10/6/2023
Last night’s temperature resulted in this year’s first frost delay, and the new frost policy was applied without incident. Thanks to everyone involved for their patience and understanding. With a favorable forecast ahead, this morning could be a one-off for the 2023 season. That said, the forecast is probably changing as I'm writing this update.
News on course projects last week, and the expected delivery of sod turned out to be a little optimistic...on the part about sod. It turns out an inch of rain will set your sod laying plans back about a week. The good news is work was ahead of schedule and the forecast this weekend and next week will put us back on schedule.
While the tee-box projects wait for sod to complete, the new putting green has taken shape next to the range tee. The putting surface and surrounding contours are clearly defined as of this morning, and drainage is being installed today, followed by layers of root-zone mix. Irrigation around the putting surface is next, followed by sod around the outside. The contractors expect this will be complete by this time next week. Sorry, now the forecast is certainly going to change.
Member Statements went out earlier this week. Remember that October 31 is our year-end, and we hope to see accounts up to date at that time. The club’s AR policy applies interest to balances that are more than 30-days past due when the statement is issued. At 60-days, accounts are suspended which affects members who are on monthly membership payment plans. Check your statement for past due charges and contact the office with any questions.
Congratulations to Bob Ferris on his Hole-in-One Tuesday October 3rd on the Hole #8.
Reminder: The course and restaurant will be closing on October 15:
- Bags in club storage must be taken home for the winter.
- Lockers should be cleaned out and left open for cleaning over the winter.
- The Pro Shop will be closed October 16-19 as the staff attend a merchandise show in Alberta
Have a Great Weekend, and Happy Thanksgiving!
