Tuesday

What the? ?? It is white out here. Old Jack showed up last night the bum! The start should still be close to on time if the sun does its normal thing. Not to hot of a day forthcoming thankfully, we wouldn't want that at this time of year, nasty. Have a great round today. There is a rumor going around that the course is playing easy as the birdies are falling. Ladies! We'll see you out there.

Monday

What a pleasant start to the day..a little shower overnight (5mm) to keep the dust down and a nice breeze (NW20 -gusts to 40) to keep the mosquitoes away and a moderate temperature (4c) so we won't get overheated too early...another bonus is that the start will be on time. I just happened to notice that there is a snowfall warning for southern Saskatchewan for tonight and tomorrow so if you know anyone back there you might want to contact them to let them know that they aren't the only ones who are having a rough spring. They are always happy to hear kind wishes from us on the wet coast. Play well and we'll see you out there.

It's a bit cool this morning and as of yet still no frost so it looks like a go for the start time. There are just a few days left in April so it won't be long now until Jack  Frost will be just a bad memory and the new worry will be heatstroke. Right! ?!.Have a great round and we'll see you out there.

Another beautiful morning at the golf course. The "light shower" that was called for is currently nothing but a dark cloud. Let's hope it stays that way. In other (good) news, the course is frost-free and the start will be on time. Enjoy your round.

Friday, April 26, 2013

As if to tease us about the possibility of frost, the largest moon a guy ever did see shined its light on some very cold blades of grass this morning. However, the threat was idle and it looks like we'll be starting on time this morning. Play well and enjoy your day.

Thursday

It's funny (not laughing funny, weird funny)that just a wee bit of cloud cover can keep enough heat in to keep Jack, the 5 letter f word, away. The start will be on time today, hallelujah brother. Bring sunscreen again it will be needed.  Play fair and we'll see you out there.

Wednesday

A brilliant almost (tomorrow) full moon lights up the course this morning and the frost is sparkling like a field of diamonds...it would be almost awe inspiring except it is frost and there will be a delay in the start time. ..d__n frost, d__n almost full moon . 8:30 will be a good target for a start time this morning, poor robins eating frozen worms. With the sun out all day a slather of sunscreen before heading out might be a good idea. Play nice and we'll see you out there..did I mention we have frost? D__n frost!

Tuesday

Another frosty morning to greet us but there is some cloud cover moving in (temporary) so it(frost) might not last too long. The start will be close to on time. The forecast for today is a carbon copy of yesterday so that won't be too hard to take. We have to remember that there is still a full week of April left yet so we (me) can't get impatient with the lack of heat. Play well, have fun and we'll see you out there.

Monday

The robins are complaining loudly this morning, all the worms are frozen. The thermometer is at 0c and the course is white. Now you can phone/email your friends on the prairies and tell them we have it rough out here too. The start might be delayed a bit, it all depends on how fast the sun warms up (wow is that insight or what). Bring sunscreen today, your going to need it. Hit it straight and we'll see you out there.

Sunday

Another fine day ahead and a fine week ahead as well. If my memory serves me correct (no jokes please) this April has been a tad drier and a tad warmer than normal and the course is all the better for it. With the warmth over the next week our spring aeration will soon be a bad memory and there will be no more excuses for sloppy putting. Have fun today and we'll see you out there.

Saturday, April 20, 2013

A few isolated showers are called for today but so far there isn't a hint of them. Let's hope it stays that way and that we get another taste of the great weather to come as we did yesterday afternoon. It should be a great week for golf. Bend your knees, keep your head down and swing for the fences.

Friday, April 19, 2013

Any fair weather golfers waiting for the skies to clear have only one, maybe two days to go until sunglasses and sandals are the order of the day. To the rest of you who don't mind a raindrop or two, we'll see you on the course. Enjoy your round.

Thursday

We got just enough rain overnight to keep that darn dust down, thankfully...darn dust...what is that saying about April showers? Did anyone see the forecast for next week? Sun, sun, sun. Get ready! Play well and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Wednesday, April 17, 2013

Wednesday

Cloudy and kind of warm to start with. ..the Glen is open to start and the Pines will be open before lunch today so all in all a fairly quick aeration...don't be too hard on yourself if you miss a putt or two for the next couple of days but after that you can revert back to self loathing on any missed shot...have fun .

Tuesday

Another clear cool morning greets us...the sun is going to shine bright today which is good because we are aerating the greens today..the Glen will be closed this morning while we poke holes in greens and as the forecast is for rain tomorrow afternoon we will start on the Pines when we are finished with the Glen. .it's a shame that we have to mess up our greens but it is a necessary practise. In a week or so we won't even notice the intrusion. Have fun today.

