News Bulletin: July 7, 2025
It’s very important for all members to please be mindful of their actions on the golf course considering the amount of labour and love needed to get it to it into optimal plaing conditions.
​
Unfortunately, a large divot was found on the 7th green (pictured) that could only have occurred due to carelessness. We remind all members they are responsible for both their own conduct and those of their guests and children. The club is investigating to determine how this act of recklessness occurred, which could include a review of playing privileges is necessary.
On the Course
The Husband & Wife Tournament is this Saturday (July 5) with a shotgun start at 10 a.m. Don and Debbie Sutherland won last year’s event. Sign up here.
Junior Lessons are up and running which also means the course is closed on Monday mornings until 11a.m. in July so Chris Hart and his team can care for the course.
