0c...I see the full moon was on Fri. night but it still looks big and bold out there. The full moon 'crazies' ( my term ) should be past and everyone and everything should be back to normal. No seeing bunnies with baskets of chocolate or any other weird stuff today. The start time was around 8:45 Sat. so that will be a good time to plan a start but as we all know the frost dictates the actual time. Just put an ish behind the time and it will be close. We are getting some grass cut so the conditions are getting more summer like unlike the temperatures we're experiencing. One of these days the heat is going to hit, then watch out, the winter clothes will hit the storage bins with such a thud we'll think there's been an earthquake. Enjoy your Easter Sunday and we hope to see you out here. ( was that the Easter Bunny hopping by??)

Aaaaaand once again we're off to a frosty start. Conditions are very similar to yesterday when we got the mowers going about 8:45. I'd expect about the same this morning, and then it's off to watch Fred Couples show the young guys how it's done at Augusta. Enjoy your day.

0c.. clear skies..an annoying robin chirping outside the window. It is sitting outside the window because it is too cold for its teensey weensey little feet if it stood in the grass( frost ) like it's supposed to. I think they came back too early this year. It's going to be a beautiful day today with sunny skies and light wind. Golf at it's finest on April 5th. We'll see you out there.

Star light star bright the first star....how the heck does that stupid thing go. -2c . We all know what that means. The start will be delayed this morning. The good news is that the ground should be warm enough so the greens don't freeze therefore when the frost does go we can get right on regular greens.( 9:00ish ??) That is a sure sign of spring. Sunscreen is the word of the day. Bring lots and use often. Enjoy your day and we'll see you out there.

6c with a light breeze...and a wee bit o drizzle...after the last two days that sounds like a decent start to the day. We've had 20mm of rain over the last 24 hours so there might be some puddles on the course but all in all the conditions could be a lot worse. The greens are still rolling good so birdies are abundant. The gale that blew yesterday has passed over so alas the added challenge of playing in the wind is also gone. There are just showers forecast for the rest of the week so bring sunscreen for the sunny periods and enjoy your round(s).

How hard is the wind going to blow? The wind warning is only supposed to last until mid morning so not so bad a day ahead . The rainfall amounts that are now forecast are quite a bit less than was forecast yesterday so who knows maybe we won't see any rain at all. The 5'' of snow we had yesterday is almost all gone with just a bit left in the shaded areas. The start will be on time this morning with regular greens in play. Enjoy your round and we'll see you out there.

Wow that is either the best, or the worst and meanest April fools trick yet and I'm not sure which . What a surprise this morning. If like all April fools jokes the Tom foolery stops at noon we should see some golfing this afternoon but this is the best or is it the worst joke to date so we'll have to wait a bit to see the outcome. With the forecast high for 8c this afternoon we should see the snow melt away fairly quickly. Be carefull of the jokers this morning and hopefully we'll see you out here this afternoon. What is it, the best or worst??? I still can't tell as I've both laughed and cursed. That's a good one.
