2022 Operating Plan update
As we approach the end of August, I thought it important to provide an update on the 2022 Operating Plan, including a brief financial update.
Our annual Operating Plan is set during budget deliberations and some of our objectives for this summer included;
- The safety of staff and members through the next iteration of the Covid pandemic.
- Continue to prioritize the golf course and maintain it in ‘pristine’ condition.
- Plans to increase compensation rates for seasonal staff in order to attract candidates.
- Resources to facilitate improvements to the golf operation services and food and beverage as identified in the 2020-member survey, in particular in back shop and front of house food and beverage service.
- Continue accumulating capital for new projects that may arise from Long Range plans.
- Successfully deliver our operating and capital budgets.

Golf Canada 2023 Ladies Mid-Amateur Championship
As you’ve no doubt heard, we will host the 2023 Golf Canada Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship next summer from July 24
th – July 27th.
We understand Golf Canada expect this event could draw some top U.S. and International players as well as the best mid-amateur women in Canada.
This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the club, give back to Canadian amateur golf and help to grow the game with a particularly important demographic of Canadian golfers.
More communications will be forthcoming along with numerous opportunities to volunteers.

Hello Everyone,
Last Wednesday was “divot repair” morning. I was amazed at how many unfilled divots were on the course. The few that came out to help were only able to conquer half the front nine. Since then, I can’t help but notice all the fresh unfilled divots! Chad and his crew continuously work very hard to care for our golf course. Please do your part to help keep our course in good shape. Remember to fill your divots and repair your ball marks on the green!

Mens Mad League
Gents
Playoffs will begin Wednesday August 31st. Please make a special effort to attend the next few weeks. Unfortunately the last place team has been eliminated which I’m sure the Mad Men will even be madder!
Wait!! New life, the members from Men Mad are going into a draft and will join one of the other teams. The Pro Shop will do their best to have two guys from the same team play against players from another team.
Next week we are moving to a Shot Gun format and hopefully will not have any disruptions or slow play along the way.
Skins game will not change.
If you wish to play earlier or later, please tell the shop that you will not be playing in the shot gun.
Good luck, we will be off on Sept 07th for President’s Cup and moving to Thursday Sept 15th for our next Mens Day.
