The sun's immaculate timing has put us back on schedule after a frosty morning. No delays today - just sunshine. Enjoy the day.

It's a familiar scene out there: clear skies and a bit chilly. The temperature will drop some more before the day begins, so we can expect a bit of frost. With any luck, though, it will melt off by 7:29 like it did yesterday, getting the first groups out on time. Have fun

The frost has come and gone, so no delay on start times at all. Come on out and enjoy the sun.

Clear skies and hardly any frost? Come on. Next you're going to tell me the Canucks are up 1-0 in the second round of the playoffs.
Alright, we shouldn't get too carried away just yet. There are seven games to a series, after all, and it is pretty chilly on the course. In the spirit of winning, however, let's assume we will start on time today. Nothing but sunshine for the next couple of days, so we're free to enjoy golf during the day and hockey at night. 'Tis the season for sports fans.

Another morning with showers in the area. It looks better for the afternoon. What are we going to do with all the flowers these April showers bring. Highs of 10c today so bring sun screen and protective clothing. We will start on time this morning. See you out there.

It looks like another shower filled day. Spring, go figure. At least the temperatures aren't going to be too hot so we won't wilt in the humidity. The start will be on time. Who and when do the Canucks play next? I hope it is a little more exciting than the boring series they just finished. Yawn. See you out there.

Just a bit of rain overnight, enough to keep the dust down and the frost at bay. Today looks like a few showers this morning and then sunny skies until Wed.( yeah right ). We will start on time today. What about those Canucks???? Game 7 excitement or year long remorse???? See you out there.

The very light showers forecast haven't appeared as yet so, who knows, maybe the rain will stay away. The weeks weather looks good (if you don't like warm temps). The good news this morning is that there is no frost so we will start on time. Enjoy your day. See you out there.

Sunny is up nice and high. Just starting to roll the greens. First group will tee off at 8:45. Expect a 30 minute delay, we should be caught up by 10:30

As Mark mentioned this morning, there will be a fost delay. The sun is up early which is good but it doesn't look like we will start much before 8:00am if not closer to 8:30am. The greens are healing nicely from aeration and the rest of the course has been mowed and is in great shape.

Happy Easter Weekend!!!

It's a balmy ZERO here at Pheasant Glen. However, this very cold morning will be offset by what looks to be the warmest afternoon of the year. If all predictions hold true it should be sunny and 15 degrees this afternoon, so take advantage of it while it lasts. Obviously, the ZERO means a frost delay, but at this time of year the delays aren't too long. An extra coffee and a few stretches never hurt anyone. Have fun

We had a slight frost delay today but will get going here at 8:15. So weather is mild so far and is starting to warm up, so come on out.

Given the rain we had on Tuesday the aeration went extremely well and will certainly pay off during the season. Unfortunately, we woke up to some post-aeration frost this morning. At this point it's hard to say if it will hang around long enough to delay our start, so keep in touch with the pro shop if you have an early tee time. Have fun

Yesterday didn't quite turn out as we had hoped but today is going to be just dandy. We will finish aerating today. Even though the rain held us up yesterday, the front nine will be open for play this morning. Tom Watson shot a 59 on his home course in Kansas just after the greens were aerated so there are no excuses for bad scores today. See you out there.

Junior Member Orientation

The weather looks a bit messy today, but the orientation is still on. We will cover some of the club expectations, start with an introduction on the lesson tee and then finish hitting balls. The session should last about 45 minutes.

Thanks

Chris

Clear and cold this morning....frost...delays.....what ...??? It looks like sunny weather for the next couple of days so aerating should go well. Today we will do the front nine and tomorrow we will do the back. Now we need some warm weather to accelerate the growth and get the greens back to normal. Enjoy your day and stay warm.

Good morning, all. All 18 holes will be open for the first part of the day as we aerate the practice greens and academy. Later on today we will move to the front nine. Front nine will be closed Wednesday; back nine will be closed Thursday. A temporary interruption, but one that we'll all be thankful for as the season moves on. Enjoy the day

Light Frost

Our morning "friend" is lingering around again. Should produce only a short delay today.

