We’re continuing the tradition of getting a hand from our juniors to shuck corn, so parents please send the juniors to the clubhouse at 12 p.m. to help! If a parent is also available at the same time, we can always use a hand in the kitchen to chop and prepare the toppings.
Sunday, all day
Book your own tee time to play in the Five Lakes Tournament at any time Sunday, just be sure to declare this to the Starter prior to teeing off.
Monday, 9 a.m.: Yoga Class
It’s been a great yoga season with our chief yogi Gaye Parsons. We thank her so much for donating her time to the Club for us. Namaste!
Wednesday Ladies golf: Toonies & tea
Bring a toonie and your lunch for Ladies’ Day! All ladies’ golfers are welcome to join us, whether you regularly play on Ladies’ Day or not. Come out for a round of golf or simply join us for lunch and some fun!
We’ll gather at the clubhouse at 11:30 a.m. to enjoy lunch, drinks, and tea while celebrating the golf season together. Non-golfers are also very welcome! Bring your lunch and join us for some fun, friendship, and camaraderie.
Hope to see you there!
Greens News
-
After today’s 3-club tournament, the greens crew will start to aerate and punch the greens. We may have to use temporary greens while this work is done. Please be patient as this is an important step to keeping our greens the best in the Laurentians.
-
Please keep your dogs on leash if walking on the golf course; please note there are coyotes and a Fisher roaming the golf course property. These are potentially dangerous to your pets if they go after these wild animals. Please keep all pets out of the sand traps.
