Despite the below average weather for most of the month of May, we did have a strong finish and our round count for the month was slightly higher than in May of 2022, although we did open a couple days earlier this year. Sales in all areas exceeded our monthly targets in May, which is always nice to see, thank you for your continued support.

Golf and Clubhouse Communication Sessions

As indicated at the Town Hall meeting this spring, we plan to host additional member information sessions this summer to review the safety proposals for #12 and #18 and clubhouse options under consideration.

Details on dates and formats will be forthcoming over the coming weeks. In the meantime, the posters displayed at the Town Hall meeting have been hung in the lower-level hallway for your review. Please forward any questions or comments you might have to me and be sure to attend the information sessions.

Next Saturday, June 10th from 11:00am - 2:00pm, the pro shop will be hosting a Trade in Day. This is a great opportunity to clear out all the old clubs in your garage collecting dust and trade in for credit in the pro shop. If you are curious about what your clubs might be worth, you can visit www.sweetspotgolf.ca

In advance of the Trade in Day, the pro shop is running an auction to try and sell off any of the previous year's demos. The demo auction is live and will close on Friday, June 9th at 6:00pm. This is the same auction site that the club used to sell off the old patio furniture. To visit the auction site and bid on clubs, please click on the link below. Please note, these are still demo clubs, so you are welcome to try them out before placing a bid. If you are the winning bidder on a club, you will be notified by the pro shop. Happy bidding!

Today is Tuesday June 6:
Game: Fairways and Greens: Team members will share the job of recording the team’s Gross scores on the paper score card and in the Golf Genius app.

The paper score card will have a special section to record  your “Fairway and Greens” score separately.  If you hit the fairway you get 5 points but you must subtract one point per putt for that hole.  If you don’t hit the fairway, you get a zero for that hole.

Please note: If you wish to play from any other tees other than the red tees, including a hybrid combination, please let the pro shop know in advance.
Clinic: Chipping (Bump and Run) – meet at the practice green.

 
Golf at Oslerbrook on June 19!

PLEASE SIGN UP SOON! 

Gents the sign-up is now posted. Please speak to your partners or perhaps find one. If you are new to the club and are looking for a partner, the pro-shop will assist you in finding one. Two teams in the final six last year, were teams that the pro-shop put together, days before the event. So chemistry can be created quickly! The closing date for this sign-up will be June 16th. So please don’t delay in submitting the potential winning team.

Of Note: Rob Franklin and Paul Regan are defending their crown! We hope!

Nine & Dine was a Huge Success!
36 members and guests came out to enjoy some great weather and golf and finished their evening with an amazing buffet dinner prepared by Chef Malcolm and his team. We offered a selection of wines for an additional $25 as an added bonus. Great reviews all around. Our next Nine & Dine is on Friday July 14 but if you would like to enjoy an evening out before then, we do have the Father’s Day Friday Night Buffet just 2 weeks away on June 16th. Please sign up on line.

Videographer on site

Attention Friday Golfers!

Please be advised that on Friday, June 9th there will be a videographer and his team on site. 

The club is creating this video for future marketing endeavours. 

You, and/or your group could randomly be approached to answer a question or two about the club.  You can decline to participate if you are uncomfortable or would prefer not to be included.   Only a small fraction of the random footage taken will be used.

Thank you!
 





Last season the Club engaged Chris Fry from Albatross Images to update our course photos and to create a Drone video of the property.

We thought you might enjoy seeing our favourite shots of holes 1 thru18. 

The next edition of the Mad Post will feature the Drone video.
