It should be a pretty good day for golf as only a bit of rain is expected today. It's a bit of a damp, grey morning so far, but as long as the heavy rain stays a couple hours south of here we won't complain at all. Until Monday, that is, when the heavy rain...but I digress. Enjoy your game TODAY.

Wind?..What wind..Rain?.. What rain.. More wind this morning?...Yeah right...The storm is over and nothing but sunny skies for the rest of the day. Unless something changes. At least the rain came in the middle of the night and didn't ruin any ones golf game. Another glorious day in paradise today. The bonus of last nights rain is that now the greens are really receptive and the fairways aren't as firm so, the unexpected roll and bounces are kept to a minimum. Control of the golf ball is key for lower scores. So there are lots of birdies to be had today, come prepared. Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

What can a person say today other than " BATON DOWN THE HATCHES". That is a saying I recall from my youth on the prairies and I seriously doubt that 90% of the people, using said saying, actually knew what it meant. I know I didn't. I just thought it was a short saying for, holy crap is it windy. If you are a glass half empty type person do not, I repeat do not, look at the Environment Canada forecast for Nanaimo for the next week. Remember we do live in a rain forest. The good news is that the start is on time today. Enjoy your golf and we'll see you out there.

OK, for those who have already looked at the weather forecast, it's not all that bad. You will be downwind on holes  2,6,13-17 and there will not be any airborne dust to worry about. Oh yeah, more good news. There is no frost so the start will be on time. That is all the information needed for the, glass half full, golfer. Enjoy your day on the course and we'll see you out there.

2c and lo and behold the stars are shining. Will there be frost this morning?..only time will tell and if there is any it won't last long and the greens won't be frozen. The rain showers are headed this way but like the frost will they hit or miss us? The greens are rolling good so there should be plethora of birdies out there. Oh yeah, the start should be on time but I defer to above. Play well and we'll see you out there.

-1c with clear skies..yes, yes, yes...I know, same as yesterday. It looks like the next couple of days are going to be the best of the week so if you have an inclination to play some golf this week , like Bob Barker used to say, come on down. We started on temps around 9:45 yesterday and regular greens about 11:00ish and there probably won't be much difference today. The rain starts Tues. We'll see you out there.

-1 with clear skies. It's very...scenic...out there. Of course, by very scenic I mean very frosty. It will be a few hours before the sun does its thing, but after that it looks to be a beautiful day for golf. It may even hit 11 degrees, believe it or not. Let's hope for start times around 10:00 or so, but I'd suggest checking in with the pro shop before loading up your clubs today. Enjoy your round.

Only a few showers are expected this morning, and then it looks like sunshine for today, tomorrow and even the next day, believe it or not. Come on out and enjoy some dry weather while it's here, because by Monday I think the rain is a comin'! Have fun.

-3c with clear skies...yes you guessed correctly, we will have a bit of a delay this morning, though, if the sun stays out, it shouldn't be too long. We got going  around 11:00 yesterday but there was a bit of snow to melt off first. We are lucky today in that we don't have any snow to deal with. The rest of the week looks like it could almost be spring with temperatures in the double digits and sunshine. Stock up on sunscreen and be prepared for the few crazies that are going to put their shorts on for the first time this year. Enjoy your round and we'll see you out there.

Still covered in snow but the sun is starting to shine. It will be sometime after lunch before we have anything open. We will update again at 11:30.

Wow, what a day we had yesterday... snow rain sunshine you'd think it was spring. As anyone can tell by looking outside it is still the middle of winter. At least we don't have to shovel it, yet. A typical winter day ahead ( spring is on the way ). It is -3c now so the snow will take awhile to melt if and when the sun decides to shine. If everyone starts stretching around 10:00 this morning and then calls the pro shop we should have a good handle on when the start time will be. The snowfall accumulations tonight are forecast for less than 1cm so that is good news. Enjoy your day.

2c with a mix of rain and clear skies, oh yeah and a bit of a breeze. No frost this morning ( yet ) . A day of intermittent showers is forecast so bring an umbrella and sunscreen. For the first day of spring, typical. I have noticed large divots laying around on the fairways that are not being replaced. Please if you see someone in your group take a large pelt out and not replace it, gently remind them that a replaced divot will grow back faster than a sand filled divot. If they need a hand to lift and place it, be kind enough to help them with that task as there are a few out there that need a man and a small boy to lift. With every ones cooperation the fairways will all be in better shape. Enjoy your round today and we'll see you out there.

-2c...cloudy...light breeze. A little different than yesterday. Alas the outcome will most likely be the same unless there is a shower in the area that passes over the course. We started out on temps yesterday and got switched over to regular greens around 10:00ish. The day is going to be a bit windy but the rain is supposed ( there is that word again ) to hold off until this evening so another good day for a round of golf. The course is giving up all sorts of birdies so be prepared ( birdie juice ). Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

The stars are shining bright..-2c... no wind...It looks like a mid morning tee time will be close to the start time today. Some people might need the extra time this morning to recover fully (even partially )from the St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Just maybe. Whats that saying about a hairy dog or is it hair of the dog? Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

Let's call this morning one of "moderate frost potential". The threat is definitely there but we may get lucky. Luck of the Irish may play a role today. Happy St. Patrick's Day and enjoy your round.

Those of you who've been braving the elements this past week will be happy to know that it gets a bit easier today. Only the odd shower is forecast for the next couple of days, so with a few layers and a toque you'll be playing golf with a smile instead of a grimace. The clouds have kept the frost away this morning, keeping start times where they should be. Enjoy your round.

