Your Beautification Committee Hard At Work

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Many of you may have noticed little improvements here and there around the course as the Beautification Committee (of two – Alice Langill and Margie Welin) have been adding their touch to the various gardens and grounds around the course – anything from plants and flowerbeds to general aesthetics and landscaping.  If you see them, be sure to thank them for their efforts in helping our course look more appealing – better yet, offer to give them a hand!  The ladies will also notice Margie’s handiwork in the club storage building, where she has completely re-done the ladies locker room – everything from repairing the walls, to painting them, to getting new paper towel dispensers, to reupholstering the chair – awesome!

On a somewhat similar vein – that being the presentation of our club – we ask that all smokers adhere to the policy of not smoking within 3 metres of an entrance.  Please be courteous and use the new butt can provided in the designated smoking area on the right end of the deck (closest to the Pro Shop).

Keep your suggestions and comments coming – we’re listening!  You’ve asked for it and it’s back – fish and chips are on the menu and we’ve had nothing but good reviews.  Drop in for lunch and enjoy lunch on the deck.  Looking for a place to have a section mug-out or function?  Why not have it at the club – we’ve got great prices and a nice relaxed atmosphere.  Who knows, maybe you can even convince the boss to partake in a game of golf …  See you soon.

Too Much Rain!

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Due to all of the rain we’ve had, the river has come up quite quickly and portions of the course are inaccessible as of Friday night at 9:00 PM. If you have Tee Times booked for Saturday morning, please call the Pro Shop at 765-5800 prior to coming out to see if the course is open. If at all possible, we will at least try to have the “old” 9 open, but please call beforehand, particularly if you’re coming from any distance away. Based on the current conditions, carts will not be permitted on the course until it dries up a bit and our maintenance staff says there’s no risk of damage.  We’ll post an update as we learn more.

GGC Bids Farewell to Manager

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

The Greenwood Golf Club staff, executive, NPF staff, and members said farewell to Mike McCorry on Monday, 26 July as he will be moving on to accept a position as the Superintendant at Annapolis Royal. It was an opportunity that Mike said he could not pass up, and he looks forward to the challenges ahead of him. We want to assure everyone that this move has absolutely nothing to do with the false rumours that the club is closing; in fact, your support this season has been tremendous and we are having a great year – the future looks bright for the GGC! Passing on their thanks for Mike’s work as the manager over the last 3 1/2 seasons were the Wing Administration Officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Smith McBride, the PSP Manager, Lisa White, the Club President, Major Tom Gorman, and the Ladies President, Betty Salzman. While the club looks for a new manager, Karen Gorman will assume the responsibilities and duties as Acting Manager. Because of this unexpected development and a perceived conflict of interest in the management of the club, the current President will be stepping down and Major Ron Kielback will be the Acting President until a formal announcement is made to appoint a new President. The staff asks for your patience and understanding as we work through this transition period; please be sure to bring any concerns or issues to our attention. In particular, please be sure to confirm your arrangements and details with Karen if you are organizing or running an upcoming tournament or other event – this holds true for tournaments planned for next season as well. We will work our hardest to ensure the season finishes as successfully as it started – with your help we are sure it will be a great year with many more to follow!

Golf Course Open 29 March

Monday, March 29th, 2010

All 18 holes are open this morning, with carts. For the most part we are dry, but there is still some standing water around, so if you play in a cart please be respectful of the course and avoid water, low areas and soft ground.

Golf Course Closed 27 March

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

The Annapolis River is flowing where it should now, and not interfering with the golf course as much anymore. We would be able to play at least the “Old 9″ today. Unfortunately the course has quite a bit of snow and ice on it from the weather we had yesterday, which poses a safety concern for the course as well as you, the golfer. We will remain closed for the day, please check back later Saturday afternoon for an update.

Tournament Information

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Info for the founder’s and Builder’s, Shoot-Out and Fall Ball is now posted on the “News” page. It will migrate to the “Events” page in the next week or so.

Golf Course Still Closed

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Unfortuneatley the course is still closed due to flooding. We are hoping the flooding to have subsided enough to at least play the “Old 9″ for Sunday. Please check back Saturday morning for an update.

Golf Course Closed 25 March

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

The river came up over night, so we’re closed today. Check back tomorrow for an update, we hope to be open again by the weekend.

Season Winding Down

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Our season is winding down, but hopefully there is still lots of golf left!  We are no longer taking tee times, just a “ball in rack” system.  Call the pro shop at 765-5800 before you come out to see how busy it is.  Our green fee for the rest of the season is just $17 for all the golf you can play.  Pro Shop and Club Storage hours are now 8-4, 7 days a week.  The back gate is open 7-2:30, but please call the pro shop to confirm. 

**Dates to Remember**

24 October – Cross Country Tournament – Only a few spots left!

1 November – Last day to purchase merchandise from the pro shop.

6 November – Office, back gate, club storage and members power cart storage closed for the season.  Please have your clubs and carts removed by this date.

Thanks for a great season.  If we don’t see you again this fall, have a good winter and we’ll see you early in 2010!
