Supply chain issues have delayed the delivery of our new power cart fleet from the U.S. They were ordered last August and our expected delivery was February, then March and so on. The most critical issue with our current fleet is the battery life is now exhausted and many of the carts won’t hold a charge for 18 holes.

For the past few weeks our supplier has been indicating the delivery of our fleet was imminent and so mitigating steps for our fleet was not necessary. However, the issue has become increasingly frustrating for us with carts running out of charge on course every day. We’ve come to a temporary solution and the manufacturer will be on site the rest of this week replacing the batteries in all our carts to ensure they can be reliable until our new fleet arrives with the new expected arrival date now looking like the end of the month.

This is an exciting week for golf in our nation as the Canadian Open returns after a two-year hiatus. Although the upstart LIV Tour has been stealing the headlines in the golf world, I know what I will be watching come Sunday afternoon. There is a great crop of young, talented, and hungry Canadians in the field this week. There are also some veterans, one that I will be rooting for to make the cut. I had the pleasure to play with Wes Heffernan from Calgary while living out west. He is a class act and a fantastic player. In a US Open practice round with Fred Couples and Davis Love III, they both questioned why he was not playing the PGA Tour full-time based on how he struck the ball. He is in the field this week for the first time in over a decade. Best of luck to Wes, and all the Canadians in the field this week!

Hello Everyone, Although we did not venture out into the rain on International Women’s Golf Day, we met in the club house for the “rule of the week”, coffee, and specially prepared festive snacks to celebrate the day. A big thank you to Stephanie for spoiling us with her delicious mini cheesecakes!

Summer is making a slow entrance, but we know when it comes, it will be fabulous and with summer, comes BBQ season!  We are in the final stages of getting the patio stones installed so we can put the tables and chairs out permanently. Once these are set, we will run the BBQ every weekend unless the weather is not favourable (typically cold or persistent rain) and it will run from 11:00 - 3:00.  We will serve hot dogs, sausages and switch between beef and chicken burgers.