Just a reminder: We will be starting to punch our greens today. Tentatively, starting with the practice greens today. Nine holes tomorrow, most likely later in the afternoon/evening, and the remainder on Wednesday. For the short time these conditions last, it helps produce the magnificent greens we've been putting on all year. Enjoy them today!

Chris

Frost again!! But the sunshine is coming out soon!! Seems like it will be the same as the last couple days, around nine. So enjoy the day GO CANUCKS.

It looks to be a carbon copy of yesterday morning. Perhaps a few more clouds right off the bat, but not enough to keep the frost away. Again, somewhere around 9 o'clock (give or take __)looks to be an approximate start time. Enjoy the day.

The sun has done it's job this morning, albeit slowly. The frost is gone, we're rolling the greens now and will look to start around 9:30. Looks to be a sunny day. Enjoy Chris

Say hello to the icy Ides of April. If I told you it was even above freezing right now I'd be lying to you, and I wouldn't want to do that. Our delay will likely be at least as long as yesterday's, so I assume we won't start until at least 9 o'clock.

Half of our springtime maintenance budget has already been spent on toques and long underwear, so some cutbacks have been necessary. Please have patience with us as we cut the grass with our newly acquired fairway mowers. At least we'll be warm?

...and we're off!

After a short frost delay, the mowers have completed the first two greens and our lead group is on the tee and hitting toward the beautiful backdrop of Mt. Arrowsmith - covered in sn*w. Yes, like that other s-word golfers avoid uttering, sha*k. I won't even type either of them, not that I am superstitious - knock on wood. But I digress. C'mon out. The wind is down, the course is great, and the company...magnificent :) Canucks 1/16 (for those counting the wins until Vancouver hoists the Cup)...you know it will happen. Knock on wood. Chris

More balmy spring weather...cough.. We had a tenth of an inch of rain last night, which doesn't sound all that bad, but the skies cleared and in came the cold air. I'm sure you know what that means. Icy windshields on the way to work and frosty ground at the golf course. There will be a delay for those with early tee times; how long will depend on the big orange ball in the sky. Of course, if we're lucky(?) we may get an early shower to help us out with the frost.

Apparently, there are some light showers expected today, but don't they always tell us that and then give us bitterly cold winds instead? I don't know which scenario I prefer; what I do know is that if Gord is reading this blog it's from a sunny beach in Hawaii where today it's going to be 25 degrees with a warm breeze. ARE YOU DOING ALRIGHT OVER THERE, GORD? JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE'LL BE STARTING ON TIME TODAY. SORRY YOU'RE NOT HERE TO SEE IT.

The sky is overcast but so far there hasn't been any rain to speak of. Only a few light showers are forecast for today, so don't let those stop you. I still can't get over Sunday at the Masters, myself. Four straight birdies to win?! The countdown to the next major is ON.

The rains didn't stay away as hoped yesterday, which allowed everyone the time to watch the Masters. Quite a feat to finish with 4 straight birdies. That is something for all to strive for at the Glen. No frost so far so the start should be on time. The forecast is for a sunny day. Light winds combined with receptive greens and sunny skies, who knows, are four straight birdies waiting out there for someone? See you out there.

The rain has held off so far....can we be so lucky as to be missed altogether? Bring your umbrella just in case. We will start on time today. What is with the youngsters at the Masters, don't they know that the course has almost a religious air and is supposed to induce fear in all but the most experienced and battle hardened. Kids. Go figure. See you out there.

Congratulations to Cory McIntosh who once again won the gross par points section of the Shootout today with 33 points. Mike Wilde won the net side with 39 points and there was a tie for 1st place in the team competition. With a combined total of 142 net par points were the teams of Brian Zamisky, Dennis Finnan, Don Gordon and Tony Marsland and the team of Ed Razzell, Mike Wilde, Harold Sparrow and David Hahn. Everyone enjoyed a great day, fast greens and an awesome roast beef dinner. The next Shootout will be Saturday, September 30th. We are taking registrations already.

