We had just enough rain to quell the threat of an overnight forest fire, said the exaggerating blogger. What looks to be true, though, is that today will be much drier than the next couple of days. Enjoy the last bit of our strangely dry October. Happy Halloween, ghouls and goblins.

After yesterday's very chilly start you'll be happy to know that the cloud cover has kept the frost at bay so far this morning. If things stay that way we'll get going on time and you may even be able to get in a dry 18 holes before a few light showers come through later in the day. Enjoy your round.

It's below zero here at the course this morning and it shows. It's a frosty, white wonderland out there. We got going around 9:30 yesterday but it wasn't as cold as it is this morning, so the delay will certainly be longer today. Take your time with breakfast and check back in a couple of hours for an update.

Frost

It is going to be a beautiful day once the frost lifts. We are anticipating a 9:30 start which will push tee times back about 45 minutes.

Clear and warm(ish)..what gives? ??..it looks like it's going to be a marvelous start to day...and to top it off,  there is just enough of a breeze to keep it from getting too hot. Great golfing weather for this time of year so make sure you get out and enjoy it. We'll see you out there.

Thanks to a light shower overnight we've been left without the possibility of frost. Does that mean the fog has been rained away as well? Let's hope so. Enjoy your game today.

There isn't any frost to speak of and for a while it wasn't even foggy. However, the fog has rolled in over the past twenty minutes, so the scene here should look remarkably familiar this morning. Play well and stay alert!

Fogged in this morning. ..I certainly prefer sunny and frosty over this pea soup..it was clear and cold all night then the soup moved in around 6:00ish. Be prepared for a bit of a delay in the start either to a bit of frost left or poor visibility (we wouldn't want to start hitting into the group ahead now would we). Have fun and we'll see you out there.

See yesterdays blog....today is a carbon copy of yesterday. The afternoons have been just awesome for a round of golf and nobody is out playing...weird how that is, foggy and cold in the morning the course is full...sunny and warm in the afternoon nobody around. Go figure... We'll see you out there.

Clear skies so far this morning...as we all know, that could change at any moment and the fog could roll in...BUT...in the mean time we have frost . If it stays clear we will have a delay to the start...9:30ish would be a good time to aim for to start your warm up. If it fogs over again the start should be on time and if your aunt had b___(whiskers)she'd be your uncle (an old saying from the old country (Sask.)). Confusing isn't it .We'll see you out there.

It's sunny and 15c with a slight breeze....above the fog...here at ground level it's pea soup again...good news...no frost..my high intensity light is working overtime that's why I'm in such a good mood these (dark dreary ) days. Play well and if we're close enough we'll see you out there.

There is a bit of a breeze trying to keep the fog from dropping right down...the good news is that there is no frost and it's up to mother nature to decide whether we can see the whole course today or not. Hit it down the middle and (maybe) we'll see you out there.

If I could see anything through the fog I'd know whether or not we have frost. Thankfully, it's mild enough that we can safely assume we're frost free. Visibility, however, is another issue. I never thought I'd say this, but "golf safely"!

Friday, October 18, 2013

Fog update

We have visibility up to 150 yards. Course is open. Good luck!

Weather delay

The fog has rolled in heavier then yesterday. Currently we cannot see the putting green from the Gol Shop. For golfer safety the course will remain closed until visibility improves. We will update again at 9:00am. 

Thank you for your patience. 

Friday

It feels odd to hope for clouds but that's what we're doing this morning. It is quite frosty out there and it will likely hang around long enough to force a delay in start times. Everyone think warm thoughts and we'll see you out there as soon as we're able to.

