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.

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.

Congratulations to Junior Member Brayden Eriksen for his victory yesterday in the Arbutus Ridge Mens Open. Brayden shot 2 under 68 on Saturday to take a one shot lead into Sunday's final round. After a bogey on the opening hole he settled in making two birdies and fifteen pars to shoot a final round 69 to win by one stroke. Assistant Professional Adam Haddad also played shooting 75, 74 and won $240.00.

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.
