2022 Season Is Almost Here

If all goes well and Mother Nature doesn't get any crazy plans, we should be starting another season of golf in the near future. I hope you all made it through another long cold and snowy winter.

No official dates have been released at this point of course, but we're starting to make plans for the upcoming summer of fun on the links. Much like the last two years, we're hoping for the best with regards to Covid19 but will adapt as needed. Once I have an outline for the season and a schedule, I'll try to get it posted here ASAP.

If your team will be in need of players this season, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Steve Powell or touch base with Tom at the golf course and I'm sure they'll help figure things out. Also, if you know someone looking to play in the league, have them reach out and I know they'll do their best to fill out teams and find a spot for them.

In the meantime, polish up your clubs and clean your balls in preparation for the good times ahead.

League Starts Wednesday June 10th

It's official!

The league will begin play on the evening of Wednesday June 10th but as you can imagine it won't be business as usual. I've been provided with the changes and rules that will need to be followed so we can do this safely and within the safety guidelines set by the Province.

• League Dues will be $20.
• League dues will enter you in the 50/50 and Closest to the Pin for the year.
• No league hole-in-one pot.
• The Schedule has yet to be set.
• Tee times will begin at 5:30pm and the last group will tee off at 6:20pm.
• Arrive 10 minutes before your tee time.
• Everyone will tee off on either Hole #1 or Hole #10.
• NO Spares! Only the four golfers counting will be playing. Arrange your four players ahead of time.
• No congregating in the parking lot before or after the round.
• You will play each team once.
• There will be two or three weeks of playoffs.
• No Party this year.

That's the way things are set up as of now. If I hear of any additions or changes I will let you know.

See you out on the course.

COVID-19 Closes Course

We hoped it wouldn't happen but Tom and Alida have had no choice but to close the golf course.

With the continuing COVID-19 Pandemic causing increases in more cases and deaths in the province and around the world, we all have to do what is necessary to try and bring this crisis to an end as soon as possible.

Here is the announcement posted to the Murray Hills Golf Course Facebook page earlier today.

Until such time as the course reopens and the league can begin play, stay safe and take care of those you love and as soon as we get the word that things are in the works to begin play, I'll let you know. Hopefully we will be back golfing again this summer.

A New Season Approaches...We Hope

Winter was going so well and the weather has certainly been cooperating as far as having hopes of returning to the golf course and league play in the near future.

However, the current landscape of the world with the arrival of Covid-19 and the new normal of self-distancing, quarantines and empty store shelves certainly has us preoccupied with more important things.

While I'm sure we're at least a month away from any start date for the season, I'll be sure to let you know of any developments as I get them regarding the start of league play. If all goes well we can flatten the curve of this thing and return to some form of normal life sooner rather than later.

In the meantime, follow all necessary precautions and stay safe. We hope to see you out in the fresh air on the golf course soon.