Monday

There is just enough cloud cover to keep the frost away so the start should be on time...a great golf day ahead with a slight breeze to keep the heat from being too oppressive. We will start aerating tomorrow so get out today and get your birdies on sandfree greens. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to Assistant Golf Professional, Adam Haddad!! Hope you have a great Masters Sunday.

Sunday

1c with frost in spots...The robins are exceptionally loud this morning and that makes me wonder if they are all complaining about how cold it is too...stupid cold...dress warm if you are teeing it up this morning...the frost might be a small problem for the early birds, it all depends on the clarity of the sunrise. Play well and we'll see you out there.

We just avoided frost yesterday and it looks we'll be able to do the same today (as long as a few clouds hang around). With only a few isolated showers in the forecast this is a great time to get in a round as we'll be aerating the greens next week. Of course, you may be home all day cheering on Fred Couples and we wouldn't blame you for that.

Friday, April 12, 2013

The rain we were supposed to be having by now is strangely invisible and maybe even nonexistent. In fact the stars are out and we're bordering on frost at the moment. I'm not quite sure what to believe about today's forecast. I'm reading that some light rain is on its way, so any frost delay we may have should be brief; however, the radar shows no sign of precipitation in this area for at least a few hours (?!). Either way, dress warmly to start and we'll see what happens. Enjoy your round.

Thursday, April 11, 2013

Thursday

A gentle breeze ,with no rain, greets us this morning. ..now that is a good way to start the day...no mosquitos to bother anyone as well as no umbrellas to distract from the serious undertaking ahead...the pins will all be in easy spots today (as usual, boring) and the sun will shine which is a great combination for the taking of birdies (stock up ladies)...have fun today and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Wednesday

The pitter patter of raindrops on the roof accompanied by the occasional gust of a gentle breeze...these are a couple of things you'll notice when you first wake this morning...then the temptation of getting back into bed hits..will you or won't you? ..it will be sunny this afternoon. .we will see who is obsessed (actually we already know)

Tuesday

According to Environment Canada we are getting rained on right now..according to looking out the door we are dry as a bone...I'll take looking out the door as the best guess about the weather for now..again the good news is that there is no frost so the start will be on time..have fun today and we'll see you out there.

Monday

Is this the first day that we have no frost when the sky is clear all night? We'll have to wait and see on that but if there happens to be some frost it won't last too long..a bright sunny day ahead so 'get while the gettin's good' so the saying goes. There are rumors that the course is playing easy as the birdies are falling. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Kelly

Sunday, April 7, 2013

Sunday

3c with showers (no snow yet)...the good news is that there is no frost to delay our start to a beautiful day. There has been just enough rain over the last couple of days to keep the dust down thankfully, it was getting hard on anyone with allergies.  Just some clouds to deal with later this morning so more good news, you can leave your sunscreen at home. Hit 'em straight and we'll see you out there.

About a third of an inch of that wet stuff fell from the sky yesterday. I think it's called "rain"? It's been a while since we've seen it so I suppose we were due for a shower. There will be just a little bit more today but nothing to prevent the committed from playing a round. Enjoy your round.

Club Fitting

We now have all of our fitting equipment in stock. Whether you are looking for a new set of irons, fairway woods, putter or driver we can fit you. Stop by and ask one of our Professionals on staff for a personal fitting.

Greens Aeration

We have scheduled greens aeration for the Glen nine Tuesday, April 16th and the Pines nine Wednesday, April 17th. The only thing that will stop us is rain. Please mark this in your calendars.

Thursday

Another frost free morning. ..this is becoming a common theme and who knows we might not have to use the f word again until the fall. All is well in golf land so come out and enjoy a round. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Wednesday

Another mild overcast morning (frost free) and the course is awaiting your arrival. I had the pleasure of playing nine holes yesterday afternoon and one of my playing partners who is much to modest to be mentioned (G.M.) shot a sweet 29, yes 29 , 7 birdies in 9 holes and made it look easy. I thought all the comments from everyone, that the pin positions were too easy was a gross exaggeration but I guess not. We'll have to fix that. 7 birdies in 9 holes..ladies, just think of the birdie juice needed for that..mind boggling or is that mind numbing..have fun and we'll see you out there.  29 wow.

9c and overcast...yeaaaaah! !! no frost....life is good. Welcome back ladies club..this is a sure sign of spring...the birdie juice will be flowing today as the course is dry and fast. Have fun and we'll see you out there.

Monday

It seems a tad cooler this morning than yesterday morning. ..there is frost so a delay of the first tee time is inevitable. ..we got going around 9:00ish yesterday so planning for that time again won't be too far wrong. The first part of this week looks like an extension of the weekend (darn) then back to normal by Friday. Get out and take advantage of the great conditions we're experiencing then in years to come we can look back and reference this year as a benchmark for spectacular springs. Play well and we'll see you out there.
