It looks like the rain has passed by for today. Another good golf day ahead. Come out and relieve the stress the tax man has put everyone under. Today is the last day of showers before the onslaught of the infamous May flowers so be prepared for tomorrows bloom fest. Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

The powers that be say there's a millimetre of rain to come today but so far there's no sign of it. That's too paltry an amount to pay any mind to anyway, so why not concentrate on golf instead of the weather. Keep your heads down out there, unless you lift your head to make sure your head is down. Enjoy your round.

With the aeration of the greens complete you'd think the season would be underway without a hitch; however, there is frost out there this morning if you can believe it. As we say at this time of year, "it shouldn't be a long wait once the sun comes up", so let's hope for no delay in start times. Today is the sunny day of the next few, so make the most of it and enjoy your round.

It looks like the weather front that brought yesterdays rain has passed over so today will be a dry day. The back nine will be closed to start the day.We couldn't put the sand down yesterday because of the rain so we will finish that portion of the aeration today. The front nine will be open and if all goes 'according to Hoyle' the back will be open soon after lunch. Enjoy your day and we might see you out there.

A bit of a humid morning to start with but I think the worst is over and maybe just a few showers throughout the day is all we have to contend with. We did receive 15mm (+1/2 in ) of rain overnight which is perfect for the front 9 greens which we aerated yesterday. We will aerate the back 9 greens today and if the sod gods are with us the rain will stop and the sun will shine so we can complete the job today. If the rain doesn't stop today we will have to finish the job tomorrow. Either way there is the front 9 to play which should be great to play. Have fun and if all goes well we'll see you tomorrow.

Clear skies and 5c and ....no frost ( as of yet ) . We are aerating the front nine today so it will be closed until we're finished however the back nine will be open for play. The forecast is for sunny skies today so again another good day for golf. Enjoy your day and unfortunately we will be on the front nine so we won't see you out there today.

Monday, April 23, 2012

Another mild morning this morning with a band of showers moving through. They are supposed to be short lived so another great, west coast, day of golf. We are going to aerate the putting, chipping and academy greens today to warm up for the aeration of the front nine tomorrow followed by the back nine on Wednesday. If the weather is raining on Wed. we will finish up the back nine on Thurs. I hope all who were watching TV last night made it safely through the night. Enjoy your round today and we'll see you out there.

7c with no wind....what a morning. There are scattered showers in the area but all in all no real rain forecast. A typical spring day ahead. Come prepared for lots of birdies and enjoy your round. We'll see you out there.

Saturday, April 21, 2012

Only 1 degree of temperature and still dropping. There is already frost on the course and I suppose there will be for a while yet. Start times will likely be delayed this morning but once the sun clocks in for the day the frost should lift pretty quickly. Enjoy your round.

Friday, April 20, 2012

The short and sweet of it is that we're in for a sunny day (maybe even two) and there is no frost to speak of this morning. We had a hint of rain overnight - just enough to keep the greens receptive for the pin hunters out there. Shoot well and have fun.

Thursday, April 19, 2012

1c with clear skies and calm winds....at the moment we have frost on the golf course. The start time will be delayed but just for a bit ( it all depends on how clear sunrise is ).The late start means nothing to all the Canuck fans as their world is all aglow this morning. Three more wins and on to the next opponent. The rain is supposed to hold off until this afternoon so great golf for half the day then west coast golf for the rest. I also think Torres' hit on Hossa wasn't a penalty and he shouldn't be suspended and all who have played the game know that is the truth. Play well and we'll see you out there.

How lucky are we that we aren't living in Palm Springs and/or Phoenix. Their day time highs are in the mid to high 30s with no cloud cover. The horror of it all. It is good every once in a while to check out the weather in other places just to realize how good we have it here. 5c with SE winds at 25 and a light drizzle this morning with a livable high of 9c this afternoon with the winds dying down to 20 kph. No dust, no mosquitoes and limited sunscreen usage.Paradise I say, paradise. Enjoy your round today and we'll see you out there.

1c and the reason ( my thoughts only ) the frogs are  making so much noise...they are freezing there little toes off!!!! We have frost at the moment and if nothing happens the start time will be delayed. The sunny forecast for today, that was predicted yesterday, has taken somewhat of a different turn. Showers are supposed to pass over the area starting just before noon so bring an umbrella. If the rain doesn't happen then the umbrella will be good to use as a source of shade from the bright sunshine. I have been hearing stories of a multitude of birdies happening so make sure you come out and get your fair share. Have fun and we'll see you out there.

Sunday, April 15, 2012

Right now it is cloudy out and the radar shows showers in the area. The forecast is for sunny skies this morning with showers this evening...go figure. The temperature is ( I'm trying to think of something nice to say) near normal. The grass is green and the greens are fast so come out and get in a good round of golf before ( I'm still still trying ) the showers start this week. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Saturday, April 14, 2012

Another glorious day to hit a ball around a lot of striped grass. We got lucky with the frost yesterday morning and should do so again today. The greens are fast and smooth, just waiting for some birdies. There's nothing but sunshine forecast for the day, so come on out and enjoy the great course conditions. Have a great round.

