0c and foggy...really foggy. There is no frost at present so the start should be on time. All bets are off though, if the fog lifts and the sky is clear. It looks like another week of sunshine ahead, just like the week of sunshine we experienced last week. Gee all this sunshine is sure hard on the eyes...don't laugh, we must of had at least 4 hours of sunshine last week. I know it's bad when the guys I golf with are getting excited when the clouds just thin a bit. Have fun at whatever you do today. Did I mention that it is really foggy?

The good news...all greens are open on the Glen and ( actually 2 good news or is that newses, Whoa! ) there is no frost so the start will be on time. The Pines is a bit stubborn but we might see some movement today. To the optimists around, the last week might of been winter and spring could be a bit early and upon us now. I'm alright with that. Lets go optimists. Play well and even if you don't, have fun. We'll see you out there.

Canada Day scramble

Look at all the red!!! Canada Day scramble yesterday was a huge success. 72 players came out to enjoy the sunshine and a great golf course. Gerry Gessler was the big winner in the putting contest grabbing the $180 first prize and the winning team shooting 61 was Brian and Chris Zamisky, Catherine Morris and Dennis Finnan.

Bring your sun screen when you come to the course today as the forecast is for sunny skies. The next couple of days might be the last comfortable days of golf for the season. Hot weather is expected for later in the week and then who knows, summer could be here. Play well today.

Some more west coast sunshine today. Just showers forecast so we could be lucky and not see anything. The accumulations for yesterday and overnight were just over .33 of an inch (8.25mm) so the course is just a tad wet in spots. It will still be a good day for a round of golf. Enjoy yourself and we'll see you out there.

What the heck was that??!!?? An inch ( 25mm ) of rain overnight??!!?? Someone thinks that just because the Canucks are still playing hockey it must be the middle of winter, so let it rain. We have standing water this morning and how fast it disappears will depend on how much rain we get during the rest of today. The greens are still good so if we don't get any more heavy rain the course will play a bit long but still playable. Enjoy whatever you do today.

3c and light rain...a common occurrence in winter...not to common in the middle of May. Clean living I guess, yes we are just lucky because of clean living. It is supposed to be somewhat sunny today so pack up your sticks and come out and play a round. The fresh air will do you good. See you out there.

So far so good with the rain. Nothing yet. Maybe we'll go the whole day again, without any rain. The Callaway fitting van was here yesterday but I didn't see too many people trying the latest products. These are good opportunities to try out the newest clubs so don't be shy about using the expertise of the company reps to keep up to date on the tools of our favorite game. I think the Ping van is here today ( check with the pro shop ). Enjoy your day.

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there. We have ordered a nice sunny day for you so come out and enjoy a round of golf. All Canuck fans need a break from the tensions of playoff hockey and the serenity of the golf course will provide some respite from said tensions. ( a win would also work ) Have a great day and I'll see you out there.

Can it be ??? A clear night and no frost? This could be the true sign of summer. We will see as daybreak arrives. The cold weather has kept the growth of the grass to a snails pace and that is why the greens haven't totally healed from aeration as of yet and the fairways slow to recover as well. What we need is warm temperatures (+10c) overnight to achieve good growth. I guess mother nature marches to the beat of her own drum and we just follow along. Enjoy your day.

One of these days I won't pass along the forecast for the weather because summer will be here and there will be nothing but good weather, but not today. Just kidding....today is going to be a great day for golf, sunny and not too hot. It sounds like the same percentage of people vote as those who fix ball marks, replace divots and rake bunkers. Funny how that works. Enjoy your day and see you out there.

There are showers passing through the area this morning and the afternoon is supposed to be a little drier. Due to the cloud cover we will start on time this morning ( no frost ) . The presence of ball marks on the greens is down considerably from aerations past so a big thanks to everyone for a great job in repairing said marks and keep up the good work. Enjoy your day. See you out there.

Clear and cold.....frost. There will likely be a delay in the start this morning, but the sun is going to shine so it shouldn't be too long. This should allow a bit more rest for those who stayed up late watching the hockey game. The rest of the week is the same as last week, showers etc., enjoy the sunshine when you can. 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.

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.

Wednesday, April 20, 2011

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.

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.

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.