Rock paper scissors

Have you ever played rock paper scissors?  In golf terms fog beats frost..the fog rolled in and chased the frost away...we are open

Thursday

If it's a clear bright full moon at this time of year there usually is frost and today is no exception. If I were golfing this morning, early, I'd have an extra cup of coffee...we probably won't get started until 9:30ish. The good news is that it's going to be sunny all day with above normal temperatures. My, we live in a good part of the country. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Keep up the good work to whoever's in charge of ordering up the weather. Wow, sunny during the day then throwing in the cloud at night to keep J.F. away, stellar. We are continuing to poke holes in the fairways so again, patience or we might be patients. Play well and we'll see you out there.

We live in a pretty good place..there is just enough cloud cover to keep old J.F. away and the rest of the day, not quite totally sunny but almost. We will be aerating the fairways again this week so please use caution and don't hit into us unless invited to. Sometimes we can't see you so be patient with us, we should be done this week. Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

Wouldn't you know it, Mother Nature throws a bit of a wrench (about a 1/4")into the system. It's a tad colder today than it was yesterday so there will be a delay in the start time...it shouldn't be too long as the sky is clear and the sun will shine warm as soon as it clears the tree tops. The remainder of the day will be stupendous. Enjoy whatever you do today and we'll see you out there.

Well it was bound to happen...at present we have frost. Usually the first few frost events don't last too long so a delay of the start time shouldn't happen and if there is a delay, it won't be long. The really good news is that the forecast is sunny and warm for at least a week and maybe two...now we're talking! ! We'll see you out there.

It looks we'll be fortunate enough to avoid the frost issue once again. Enjoy that news but, as usual, don't quote me on it. The sun will be out for the foreseeable future, so take advantage of the great conditions and enjoy your game.

Thursday, October 10, 2013

Are you kidding me! !!...there is a narrow and I mean narrow band of rain skirting the inside edge of the Island and it's just (oops I almost said a bad word) dumping on us..it will be short lived but still! ! ..the nerve of it all...there will be sunshine later so prepare yourself. We'll see you out there.

A clear night and just before sunrise a bit of cloud rolled in to hold off the frost..for now..maybe. We will be aerating the fairways for the rest of the week so your patience is appreciated. Play well and we'll see you out there

Juusstt another beautiful morning here at the course...nothing but sunshine for the rest of the day..we will start aerating the fairways today so please be patient and wait until we are out of harms way before hitting your shots...we cannot stop our equipment, like we usually do, as it will damage the turf if it sits in one spot...another necessary inconvenience that has to be done. Lift, clean and place where you need to. Play well and we'll see you out there.

The rain is over for today and the next week is going to be nice also. Wow, with all this sunshine we might need sunscreen, ...nahhh. Play well and we'll see you out there.

It looks like another sunny day ahead and the extended looks really good as well (maybe a glitch or two). All you snow birds won't want to leave because it's sooo nice. Play well, have fun and we'll see you out there.

And the drying trend continues... No rain fell overnight and it's relatively mild out there, so we'll start the day with no frost and firmer ground. Let the pin hunt begin.

Friday, October 4, 2013

Friday

It's pretty chilly out this morning and the clouds haven't rolled in like they did yesterday, so there's a better chance of frost settling in as the sun rises. Hope for the best and expect the worse?

The course is drying out slowly after last weekend's downpour but there are still soft spots around in the usual areas. Please take care to avoid them in power carts -- a soggy lie isn't a fun lie. Play well and enjoy your round.

It's kind of clear out at the moment so as we all remember ..when it's a clear morning, at this time of year, we can expect frost...and don't think "it's not frosty at my house" because we at the golf course are in a big bowl where all the cold air comes to spend the night and we are colder than anywhere around. The good news is that the sun will shine today and the course did dry some yesterday. Have an awesome day and we'll see you out there.

It looks like the rain that was/is forecast for today has already happened...nothing but sunshine (at least no rain) for the rest of the day and into the weekend..we had 8mm of rain overnight so again there has been no appreciable drying on the course although it is still shoe friendly. We'll see you out there.

If it didn't rain we'd never appreciate the sunshine...that's what I'm going with this week...another 14mm last night so it didn't dry out too too much..play well and we'll see you out there (maybe).
