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.

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.

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.

It looks like a bit of precipitation for the next couple of days. Living in the protection of Mt. Aerosmith the accumulated totals are always lower than the forecasters predict. We are just lucky I guess. Hockey fans aren't noticing the weather today anyway, it's just a beautiful day for Canuck fans. Enjoy whatever you do today.

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.

Just a few scattered showers this morning. Just enough cloud cover to keep it kind of mild (?!@?). According to the long range weatherman/woman/child it is going to be a good couple of weeks to watch the playoffs. Maybe the weather will warm up the same time as the Canucks do. Remember everyday is a good day to golf. See you out there.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
