Good morning everyone,

Annual Fall Aeration Notice:
As a necessary part of our cultural program at WHG, our fall aeration program for the greens will begin on Monday, October 1st.  Our plan is to close and aerate the front 9 on Monday and reverse the process for the back 9 on Tuesday.  As you are aware, the weather plays an important role in this process, as we need a sunny dry day to complete these tasks.  We plan to start on October 1st, but will postpone if conditions are not adequate and begin again on the 2nd.  As always, we appreciate your understanding during this process.

As the weather/daylight hours change in October, I wanted to update/remind everyone that our 1^st tee time of the day will start at 8:00am as of Monday, October 1st.
The risk of frost is now starting to affect our start times in the morning, so we would ask all golfers that usually book first thing in the morning to start to book a little later in the day to ensure that their reservation is not cancelled.

Currently, our last tee time of the day for 18 holes is set at 3:20pm, while our last tee time of the day for 9 holes is set at 5:20pm  (Last 18 hole round = 3:00pm, Last 9 hole round = 5:00pm as of October 1st).

Good morning everyone,

I wanted to take a quick moment and thank all of our members who participated in our 1st ever Club Championships this past weekend.  Great weather and just a great bunch of people!

With regards to the trophy presentation, my original option for our CC trophies ended up not to the standard we were satisfied with, so I decided to go with a local company “Club Fred Grafx” to supply us with our trophies.  I had the new versions on display over the weekend and should have them finished up shortly.  When completed, a formal group photo/time will be set at everyone’s convenience.

Special thanks again to all of my staff members in both operations and maintenance for their hard work to get the course ready and to make this event happen!

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!