4c and no wind warning. A brilliant start to the day. The forecast is for just a bit of rain today ( 80% less than what we received yesterday ). The birdies are patiently waiting for everyone to come out and play. Make it a good day and we'll see you out there.

2c with a slight breeze out of the south east. The wind warning is supposed to be lifted by this afternoon. The rain, well lets just say, Sat. looks good. Has anyone seen a good movie lately? Enjoy your day and help someone else enjoy theirs as well.

-1c ...moonlight glistening off the snow...no wind. It looks like showers around today which at this time could be either snow or rain. The forecast is threatening sunny periods this afternoon so bring sunscreen along for your afternoon round of golf. There is a wind warning for early Wed. morning posted so another front is heading this way. Is it just me or is this unusual weather for this time of year?  It reminds me of the typical storm weather we get in Nov. and Dec. Lets blame it on global warming. Enjoy whatever you do today.

Bad News
The doctor tells Ole he only has a few days left to live. Ole thinks a little, looks hard at Lena, and says, “Lena, promise me. Swear to me that when I’m gone, you’ll marry Sven Svenson.”
“SVEN SVENSON???” she shrieks. “You’ve hated him all your life!”
Ole answers, “Yep, I still do.”

Cake
A few days pass. Now Ole only has a few hours left to live. Lying in bed, he smells something. Cake. Chocolate cake, his favorite! He crawls out of bed and drags himself to the kitchen.
When Lena walks in, there is Ole, sitting at the kitchen table, eating cake. She hollers at him, “Ole! What are you doing in here? You’re sick! You should be in bed! You shouldn’t be out here eating cake! That’s for the funeral!”

The Newspaper
Ole died. Lena goes to the newspaper office to print the death notice.
The clerk asks her, “What do you want it to say?”
“Ole died.”
The clerk looks up. “What else?”
“Nothing else.”
“But Lena, you were married to Ole all those years. Don’t you want to say anything else about him?”
“Nope.”
The clerk thinks a minute. “You know, Lena, it won’t cost you any more if you add a little. The first ten words are the same price.”
“Ten words, and it won’t cost extra?” she asks.
The clerk nods.
Lena thinks hard, then says, “Ole died. Boat for sale.”

2c...wind howling..rain coming sideways. Curling on TV.
Enjoy whatever you do today!

2c with clear skies....So far so good for the start being on time but if it gets any colder we could see some frost. With the time change thrown in there might be a slight delay. It doesn't look like there will be any rain until late this afternoon so there is no excuse for not getting out for a round of golf today. The wind warning is for tomorrow morning so who knows, that might not happen. There might be a scattered shower passing by so be prepared and enjoy your day today. 10 days until spring.

They claim there is some rain coming this afternoon. For now, though, the only precipitation I see is dew and we can deal with that. The cloud cover is keeping the frost at bay, so start times will remain right where they should be. Enjoy your day.

The trend for this week is a bit of rain, then a bit more, then a bit more after that. However, no frost is included in that scenario, so things are looking up. Today's forecast calls for the least amount of rain of the next few days, which means we should see you early risers out there in an hour or so. Enjoy your round.

-2c with not so clear skies. We have frost this morning. The only uncertainty is the start time this morning. We got going about 10:00 on temps yesterday which would be a good goal for today. The long range forecast looks good, for no frost in the mornings, for the next couple of weeks. Now the question is do you want to believe that forecast or not. Is your glass half full or half empty? Enjoy your dry day today and we'll see you out there.

-4c and clear skies..only the robins are happy this morning...they sure make a lot of noise for a small bird....It was cold ( ffffreezing) all night so the ground will be frozen which means the course will open on temps to start with. We got going on regular greens ( on the front )  around 11:00 yesterday which might be pushing it today but we'll see how the morning goes. The afternoon yesterday was very nice and we were surprised not more people take advantage of the great latter day conditions. Give it a try sometime, you might like it. Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

Two weeks today...the countdown is on. No it's not St. Patrick's Day, guess again. We have clear skies this morning and the temperature is hovering around freezing. The start time will be delayed a bit but with full sunshine the wait will be minimal. Is it too early for sunscreen? Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

I don't think anyone saw this coming or if they did nobody was talking. What you may ask am I talking about? If you are asking that question you haven't looked outside yet this morning. ( SNOW ) The accumulations are minimal yet but it is still falling. The day might start off a bit late but it is supposed to be sunny this afternoon. Remember spring is less than 3 weeks away.

5c with some cloud cover bodes well for an on time start. The forecast is for rain but the satellite photos show only scattered clouds so it is a good day for golf . The robins are singing loudly this morning so they as well are in agreement that today is a good day. Bring lots of birdie juice as the course is giving up the elusive birdies in droves. Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

Some more thin cloud and five useful degrees of warmth have put us right back where we want to be at this time of year: on time. My advice is to shut down your computers and pick up your clubs before someone else beats you to it. Enjoy your round.

There is a layer of cloud that is very skillfully keeping away the frost this morning. If that keeps up there should no problem with teeing off at 8:30 on the dot. Enjoy your day.

Where is the snow and rain coming from this morning? There must be a hole in the fabric of space time. The forecast is for fog patches this morning and whatever else is in the area I guess. With the temperature hovering around 0c we could have a bit of a delay with the start. It is all a depends question. It depends on whether the skies clear, the sun shines, etc. As usual we will open the golf course as soon as possible. Keep your spirits up ( whatever methods you choose ).
