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.
