Not so fast!!

Although the weather on the weekend was terrific and made us all want to be out golfing, Mother Nature had other things in mind. The rain on Sunday night and all day Monday caused the opening of the club to be postponed. In case you thought they were being too cautious, Jamie sent me this picture from Monday afternoon. The water had actually started receding by the time this shot was taken. The good news is that no damage was done to the cart paths during the flooding and opening was to go ahead on Wednesday, for those brave enough to play in 6 degree weather. The even better news is that it didn't rain on TUESDAY!!  Maybe that's an omen for rain free golf this year on OUR day.

Team Play:
The women's section is going to continue with Team Play again this season. There will be 9 dates (including 3 playoff rounds) throughout the summer. We have scheduled them to avoid any trophy play, so that the issue of keeping three cards hopefully does not arise (unless we run into rain problems again). You will still need to keep two cards in the group for 9 holes - one for the pro shop and one for the "toonie game". An explanation of score keeping will be given at draft night and posted on the Team Play board. Sign up by May 9 and draft night is May 12. The cost will be $20 again this year.

That time of year again!

President’s Message 

This has been the year of the winter that just wouldn’t go away!  Welcome back to those of you who were fortunate enough to escape the winter perils and congratulations to those of you who persevered our Canadian weather!  As another new golf season draws near, I know our women golfers are anxious to get back to the game and reunite with good friends.    

This year promises to be another year of great fun and fellowship, not to mention some fabulous days on our beautiful Dalewood course.  Jamie and staff are busy ensuring that the club is picture perfect for our return.  I think you’ll be in for a surprise when you come to the club!  Your 2015 executive are also hard at work preparing for the new golf season.  Your feedback from the survey and the questionnaire sent out last fall will continue to offer us guidance over the course of the season.  Team Play is back by popular demand and social events will continue to keep everyone busy off the course as well.  Fresh ideas and new games are always welcome to keep our Tuesday league and tournaments vibrant.  Once again, I have made it my personal mandate to involve as many new faces as possible in volunteer roles.  No need to take on an executive position or volunteer for the entire season.  Helping out for a day, an event or even for a few minutes will be really, really appreciated!  After all, this is your club so the greater the involvement, the stronger the women’s section will be.

The Spring General Meeting will be held the afternoon of Saturday May 2^nd. This year registration and the President’s Reception will begin at 1:00 PM.  By having the President’s Reception before the meeting and fashion show you will have more time to socialize and trade winter stories with your golfing friends.  You will also have time to do some shopping at the vendor displays before the meeting as well.  Soon you will receive a phone call from one of the executive giving you details, but for now put May 2nd on your calendar.   

I wish all of you a great golf season full of fun and many personal achievements!  Should you need anything or have suggestions, please talk to me or another executive member. Our 2015 Dalewood Women’s Golf Schedule will be posted on the blog so stay tuned…

Warmest regards,

Linda Isaac
