Here We Go!

I just got the word from Steve Powell.

We start the league on Wednesday April 23rd at 6pm.

Hopefully we're done with the snow and the temperatures will start to climb again finally.

See you guys then.

The Winter That Won't End

Are you guys getting cabin fever and itching to get the clubs out of storage and start swinging again? I know I'm looking forward to losing my first balls of the new season.

As it stands right now there's no word on any official start date for the upcoming league season. Obviously it all depends on the return of some heat and the melting of the snow along with the drying of the course.

Last year it was mid-April before we got things going and I'm guessing this year won't start any sooner but as soon as I hear any concrete date or get an update of any kind on the course, I'll be sure to post it here.

I know that Alida has also started a Murray Hills Facebook page where you might also be able to get details even sooner so you might want to Like that page if you haven't already. That's provided you're a Facebook user of course.

Hope to see you on the course within the next few weeks.

Are You Ready To Start Swinging?

I hope everyone survived the winter just fine. It certainly wasn't a rough one like we've seen in the past and I haven't heard too many complaints.

I was out to the golf course last night and played a scramble with about 15 members of the League who decided to take advantage of the early Spring golfing weather. The guys were out dusting off the rust from a long break and preparing for the season ahead.

As it stands right now, if the weather co-operates, the first night of league play will be on Wednesday April 11th at 6:00 p.m. as usual.

The dues are still $30 and should be paid on the first night but I'm sure they'll let you slide for a week before they come after you.

The course is in excellent shape and wintered well. I noticed they have some new flags and cups this year which I'm sure we'll all look forward to filling.

If I hear of any changes I'll be sure to post them here and if all goes well I'll try to keep the site and standings updated throughout the season as usual.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the course again soon.

And We're Off

After another long winter of bitter cold temperatures and blowing snow we've finally been able to put all of that behind us and pull our clubs out of storage.

It was great to get back out on the golf course to play the game we all love or love to hate. It's also nice to see old friends and enjoy some laughs and good times together.

The weather was sunny and cool and we couldn't have asked for a better first night. Some of us might have hoped for some better scores but that will come in due time.

Great to see everyone again. Lets have a fun season!
