Frost frost frost...the forecast is for rain (light) today but so far it hasn't shown up, hence the frost. Have an extra cup this morning and wait for the rain. We will most likely get out by 10:30 (temps? ) if the rain holds off that long. Patience.

Enjoy.

Wow...a heat wave hit overnight. Isn't that just a pleasant surprise. It has cooled off a tad but still 6c which isn't too bad for this time of year. The remnants of the rain over the weekend are almost all gone so all is normal again. Golf on.

Another 1/2 " (13mm) of rain yesterday and overnight to add to the rain from the day before, 2 " (50mm). The course drains fairly well but with that volume over that short timeframe, well we're wet. Give us until 11:00 then call the proshop for an update. The driving range will be closed until 11:00 also and hopefully we'll of drained enough by then to open. How does that saying go " it never rains, but it pours"?

There are a few puddles to navigate around but the course drains off quite well, so rubber boots may be only a temporary necessity. The great news is that there is no frost! Enjoy your day.

You know it's going to be one of those days when you have to scrape your windshield in the morning. Yes we have fffrrrosssttt. Now the question is "are the greens frozen" and we won't know that until the frost lifts. Ooh the suspense! ! Have an extra cup and call the pro shop around 10:00ish.

It's raining...now that sounds good for a full course to play on this morning but it hasn't rained enough yet to thaw out the greens. We will be on temps to start the day and then, like always, put the greens in play as soon as possible. It's such a perfect day for golf too, ...2c ( feels like 0c) a SE breeze at 15kph and a touch of rain. ..beautiful.

Anootthheerr clear and cold (relatively) night...but rejoice, rain is in the forecast. Don't get too excited about golfing today until 11:00ish and then we'll be on temps. IF the sun shines we might get on the greens around 1:00ish, maybe. Rain for the rest of the week so clean your clubs and shine up your putter for we'll be golfing for real tomorrow or Wednesday for sure (there are a lot of for's in that sentence, whew! !) Patience. .it's only January 6th.

Clear, cold, frosty...three words you don't want to hear if you want to go golfing. -1c at present and I don't think there is anyone, in this whole country, that will sympathize with us about the dire circumstance we find ourselves in...can't golf? ...really! !!..enjoy your day, this 5th day of January. Who, now tell the truth, really remembers what -48 feels like?