Today looks to be the best day for golf in the near future, with showers expected to hold off until the afternoon/evening. At 6 degrees it already feels warmer than it has for the past few days. Not much warmer, mind you, but enough that we felt compelled to mention it. The greens will be rolled seventeen seconds from now, so come on out and play before the third round of the Masters steals your attention. Have fun.

Just heading out to cut the greens. First group will be starting at 8:45am causing about a 35-40 delay first thing. We will be back on time shortly after 10:00am.

Very clear skies this morning have brought on the frost, unfortunately. I guess the early part of today will be spent admiring the view of Mt. Arrowsmith and watching yesterday's Masters highlights. I doubt the delay will be too long once the sun comes up, but keep in touch with the pro shop if you have an early tee time. Dress warmly and enjoy.

MASTERS WEEK

As our early morning members tee off onto our own beautifully cut fairways, the titanium ring is echoed among the Georgia pines of Augusta National Golf Club as the PGA Tour kicks off the 2011 Masters. This prestigious event often marks the official start to the golf season, so obviously, the weather should naturally follow suit. Here's hoping... Quote of the Day:

"After all these years, it's still embarrassing for me to play on the American golf tour. Like the time I asked my caddie for a sand wedge and he came back ten minutes later with a ham on rye." Chi Chi Rodriguez

A fresh breeze out of the west with intermittent cloud cover....a beautiful start to the day. Nothing but sunshine today....I sure hope it doesn't get too hot. We should be on time for the start today. Everyone enjoy your day and we will see you out there.

The skies are clear which will make for a beautiful sunrise. There is no frost as of yet. The day is going to be sunny so bring your sun screen along to the course. Welcome back to the men's club on their first event of the year. Enjoy your day.

A cool start to the day today. There is just enough cloud cover to keep old Jack Frost away. The forecast seems a carbon copy of yesterday, which turned out all right. Welcome back ladies on your first ladies day of the year. We will start on time if conditions remain as predicted. Bring an umbrella, just in case the sun gets too hot. See you out there.

We seem to be lucky with missing the showers that are forecast. The rest of the day is a slight chance of light rain. No rain overnight. It surprises me how dry the fairways are after the deluge of rain we received in March. We will have them all cut today. Today is the start of what should be a good week for golf. See you out there.

Clear skies and frost. A combination that leads to mixed emotions. We will be able to enjoy the sun while we wait for the frost to leave. The satellite shows a system coming out of the north west bringing some rain starting this afternoon. The weather channel says 10-15mm, lets hope they continue with their trend of 30% accuracy and the rain holds off. The start will be delayed until the sun does its work on the frost. At this time of year that is never too long. See you out there.

Congratulations to the KSS High School gofl team for their victory yesterday. The team was lead by Brayden Eriksen with a 72 and Santiago Pozo with a 73. Visiting teams and coaches were envious of our fast and smooth greens. Many of them commented that we are the first course they have played that have cut fairways. It is starting to feel like Spring!

Copied and pasted directly from theweathernetwork.com: We don't expect any precipitation from Saturday Morning to Sunday Morning Unless they're a day late with an April Fool's Day joke it should be a pretty nice day for golf. Cloudy with sunny periods turning to sunny with cloudy periods. Most of the fairways have been cut this week, with the remaining soggy spots firming up day by day. It's a bit breezy out there right now, which should help dry out the course even more. With no frost and not a single unforeseen interruption, we will start on time.

KSS School Tournament 1pm shotgun

Under cloudy skies, and damp conditions, 70 players from Island high-schools are shooting it out honours. The course has been in good spring condition with the greens rolling fast and true. It will be a good test for these dapper young apprentices. Driving Range is currently closed for maintenance and will re-open at 4pm. Putting and chipping practice is the key today. - CHRIS

Well, we had a glimpse of summer weather yesterday but it seems like it was a bit of a tease. A few showers are rolling through this morning and some more are expected throughout the day. Not much accumulation is expected, though, so it shouldn't scare off any golfers who don't mind a bit of cloud overhead while they putt out. Enjoy the day
