Spring WILL come sometime soon!

A message from our Women's Section President:


President’s Message

As another new golf season draws near, golfers filled with renewed energy and optimism are anxious to get back to the game and reunite with good friends.   Sorry pretty robins, but dusting off clubs or unpacking them after a long drive north is the first real sign of spring!

This year promises to be a year of good fun and friendship, 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.  Your 2014 executive are also hard at work preparing for the new golf season.  Your feedback from the survey last fall will offer us guidance over the course of the season.  Great ideas and new games will provide a fresh look to the women’s section.  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 3, followed by a fashion show and the President’s Welcome Reception.  It will be a great way for everyone to socialize, trade winter stories, and meet new women members while enjoying a beverage and some appetizers.  Soon you will receive a phone call from one of the executive giving you details, but for now put May 3, on your calendar.  Registration in the Great Hall begins at 2:00 pm so there’s time beforehand for those of you who would like to golf.   

I wish all of you a great golf season full of success and memorable moments!  Should you need anything or have suggestions, please talk to me or another executive member. We’re here for you!  Our 2014 Dalewood Women’s Golf Schedule will be posted on the blog so stay tuned…

Warmest regards,

Linda Isaac



In the meantime, remember how 
beautiful our course is and 
enjoy the Masters.

Merry Christmas and some photos

Merry Christmas everyone!
A few of us got together for the Christmas Buffet and it was terrific.  Great seeing everyone and looking forward to the spring, especially after the last few days.  With no power for three days, it's amazing what we take for granted.  Even after 65 hours, I still switched on a light when I entered a dark room!!  However, everything is back to normal here and I hope for all of you as well.  Enjoy the Christmas holiday with family and friends.


They got a little surprise snowfall out west and our Dave sent some shots to Jamie.  Who knew they made Loudmouth clothes for snowmen?


Dalewood on Dec 24 - the ice was actually sparkling in the trees!

Oops - the 13th is fully booked

As we found out by email today, the buffet lunch on Dec 13 is full.  Good for Dalewood; not so good for us.  I will make reservations for Friday Dec 20 for 11:30 on Wednesday.  Anyone who would like to join us for lunch that day, let me know by Nov 29, so I can update the reservations.

An addition to Dalewood AND Lunch

There will be a new feature on the 18th hole in the rough when you return in the spring.  An English Oak has been planted in Mary Buckley's memory.  A dedication ceremony will take place in the spring or early summer.  (See below the picture for lunch info.)


Anyone interested in enjoying Chef Jen's Christmas buffet on Dec 13 at noon, please let me know and I will make reservations. Email me at jbeaith@sympatico.ca if you'd like to do lunch!  You know it will be delicious!