Friday, April 13, 2012

Like yesterday it's a bit chilly out there this morning. The dew is threatening to turn to frost, but if it happens it shouldn't be long before it turns right back. After that there'll be plenty of sunshine in the afternoon today and tomorrow. Enjoy your round.

Thursday, April 12, 2012

To all the Canuck fanatics ( that's the long term for fan ), don't worry, its only one game. They'll be better Fri.. Luongo looked good in the first. 2c this morning with no frost at the present but it could cool a bit before sunrise which could bring the frost on. If so it won't last long, and it is still an 'if '. Mostly sunny today so bring out the sunscreen with your shorts. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

Again, another nice morning. 6c, calm. The start will be on time. I am still finding divots, that I need help carrying to put back, so please remind the players in your group to please replace the divots, please then cover with a bit of sand, please. The course will love you for it. Enjoy your round and we'll see you out there.

Tuesday, April 10, 2012

This is getting monotonous, aaanother nice start to the morning. 6c with a slight breeze. The start will be on time. Spring is officially here, the frogs have been croaking all night so no more snow for the year, bring out the shorts. The greens are fast so plan accordingly, you might have to restock the birdie juice at the turn. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Monday, April 9, 2012

A balmy 5c this morning with cloudy skies. No frost this morning so get here early. Come out and wear off  the results of all the extra chocolate that stupid little rabbit left laying around everywhere. There aught to be a law against that. Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

Sunday, April 8, 2012

0c...I see the full moon was on Fri. night but it still looks big and bold out there. The full moon 'crazies' ( my term ) should be past and everyone and everything should be back to normal. No seeing bunnies with baskets of chocolate or any other weird stuff today. The start time was around 8:45 Sat. so that will be a good time to plan a start but as we all know the frost dictates the actual time. Just put an ish behind the time and it will be close. We are getting some grass cut so the conditions are getting more summer like unlike the temperatures we're experiencing. One of these days the heat is going to hit, then watch out, the winter clothes will hit the storage bins with such a thud we'll think there's been an earthquake. Enjoy your Easter Sunday and we hope to see you out here. ( was that the Easter Bunny hopping by??)

Saturday, April 7, 2012

Aaaaaand once again we're off to a frosty start. Conditions are very similar to yesterday when we got the mowers going about 8:45. I'd expect about the same this morning, and then it's off to watch Fred Couples show the young guys how it's done at Augusta. Enjoy your day.

Thursday, April 5, 2012

0c.. clear skies..an annoying robin chirping outside the window. It is sitting outside the window because it is too cold for its teensey weensey little feet if it stood in the grass( frost ) like it's supposed to. I think they came back too early this year. It's going to be a beautiful day today with sunny skies and light wind. Golf at it's finest on April 5th. We'll see you out there.

Wednesday, April 4, 2012

Star light star bright the first star....how the heck does that stupid thing go. -2c . We all know what that means. The start will be delayed this morning. The good news is that the ground should be warm enough so the greens don't freeze therefore when the frost does go we can get right on regular greens.( 9:00ish ??) That is a sure sign of spring. Sunscreen is the word of the day. Bring lots and use often. Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

Tuesday, April 3, 2012

6c with a light breeze...and a wee bit o drizzle...after the last two days that sounds like a decent start to the day. We've had 20mm of rain over the last 24 hours so there might be some puddles on the course but all in all the conditions could be a lot worse. The greens are still rolling good so birdies are abundant. The gale that blew yesterday has passed over so alas the added challenge of playing in the wind is also gone. There are just showers forecast for the rest of the week so bring sunscreen for the sunny periods and enjoy your round(s).

Monday, April 2, 2012

How hard is the wind going to blow? The wind warning is only supposed to last until mid morning so not so bad a day ahead . The rainfall amounts that are now forecast are quite a bit less than was forecast yesterday so who knows maybe we won't see any rain at all. The 5'' of snow we had yesterday is almost all gone with just a bit left in the shaded areas. The start will be on time this morning with regular greens in play. Enjoy your round and we'll see you out there.

Wow that is either the best, or the worst and meanest April fools trick yet and I'm not sure which . What a surprise this morning. If like all April fools jokes the Tom foolery stops at noon we should see some golfing this afternoon but this is the best or is it the worst joke to date so we'll have to wait a bit to see the outcome. With the forecast high for 8c this afternoon we should see the snow melt away fairly quickly. Be carefull of the jokers this morning and hopefully we'll see you out here this afternoon. What is it, the best or worst??? I still can't tell as I've both laughed and cursed. That's a good one.
