Thankfully normalcy has returned to the golf course. 0c with clear skies ....the start will be delayed because of frost. There is a front moving in so the delay shouldn't be too long. We've been starting around 10:00ish the last few days so probably the backside of that will be a better bet this morning. The forecast is for some warm temperatures coming up which will make for a nice transition for the returning snowbirds( no snow blowers, Bob ). I see that Jan. is done at the end of the week, is it just me or did it go by really fast. If this keeps up, summer will be here soon. Practice your putting this winter and lower your scores this summer, they do go hand in hand. We'll see you out there.

1c and cloudy....now don't get too excited as there is an oddity this morning. We have frost, which is rare when the skies are overcast. We must of had a period of clear skies sometime during the night in order for the frost to form or maybe we experienced a flux in the space, time, continuum ( take that on a Monday morning). Either way the start shouldn't be delayed too long. Like yesterday, 10:00ish is a good target. Play well and we'll see you out there.

-1c with the moon shining bright and a salt truck skulking around...any one of those is bad enough but all three make for a morning of lingering breakfasts and extra coffee. The start will be delayed because of frost BUT, it looks like a front coming in out of the north with showers forecast so the delay might not be too long. A 10:00ish start time won't be too far off but call ahead to make sure. We'll see you out there.

-1c with clear skies....Yes your right...we have frost . There is a front coming in later this morning bringing some rain so the delay shouldn't be too terribly long. If you call the pro shop around 10:00 we will have a better idea of the start time then. On a positive note..has everyone noticed how much longer the days have become in the last month?..no you say?, well let me tell you...we have gained 12 min. in the morning and a full 40 min. in the afternoon. With that much extra sunshine you know spring is just around the corner. Chip close and take your gimmie. We'll see you out there.

2c and raining...well?!?... the start will be on time this morning. It's been 15 days since it rained last, sigh, and I was just getting used to the dry weather, sigh. Rain doesn't bother me though, sigh, and I know a few golfers who don't mind it either, sigh, so we'll see you out here.

-1 with fog patches....yeahh*^%$......yesterday morning we had hoarfrost forming for about an hour ... we don't get to see that very often (second time in 16 years). The start will be delayed a bit this morning as we have a touch of frost but with the fog patches in the area that should melt fairly quickly. Another extended breakfast with a nap should be about right for timing the start. Have fun today.

-4c with a stars shining brightly...sounds great if your a skier, not so much if your a golfer. Go back to sleep for awhile, have an extended breakfast and read two papers this morning. Do all that and you still might have to wait to tee off. A target of 11:00ish for a start won't be too far off and whether on temps or not is up to M.N. Enjoy your leisurely morning and maybe later we'll see you here.

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.

The good news is that conditions haven't deteriorated any since yesterday, we are still moving in the right direction. I know it's not fast enough for all of us around here but Mother Nature can be a b---- (cantankorous ) at times. At present we have no frost so the start will be on time, unfortunately, we will still be on some temps. It's a start and we'll , as usual, get greens open as they thaw out. Hit 'em close and don't worry about putting.

Tuesday, January 15, 2013

A bit of an improvement in the temperature from yesterday but still not enough to thaw the greens. If the trend continues though we could see some greens opening later today. The forecast for later in the week is for above, yes above, normal temperatures and sunshine. There will be skeptics on that one. We will start on time this morning, on temps, on the Glen only. Play well and don't worry about putting, just give yourself the third one.

1c with clear skies...yes that means frost. The sun is supposed to shine all day so that should mean not too long of a delay to start the day. The rest of the week looks clear as well so at least we'll see sunshine ( a rare sight ). If you plan for a 10:30ish tee time you shouldn't be too far off either way. Play well and we'll see you out there ( we might not recognize you with sunglasses on so wave ).

Wasn't that just a special day yesterday. After all was said and done we ended up with over an inch ( 28mm ) of rain. The good news is that we didn't get any snow and the way it sounds there was snow all around us. Clean living is the key I guess, yep clean living. Today's start should be on time ( where have you heard that before ) with just a few showers in the forecast. The huge amount of water we received takes awhile to vacate the golf course so expect a few puddles on your round today. The rest of the week looks like it's going to be clear and sunny. Have fun at whatever you do today.

It's a bit breezy at the moment with showers in the forecast. Sounds like the start will be on time today UNLESS, like yesterday, the sky clears up, the temperature drops and frost comes to visit. Was yesterday an anomaly?...we shall see. The afternoons are getting longer ( already 15+ min. from Dec.21 ) and before you know it spring will be upon us. Whew that was a short winter. Play well and we'll see you out there

2c, overcast with showers in the forecast. And do you believe that the previous statement will bring joy and happiness to many people? Well you should because if you are reading this you are most likely one of them. The start will most likely be on time and the full course awaiting the birdie onslaught about to happen. Enjoy your round today and better yet bring joy to your fellow golfer ( give a 12" putt ). We'll see you out there.

-3c.. moon shining bright..There will be time this morning for a hearty breakfast, an extra cup of coffee and a nice long nap. We started on temps around 11:30 yesterday and we won't be earlier than that today. The good news is that there is rain forecast for tomorrow and the next few days so we may have full days of golf on the weekend. Has anyone seen ' The Hobbit' in 3D?...it's pretty good.

-2c with the moon trying to make an appearance ....that's not good . It is cold out there. The start time will be delayed this morning ( I hear some of you going 'Duuhh'). It looks like 11:00ish would be a good time to contact the pro shop to see if there is a guesstimate on the start. The days are noticeably longer already so things are definitely looking up. Enjoy your day.

It is snowing at present, !#$^!*&%. Take that, whoever is in charge of the snow. It might switch to rain as the day warms up or stop altogether and the sun could come out and temperatures reach a high of 20c and pigs will fly. No I'm not losing it . It just seems like it. Here is some useless information. Since the rain started in the middle of Oct. we have received over 470mm ( 18.6 in.) of rain. In that time span ( 75 days ) there have been 55 days in which we have received some rainfall and 16 of the remaining 20 days have been clouded over. On second thought I might be losing it. Have a happy New Year everyone and we'll see you all on Jan. 2, 2013.

Is there enough cloud cover this morning to keep 'old Jack Frost' at bay? Ooooohh the suspense! If he does show his ugly face later this morning it will just be in passing and shouldn't stay too long. There is not much left of 2012 so come and enjoy the last couple of days on the golf course and whatever you do don't call your friends and family back on the Continent and tell them about it. They get so defensive. Play well and we'll see you out there.

There are a few showers passing through the area which means no frost this morning . The start will be on time. If you are a morning person who likes to get your round of golf in as early as possible today might be the last opportunity for a few days. The forecast is for clear skies at least until Fri. of next week so we'll have to deal with sunshine for awhile. Maybe there is a sale on sunscreen somewhere nearby. Shine up your sunglasses and we'll see you out there.
