Sunday

4c and clear..much the same as the last few days and the last few days we have had frost...just a short period of inconvenience but frost nonetheless. ..the start time this morning may be delayed a tad...but that is a small price to pay for a clear sunny morning. The course is dry and the greens are firm and fast...if that last statement doesn't get your golfing mojo going you may as well hang up your favorite spikeless golf shoes and take up knitting. Get out and enjoy the sun and we'll see you out there.

We're at the same temperature as yesterday but the frost got a bit of a head start this morning. We were able to get started just before 9:00 yesterday, so I'm guessing today's start will be closer to 9:30 or so. It's going to be another beautiful day to hit the ball around the course later on, though. One of those "toque and then a t-shirt" days. Enjoy the great conditions.

To start the long weekend we have only 2 degrees (and dropping). Of course, that means the frost is settling in. Fortunately, there aren't many clouds about, so once the sun comes up the melt should happen pretty quickly. I don't expect much of a delay in start times but I've said that before and had to eat my words.

The mowers have been out in force for a couple of days and the course is looking and playing great.  Come on out and make the most of the holiday. Enjoy your game.

Thursday

Another great morning to wake up to...6c and overcast...there is no frost and the start will be on time. I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend, the forecast is sunny and warm for the whole time. Play well and often. We'll see you out there.

Wednesday

2c, a full moon, frogs croaking and of course a touch of frost. What a great morning! Well almost great, call it a good morning (there is the frost issue). The start may, yes may, be delayed a bit and other than that, full bore ahead. The greens are firming up and the grass is getting cut, what more can a golfer ask for? Hit it far. We'll see you out there.

Tuesday

It's a little warmer this morning than yesterday morning and to make it feel real spring like the frogs are croaking up a storm. We have a couple of projects to finish off today then we will start cutting the course tomorrow and I know everyone missed the drone of the mowers working. The start will be on time today. Putt well and we'll see you out there.

Monday

4c and overcast...warm by the standards for the rest of Canada...here in paradise? not so much...the day is supposed to warm up to double digits so again, a great day for golf...at present  there is no frost...we are changing the pin positions today so there are new challenges for birdies which I know everyone is looking forward to (the course was playing too easy). Enjoy all the new birdies and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Sunday

3c and overcast...there are a couple of ways of looking at that. One, it is cold with no hope for a warm spring morning so what's on tv or, two, yeehah no frost this morning get out of my way I'm headed to the  first tee..you choose. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

With the temperature just a bit below zero we start the morning with frost. My guess for the first start time is somewhere between 9:00 and 9:41 PST. Let's hope the sun comes out with an early vengeance and proves me wrong. Enjoy your round.

Long story short: below zero, snow on the ground. Definitely a morning to practice putting on the carpet of your warm living room. It's hard to say when we'll see green grass today but I recommend calling the pro shop no earlier than 10:30 for an update. Be careful on the roads this morning!

Thursday

Another clear morning and yes there is a bit of frost here...there is no rain forecast so again another great day for golf...if you plan for your warm up to start around 9:30 your start shouldn't be delayed too long...the rest of the week looks good so three more rounds this week should be attainable...play hard and we'll see you out there...

Kelly
PS..I saw a couple of divots out of the putting green the other day and my second thought was...really! !!!..please if you see someone taking divots on the putting or for that matter any green please let us know and please be careful in approaching or keeping company with said person as they have serious issues. The putting green? ????

Wednesday

So this is Spring...fairly warm, a drying breeze, are we in the tropics?...reality check...the drying breeze is supposed to switch from the S.E. to the west and maybe intensify a tad around noon. We received 18mm of rain overnight and still a bit to come before this system blows through so it will be a bit damp for your round today. ..if you time it right the wind will be behind you on the first few holes and when you get to 9 on the Glen it will of switched to be behind you for the next 4 holes as well...let me know if that works out for you. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Tuesday

Well another clear and frosty morning awaits... there is a wind warning for this evening in place so baton down the hatches. We should get going around 10:00ish today so that will leave plenty of time for a round before the inclement weather hits. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Monday

It's one of those mornings....if the temperature drops any, we could get frost. The good news is that if frost does appear it won't last long. Sunny with a slight breeze is the forecast so again winter golf, in Canada, at it's best. In the fairway off the tee ..green in regulation..two putt...easy game. We'll see you out there.

Kelly

Sunday

There is a good frost this morning...clear sky and -1c...a one hour delay is likely today...the wait will be worth it as the sun is supposed to shine most of the day...there is less than a week to go before the official start to spring so get out and get a round in today then phone someone on the prairies and brag about the winter golf...they like that. Drive it straight and putt true. We'll see you out there.

Kelly

You may not believe me if you weren't here to see it, but yesterday we had a brief window of summer heat in the afternoon. Well, spring heat. It seems odd to say that considering it's almost cold enough for frost this morning. However, I think we'll most likely start on time and have only a few showers to deal with later today. All in all, not a bad day for golf. Enjoy your round.

