2018 Club Championship Update

August 25^th-26th

Good morning everyone,

I just wanted to provide a quick update for everyone about the upcoming club championship this weekend.

Tee times will be posted by this coming Thursday August 23^rd and groupings will be decided by divisions and handicaps for the first day, while on the second day it will be by divisions and scores with the best scores going out last.  Tee times will start at 8am on both Saturday and Sunday.

The order of divisions will be as follows:

– First day will be the Men’s division followed by the Senior Men then the Ladies.

– Second day will be the Senior Men followed by the Ladies and then the Men.

As well, the golf course will be fully staked and marked properly for this weekend and rules sheets will be provided for each golfer with a description of where every hazard is marked and where various drop zones are located.

As previously mentioned, the deadline to sign up was Monday August 20^th, so if you have not already done so, I strongly encourage anyone that is undecided to sign up today by visiting us at the clubhouse. For people that have signed up but not paid yet, we do require the entry fee to be paid as soon as possible so we can fully finalize participant numbers and applicable money for prizes. As a reminder from previous messages, the fee for the event is cash only.

Also we have received numerous questions about handicaps and what can and cannot be used. The only handicap that will be accepted is a valid Golf Canada Gold Membership handicap that is purchased, the free bronze option or other handicaps from other systems will not be accepted as they are not considered valid for tournament play.

Last but never least…I wanted to take a quick moment and thank our all of our staff members for their hard work and extra effort leading up to the club championships.  Special thanks to Stephen Pugh, Zane Cameron and Adam Fletcher for their time and effort.

If you require any additional information, please send an email with details.  Good luck to all participants this weekend!

Good afternoon everyone,

-Over the past four weeks, we have been giving out our complimentary WHG repair tools to help promote fixing ball marks on our greens.  I wanted to say thanks to the many members and guests that have been diligent with this process and that we appreciate the effort of fixing their ball mark and marks from other golfers, when time permits.  Since this is an ongoing issue, we would like to ask all members to continue this process to help keep our greens rolling consistently for everyone!  As a general rule, a ball mark repaired within 10 minutes will heal with a smooth surface within two to three days.  An unrepaired ball mark may take as long as three weeks to heal, but the result will be an uneven surface.

So, if you need a tool, please ask a WHG Starter or Staff Member to get you one.

-I wanted to let everyone know that for Thursday August 16th, we will be reversing the front and back 9 to allow our maintenance crew to complete work on the front 9 (weather permitting).

Good afternoon members,

I wanted to mention some important upcoming dates that will affect regular booking times.

On Thursday Aug 9^th, we will be hosting the UNB Men’s Basketball Don Nelson Shootout which starts at 12pm.  We have decided to close the course for the day and allow our maintenance staff to finish up some necessary work in the morning on the front 9 (we have golf carts coming from another course to help accommodate the tournament).  There will also be some additional dates in September that will have restrictions, so I will have an announcement on those dates as soon as they are finalized.

We have set August 25-26 for our club championship for this season.  Details and information about the event will be coming shortly.

Good morning members,

Due to the forecast this morning, I have decided to postpone our Member’s Day event to a later date.  My staff is attempting to call each member that was booked in to let them know that the event has been postponed.

I will look to announce our new date for the event shortly and I want to thank everyone for their patience and I apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.  Any member that would like to golf today or keep their original tee time is more than welcome to.

Good morning members,

It gives me great pleasure to announce the opening of our beautiful back 9 to complete our 18 holes on Monday June 25^th.  One week before our promise date of July 1^st.

On opening day, we have decided to make it all about our members and have a members only day!

So, on Thursday June 21^th, members can advance book their own tee time on a first come first serve basis until all 144 spots are filled.  Tee time availability for Monday June 25^th will be between 7:30am and 1:20pm with the 144 members in the field getting a shot at a hole in one opportunity on hole #11 for $100,000.00!

Rules/Conditions for “hole in one” are as follows:

All golfers will play hole #11 from the White tee deck (Par 3 = min 150 yards required).   All golfers will be playing 18 holes in consecutive groups of 4 (When booking, our staff will help fit members into incomplete foursomes so we meet the conditions required to host the event).  A West Hills Golf appointed official will be stationed on hole #11 to verify/monitor play.  Professionals are not eligible.  Only one attempt per player will be allowed, a ball hit out of bounds & replayed does not qualify.  Mulligans are not eligible for the “hole in one”.  Scorecards must be completed, signed & attested.  The “hole in one” prize is only applicable to the first participant making the first “hole in one” on hole #11 (A complete list of the rules/conditions will be provided on the day of the event).

A BBQ is also in the works on the day of the event (weather permitting), so grab a hot dog and a drink on us as you make your way to hole #10!  As always, if you are having any issues booking online, please call the clubhouse directly so our staff can help with any details you require (450-4653).  Please remember that this is a members only event and that there is no entry fee.

Good luck to all of members on Monday and thank you very much for your patience and support as we finally transition from 9 to 18 holes during this soft opening!

Good morning everyone,
