New wines and matches posted

First, a message about our new wines from Bridget, our house and social convenor:

Here are a few tasting notes and a menu from Jen.

Sauvignon Blanc

Exudes scents of summertime - breezy cut grass and lime with vivid flavours of white peach and yellow plum, crisp green apple and lime. Arresting and pure, with a grapefruit finish that adds sophistication and grip.

Blacksheep Riesling

Bursting with granny Smith apples, stony minerality, lime and a touch of peach. The palate has lovely with lemon-lime notes and that tension-packed yin-yang of sweet-tart on the fresh and lively finish.

Cabernet Franc

This savoury wine with cherry – tobacco aromas, juicy blackberry – raspberry flavours and black pepper accents has enough tannin to keep the sensory banquet lingering. A great match with BBQ, olive – rich Mediterranean foods, or savoury herb – seasoned dishes.

Merlot

There is an intriguing, perfumed note on the nose with dark cherries, black raspberries, cassis, integrated spices, and subtle earthy accents. It's rich with some tannic structure and weight on the palate followed by juicy red berries, anise, cassis, and elegant spice notes through a long, lifted finish.

Second, a message about Match Play from Sandi MacDonald, our Match Play and Handicap Convenor:

Match Play is ready to go, both on the bulletin board and on the blog. For a sneak peak, the matches are on the tabs above the post. 

Please review the rules (and hints) posted concerning the respective Match Play Games. Please do your very best to adhere to the timelines - that first date will arrive quickly! 

Matches will be played from the Red Tees and doubles must use 90% of handicap.

All participants are responsible for contacting each other to set up a match time. If you win the match, make an effort asap to contact the next opponent(s).

If you would like me to make up your card, please ask. Any cards I create will be left in the Pro Shop.

After the match, put in the signed card in the box on the shelf under the bulletin board in the locker room (with first and last names please). Remember to enter your scores into Golf Canada Scoring. If unsure how, please contact me.

Matches played following protocols, should not take longer than a regular round. No one wants to be responsible for backing up the course. 

The numbered flags we have used in the past for the Putting Matches are no longer with us! Set up the course as usual and memory will have to suffice. If not, let me know!
