Summer is Here!!!

Well a wet and cool June is now over and we are looking forward to a hot and dry summer the rest of the way.

The golf course routing is now back to normal, although we are looking for input about permanately having the course routed the way we had it in June. There were many positive comments about the new route including that there were no back to back par 3's and it breaks up the back nine. As well we noticed that there were less backups on 7 and the pace of play was a little better.

We also have a new look on the driving range. There are 16 yardage markers out on the range so there are many more targets to aim at. Come out and give it a try.

Course Back to Normal (almost)

With the La Salle river receding, all bridges are now back in play and the course is fully playable. It was pretty scary with river levels as high as they were in the spring of 97.

The course came out of this in great shape and golfers will be pleased to see those conditions. As well the new target green flags are in place with the red, white and blue theme to indicate where the pin is on the green.

Road construction is still taking place between holes 13 and 14, so we are rerouting the course from Mondays to Fridays inserting the 15th and 14th holes between 5 and 6. If you happen to play the course in this configuration, please let us know what you think of it. Some people have really liked it as it seperates the 2 par 3's as well as breaking up the back 9.

There will be no Men's Night the next three weeks as there are big tournaments scheduled for those days.