Let's hope yesterday's half-inch+ of rain was all we'll get for the time being. It makes the greens pretty receptive and all but working (and golfing) in rain gear loses its appeal rather quickly. They're calling for only the odd shower today, so we'll see you out there once the fog is done with us. Enjoy your game.

Thursday

Another 8c morning. ...we had a trace of rain overnight so there are no worries about becoming too dry out there...it might be a liquid sunshine day so dress accordingly. ...I happened to overhear a conversation yesterday and the theme was birdies and the ease in getting them....the foursome was laughing a lot....do they know something we don't? ...We'll see you out there.

Kelly

Wednesday

Wow, what a miss. Yesterday's rainfall warning of 50-80mm amounted to only 19mm. I guess the byproduct of the storm system (8c this morning) is good enough compensation for having to deal with the aforementioned miss. The rest of today is going (supposed) to be nice so enjoy your round and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Tuesday

A heavy rainfall warning has been posted for between Parksville and Comox....50mm-80mm for today and tonight. ...serious. ...we've got 15mm so far....cribbage anyone? ...stay dry.

Kelly

Monday

3c and partially overcast.  That is the worst scenario possible to predict if there will be frost this morning. If the temperature drops a degree, boom, frost. If the temperature stays the same but the sky clears, boom, frost. If everything stays the same and M.N. is cranky, boom, frost. The suspense is almost too much to take. It looks like we won't have any suspense around hear after today as the forecast is for a bit of precipitation for the rest of the week so get out today for a dry round. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Sunday

Why is the best sleep always after the alarm goes off...weird. 4c and overcast is what greets us this morning. There shouldn't be a delay to the start this morning unless you forgot to turn your clock ahead last night. If so you will only be an hour late for your tee time. It looks like the rain is going to start tomorrow so if you like to stay dry while golfing today will be a good day to partake in your passion, hobby, addiction (choose one). Hit it straight and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

It's really not fair that a day forecasted to be 9 degrees and sunny has started out as minus 2 and sunny. As far as frosty days in March go this is a doozy. I wouldn't plan on warming up any time before 9:00, or even 10:00, or...ugh. Anyway, it'll be a while. Eventually, though, it should be nice out there, so enjoy it when it happens.

Thursday

Wow another frost free morning, how lucky can we get? Just a bit of westcoast sunshine to start the day. Our plan to make the course harder by dasterdly pin placements has failed miserably as there are rumors of more overall birdies yesterday than the day before. The course is just too nice to everyone. Come out and get your share of birdies and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Not a bad morning at all here at the course. A bit of dew, a bit of fog, but no frost. Not only will the start be on time, the sun is supposed to peek out in the morning and possibly hang around for the entire afternoon. Don't quote me on that (unless it happens). Enjoy your round.

Wednesday

3c and overcast...yeah no frost to delay everyone. What a wonderful start to the day. We are going to change the holes today. There was a rumor floating around Monday afternoon that someone (DB) shot a 65 from the blue tees. Bravo on a good round but now everyone gets punished on that the holes are going to be in dastardly places (mostly on the green). Ed is away for a bit so you can't blame him for the hole placements. Aahh but who doesn't love a challenge? Hit 'em close (if you can) and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Tuesday

0c, overcast with a bit of a west wind...sounds good so far(if you live on the prairies). I think layers is the term when dressing today. Birdies don't care about the weather so get out here and get some. Just ignore the rain..it's going to be light at worst and most likely miss us as usual. Oh yeah we have frost at the moment so if the rain does hold off we could have a delay to the start. We got going around 10:00 yesterday which would be a good target for today as well. Busy busy busy. Hit it straight and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Monday

-2c..that is twice as cold as it was yesterday morning (which other than useless information, means nothing). There is a bit of cloud cover which could affect how fast the frost comes off. If you plan to start your warm up after 9:30 you won't be delayed, in your golf adventure, too long. The forecast is for a sunny day so bring your dark glasses. Putt well and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Sunday

It's a beautiful clear morning at the course today and we all know what that means...we have frost so the start will be delayed somewhat...if the sun stays out we should be going around 9:30ish...Drive it straight and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Do you ever take it for granted? I hope not.

With yesterday's rain we've had well over an inch of the stuff in 48 hours. That sounds like a lot but not much more is expected today and the course is draining well as is. The greens are receptive and inviting a few birdies, so come on out and show them how it's done. The start will definitely be on time -- we'll see the first of you at 8:30. Enjoy your game.

Congratulations to anyone who braved the elements yesterday. 2/3 inch of 'elements' fell from the sky and left behind a few puddles for today's round. Today should be a bit better with only light rain and a bit of wind in the morning. At this time of year, however, the start being on time is the thing to focus on. That and your putting. Enjoy your round.
