Just a reminder of the obvious: all of the rain we've had lately has left the course quite wet and soggy in a few spots. We'd like to ask that power carts remain on the cart paths as much as possible, and if it's necessary to be out on the grass please stick to the high ground and avoid any puddles and soft spots. Trust me, they're easy to spot and even easier to avoid.

Heh heh heh I see clear skies...all you people who were laminating the cloudy rainy wet weather rejoice, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it's the sun. Keep your sunscreen handy, you might need it within the next few days. Play well and we'll see you out there.

What the ...??? Have you ever seen the likes of this weather at this time of year? I can't remember whining so much this late in the year of course my remembery isn't as good as it once was. The guys just reminded me I was whining just as bad last June. Thanks guys. Play well and we'll see you out there.

What can I say about today (and not slip into the depths of despair), the uv rating is at the low end so there is a substantial savings on sunscreen! ?!? The rain is supposed to be light but as we all know, here at the course , showers miss us more often than not. Play well and we'll see you out there.

It is supposed to be a lot better today than it was yesterday, weather wise. I don't think a double dose of sunscreen is necessary but bring some along just the same. The greens are receptive so birdies will come easy. Come out and get your share. Have fun and we'll see you out there.

If this was a day in January or February it wouldn't be upsetting so why does a rainy morning in May cause so much angst. It couldn't be that it is the tenth day out of the last twelve that we've had rain, no not that! ?!? The silver lining is that it should stop raining in the next hour or so then sun. As a character on one of my favorite tv shows says "happy happy happy". Play well and we'll see you out there.

When you see the temperature is only 7c don't despair, it feels warmer than that...the sun is going to make an appearance today so I guess that makes for a better than average day for golf...have fun and we'll see you out there.

Isn't this weather just a peach! ?!! D__n rain forest! ! We have received just over 13mm of rain up to this point so there are a few puddles out there . It looks like the worst is over though so maybe by the afternoon? ????? Aaauuuggghhhh! !!??!! I had to let that out, I promise to be better tempered tomorrow (maybe).

The first holiday weekend of the, what would you call it, summer? didn't turn out too bad, not to much rain and not to hot. Really a perfect west coast weekend. Enjoy the last day of it as the clouds are supposed to roll in a bit later. There are still some birdies for the taking so get your share before they're all gone. Play well and we'll see you out there.

No rain in store for us and just enough cloud cover to keep the temperature from soaring too high...sounds like a perfect day for golf. The course is in good shape after the down pour we received Friday and the greens are receptive so prepare for an onslaught of birdies. ..drive it straight, hit it close, one putt, celebrate (not to many) now that's how the game should go. We'll see you out there.

No wind, cloudy and fairly mild...not a bad start to the day. The sun is supposed to peek out periodically today and the temperature not too hot (whew), all in all a great golfing day. The first long weekend of the summer is almost upon us which always prompts even the infrequent golfers to knock the dust off their clubs so make a tee time in advance to make sure you get your favorite time. The rumours are that the birdies are falling this week so get out and get your share. Putt well and we'll see you out there.

A few clouds this morning but it looks like the worst of the rain is over and then the rest of the week is good. It's not going to be too hot today so layer up and make a few birdies (ladies) to keep warm. I find it funny that as soon as 'The Mexican' gets back we get all this bad weather, not blamin' , just sayin'. Play well and we'll see you out there.

The forecast is for light rain today but when I look at the satellite photos I see a split in the clouds and it seems like it is going to pass right over us. Now that is good news for a game today but kind of bad news for the rain forest we live in. It's been dry for quite awhile and a spell of wet weather would be good for the whole area..just sayin'...have fun and we'll see you out there.

Well the good news is that there is no dust to bother us this morning and that the greens will be receptive. ..what a great day for a round of golf. Happy Mothers Day to all mothers, I hope you get to enjoy it with your family. Just a few showers forecast for today and we all know that those seldom affect us here at the course so shine up mom's clubs and we'll see you out here.

Wow time flies when your having fun, it almost feels like I missed a day. Weird. We had some unexpected visitors on the range a couple of days ago. Four Sandhill cranes touched down for a few minutes on their way north. It isn't very often we see them so it was nice we got a good view of them while they were here. Another sunscreen day ahead, oh darn. Play well and we'll see you out there.

Another mild morning awaits...this is getting monotonous, day after day, the same warm weather, maybe it should rain then things will change up. Play well, keep the sunscreen handy and have fun. We'll see you out there.

I don't want to be overly optimistic but I think spring is here...wow is it nice to get a bit of warmth overnight. Bring your umbrellas (shade) and slather lotion (sunscreen) , the next week, yes week, is going to be sunny and warm. Factor in the extra distance your ball will go because it will roll some now. Play well and we'll see you out there.

It feels like a heat wave has overtaken us...5c, whew, almost hot...if this keeps up it should be a frost free morning. ..nothing but sunshine in the forecast so the word of the weekend is slather (sunscreen ). Hit it straight. We'll see you out there.

Well well well, what do you call someone who comes for a visit and doesn't want to leave? ..Jack Frost is that something..again it is white out here. At least it warms up in the afternoon. Today's start will be delayed a bit so have another cup of whatever you start your day with and wait for the frost to leave. Afternoon golf is great this time of year. Just sayin' . Hit it straight, putt like a demon and the game is easy. We'll see you out there.
