

A dry mild morning...what???...it looks like the whole day is going to be dry. Not likely dusty conditions for a few days but you never know. Get out and enjoy the day and we'll see you out there.

Saturday, October 27, 2012

Just like yesterday, the rain hasn't arrived yet but it's coming. For you early risers the afternoon is supposed to be wetter than the morning, so perhaps an early round would suit you today. Either way, a bit of rain is nothing a decent jacket can't contend with! Show your Pheasant Glen mettle!

Friday, October 26, 2012

According to the radar the rain that is supposed to be falling on us right now seems to be a few blocks away. Let's hope it stays there for a while as the forecast for the upcoming week is a soggy one. On a more positive note, we will start on time today without any frost worries. Enjoy your game.

Thursday, October 25, 2012

Yes folks another mild morning this morning which means a non delayed start time. Just a heads up for everyone that there looks like there won't be many dusty conditions for the next week or so. Just sayin'. Enjoy your day today and we'll see you out there.

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

Another warm morning greets us today. We will start on time again today which makes all the early risers happy and the rest of the day will be similar to yesterday so that will make the late risers happy as well. That is what we have come to expect out here on the course, happy, happy, happy. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Wow, who was that guy who wrote that yesterday morning was going to be sunny. Didn't he know that it is today that is going to be sunny or at least close to it. We had a bit of rain overnight ( barely enough to notice) so dust shouldn't be a problem today. The start should be on time with still a few showers hanging around. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Monday, October 22, 2012

So far so good on the frost situation, but, ( you knew that was coming ) as the sun comes up we could see some frost develop. If that does happen the delay will be minimal. A sunny start to the day today so there are no excuses to not enjoy a round of golf. Putt well and we'll see you out there.

Sunday, October 21, 2012

Sure go away for a couple of days and winter breaks out...what's with that?? There is frost this morning but, ( there is the hope ) but, there are clouds moving in so we could see enough warming to lift the frost before the start time. It will be close. If not then patience will be the word of the morning. If anyone is wondering what the word of the afternoon is, you have too much time on your hands. OK, OK, the word of the afternoon is birdies as there are plenty to be had out there. Play well, have fun and we'll see you out there.

With all this talk of rain we weren't expecting frost this morning. However, there it is. It isn't the nastiest frost we've ever seen, fortunately, so start times shouldn't be delayed very long if at all. Enjoy your day.

Thursday, October 11, 2012

Two days of cloud cover and already the snow birds are restless and starting to pack. For us hardy ones that are staying for the winter we have to experience at least a couple of more days before SAD kicks into high gear.( google it ) The start will be on time today so enjoy your day. We'll see you out there.

Wednesday, October 10, 2012

Its not winter yet, but,...isn't that a great start to the day!?! At least there is no chance of frost. We have a foggy morning to greet us and the hope is for the sun to burn it off before long. The first tee times all hit it straight down the middle so they don't have to worry about where their shots land but us later players need to see the whole course plus a few feet into the bush to feel at least a bit comfortable so we hope the fog lifts soon. Putt well and we'll see you out there.

Tuesday, October 9, 2012

Well we have another of those mornings where the temperature is just above the frost threshold and if it stays that way we will be able to start on time if not, we won't. If the past two days are an indication of how things will unfold we will be alright. It looks like the rain is going to hit us on Friday so get while the gettin's good so the saying goes. Keep your head down and we'll see you out there.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you have an easy time recalling all your reasons for celebrating today's holiday. The warm temperatures yesterday have carried over to this morning so a frost delay is ( do I dare say it ? ) unlikely, however , expect the unexpected. Get the turkey in the oven and come on out for a round of golf as the days are a numbered for dry golfing conditions. Putt well and we'll see you out there.

Sunday, October 7, 2012

We have been blessed with another clear night with the temperature hovering around freezing. ( How does a temperature hover??) If you are golfing this morning be prepared for a bit later start as Jack F--- is skulking around. 9:00 has been the time of the week so that won't be far off again today. The afternoon is going to be absolutely beautiful golfing weather. Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

3 degrees and dropping here at the course. Throw clear skies into the mix and we start to sound like a broken record: "We've got frost. Hopefully, it burns off quickly once the sun comes up. We've been able to start shortly after nine o'clock for most of this week and that's what we'll wish for today." Enjoy what will eventually be a warm and beautiful afternoon.

Friday, October 5, 2012

Same scenario as yesterday, I'm afraid. We'll hope for somewhere around 9:00 as a start time but, as usual, please don't quote me on that.

Thursday, October 4, 2012

Just a bit cooler than yesterday as if everyone hasn't noticed. The course is white again so the start will be delayed until the frost has melted off. That exact time will be ....ha, ha ,ha fooled you, there is no exact time. We got going a little after 9:00 yesterday so the best guess is just a little later than yesterday, so, 9:15ish with emphasis on the ish.Yesterday afternoon was just a  beautiful day to be on the golf course in case all you morning people are at all interested. Just sayin'. Putt well and we'll see you out there.

Wow, that summer sure went fast. It seems like a long time ago that the f word was used on this blog ( frost, silly ) . In  fact 136 days ago. Well it's baaaack! Instead of a green golf course this morning we have a brilliantly white one. Now the next and nearly most important question of the day is when can everyone get out to play golf? Here comes the hard part for nearly everyone to believe, we will get started as soon as possible after, again, after the frost melts off and that time is always a good guess. Today's guess will be around 9:00ish. If you are new to the golf course and want to know why we wait for the frost to clear ask one of our older members and they will explain to you the reasons as they have heard them from us on numerous occasions. If they are closed mouth on this subject their lips are probably frozen. The sun will shine today so a glorious afternoon can be enjoyed. Here it goes again, We'll see you out there.
