Update on frost conditions: still some frost on shaded areas and a few greens are still frozen. Hoping for a 10:00am start. 

Saturday

The clouds have moved on and the frost has settled in. Plenty of time for an extra coffee or two as the start time will be pushed back by a bit. Think warm thoughts, please.

Well, after an inch of rain there are puddles here and there to contend with this morning, said Captain Obvious. They're disappearing by the minute, though, so don't be too dismayed. The sun is returning later on and the next few days look pretty good. Who says the west coast isn't the best coast?

6c and cloudy...another nice morning. .we will start on time...the showers aren't supposed to roll in until later this afternoon and the chance they will amount to anything is low...all next week is sunshine..in like a lamb? ...just asking. .

Cloudy and no frost...another great morning for golf on the west coast..we will be starting on time and,  for the first time in recent memory, on  fresh cut fairways in February. Our friends and family to the east of us might not be as happy with our situation as we are but...such is life. Play well.

Update

The cloud cover warmed us up...the frost is gone...we are open

Tuesday

We have frost...10:00ish is our target start time...the rain that was forecast has been pushed back to the end of the week...let's see how that works out...sunscreen. .

Monday

It looks like an exact repeat of yesterday, maybe a degree warmer. .the start will be close to 10:00, then nothing but sunshine and a high of 10c...we'll take it.

-1c feels like -1c...I know what the weather network is getting at when they write that in but really? in the home country where it's-31 with a light breeze and it feels like -43 that's an important bit of information, -1 and feels like -1? not so much...what is important here is that we have frost and the start to your day of golf will be delayed...we got going just before 10:00 yesterday so I'm guessing we won't start earlier today...the sun will be shining. .sunscreen? ..

FROST! At least that means the sun is shining. I guess how bright and strong said sun shines will determine the start time this morning; I'm going to guess 9:30 while stressing the word guess. See you asap.

It's a bit chilly this morning but the remnants of yesterday's clouds have kept the frost at bay. It looks like the start will be on time and the sun will be coming along shortly. Have a great round.

My my my, how fast a weather forecast can change. ..it's supposed to rain today...where did that come from? ...we have frost at the moment so the clouds haven't been around for long...the best guess for today's start time will be near yesterday's guess of a slight delay...how's that for clarity and precision? ...bring an umbrella.

It's cloudy at present but we do have a touch of frost so a slight delay should be expected..the long range forecast changed to nothing but sun for the next 2 weeks which is a bit different than yesterday's forecast..trending in the right direction I'd say...has anyone contacted friends or family back east and complained to them that allergy season has started already with the flowers blooming and all...if not maybe do so, they need cheering up

Tuesday

Another clear frosty morning. ...the fog rolled in yesterday and melted the frost by 9:30 but I'm not so sure if that's going to happen today. ..aim for a 10:00ish start and you won't be far off the mark no matter what mother nature brings...

Monday

I experienced some technical difficulties yesterday, hence no blog,  but today everything is back to normal...there was no need for the snide remarks about that, thank you very much..at present the frost has settled in, now it looks like there might be some cloud cover coming in so that could be good news (if it warms up enough to melt said frost)or it could be bad news (if it blocks the sun from melting, again, said frost). Ooohhh what scenario is it going to be? Exciting stuff...If you start milling about the pro shop in that 9:30ish range the wait shouldn't be too long to get going...maybe...

I've had my eye open for rain this morning and there isn't a drop to be found. Let it continue...
See you out there.

After another 1/2" of rain it looks like the sun is coming out...later. Like, tomorrow. Some more showers are expected today but at least the start will be on time. Enjoy your round.

Thursday, February 12, 2015

MAKE IT STOP! !!!..it's raining again. ..showers for the rest of the day...enjoy your round and if you go around twice today you should definitely phone the crisis hot line because you do have a problem!

The satellite image is showing that it should be raining and it's not... is it good luck or some twilight zone mumbo jumbo? ??...anyway, the start will be on time.. as for the rain,  let's just see how long our luck holds up (personally, I don't believe in that twilight zone malarkey( much) ( maybe just a little). Play well.

It looks like the deluge is over...100+mm since Thursday...that's enough already...sunshine this afternoon so maybe this is a golf day after all...the start will be on time...  we'll see you out there.

Monday

Some overnight showers have kept the course from drying out too much thankfully, we wouldn't want that now would we...the start will be on time...the rain forecast for today looks spotty so you never know, it could miss us...then again? ??..at least it's warm.

Wasn't that just a  'special' weekend...and don't say we needed the rain because we didn't. ..75+mm and showers lingering until Tuesday..yeahhh ..  I guess the good news is that there isn't any frost so you can start on time...it's dampish so come prepared.

Another 1/2" of the wet stuff didn't exactly help the golfer's cause. The Glen will need some time to drain before it opens for play. The Pines, however, is looking very good with just the odd puddle to dodge. We'll see you back there.

Friday

WARNING: Well over 2" of rain in the past two days MAY reduce distance off the tee. Instead of counting on lots of roll you'll just have to swing harder and carry the wet spots. Don't worry, it can't last forever. See you out there?

I've heard it all now...'a long episode of rain, at times heavy'. I can picture a prim and proper Englishman with a bowler hat and walking stick or even some of the elder royals (like I know my elder royals) saying that but who in Canada would write such drivel..'a long episode of rain, at times heavy'...they mock us...'bah humbug'.

Mild this morning so another day with the start on time...a wonderful winter I'd say..it's supposed to be wet for the next few days. ..oh well, rain forest and all that... enjoy today's golf

Another mild morning is upon us so the start will be on time...the forecast for the rest of the week is dampish to put it mildly..today will be the dry day until maybe Monday. ..sneek another round in before the deluge. ..play well

Kelly

Monday, February 2, 2015

Monday

A bit of a breeze out of the east and the threat of some rain over the next hour or so...not a bad start to the day I'd say...at least the start will be on time...whatever you do don't look at the forecast for the rest of the week...how does someone come up with an 80% chance of 150mm over 4 days.?..seems like an odd set of numbers. ..probably just me..hope I didn't ruin the surprise.

Sunday

Another mild morning ahead and it looks like the rain that was forecast has already passed us by. The start will be on time so there's another great day on the course coming up.
