As far as the golf course is concerned there is plenty of snow cover. Unfortunately the very warm weather and all the rain we had in mid November has led to cause for concern on some greens. We may have some issues on a few greens (especially the 2 practice greens) but I'll go into more detail in a future blog. Been there done that.
I'm hoping the Royal Mayfair Nordic Club members and all others who have used the trails are pleased with the changes we have made to further enhance the experience of cross country skiing at our club. The maps, on course directional markers, and the clock/thermometer (for adjusting wax requirements) are nice additions. For that I have my assistants to thank. Especially David Smith. After seeing what some clubs in the Northeastern USA were doing I had a chat with Dave and we came up with what you see out there now. The following is a picture of the map posted at the beginning (or end depending on your perspective) of the trails at 9 green and 10 tee:
As you can see we have several different options based on description, distance and level of difficulty.
Well done Dave. As always we welcome feedback but lets remember that there are limitations to what we can do out there based on equipment, expertise, timing, etc.
When the new year rolls around we will begin work on the skating rink at the lake on 10. We have some ideas that should make it another nice outdoor winter experience at The Royal Mayfair Golf Club.
All of us in Turf Care (Eric, David, Ian, Maureen and myself) wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year wherever and however you celebrate the Holiday Season.
Wade
