Congratulations to Luke DelGobbo who is your 2019 Canadian Juvenile Boys Champion!

Luke shot 71, 70, 69 and 70 and his eight under par score was good enough to tie him for first place in the juvenile division where he eventually won in a playoff. In the under-19 Junior division, his score was good enough to tie him for seventh place.

Congrats Luke, We are all very proud of your accomplishments!

From the Green Committee

Starting on Monday, August 26th we will be aerating our fairways. In order to limit the impact on golfers, we will only closing the hole that is being worked on. Greens will also be vented. The anticipated timeline for completion is three days dependent on the weather and other external factors. We will not be closing any other portion of the golf course other than the hole that is being aerated at that particular moment. If during your round you arrive at the start of a hole with a sign notifying you that “aeration is in progress” we ask that you to pick up and move to the next hole.

Holes Not Played/Not Played Under The Rules of Golf

Q.

How do I post a score if a hole is not played or not played under the Rules of Golf?"

A.

For handicap purposes, the player must record a score of par plus any handicap strokes normally received for the holes not played or holes not played in accordance with the Rules of Golf.


Staff Golf Outing

Earlier this week, you received an email from our General Manager, Dan Greenwood regarding the Staff Golf Tournament scheduled for Monday, August 26th.

The staff at LPCC have been working hard again this year ensuring that your experience at the club is a positive one. In support of the staff and in an effort to recognize the efforts of over 70 employees...the MGMT team has organized a staff golf tournament. They will be playing a 9 hole shotgun at 5:30pm and then celebrating off site, on Monday August 26th. All departments will be involved and therefore there will be no services available after 4pm as per the standard operating hours for Mondays throughout the season. Reservations for golf can still be made until 3:30pm and then any walk on traffic will be able to access the back nine after 5:30pm (walking only)

Men’s Senior Ryder Cup

The 2019 Senior Ryder playoffs got underway on Tuesday, August 6th at the Stanley Thompson designed Dundas Valley Golf and Curling Club (home of PGA tour winner Mackenzie Hughes) testing the skills of 128 of the Senior Ryder Cup Niagara Region’s best players.

Heavy morning rains greeted the golfers at registration but by the 1:00 shotgun start the skies had cleared and play was underway at the assigned time. Many matches were tight and not decided until the final putts.

Sixteen clubs had qualified for the playoff event with Lookout Point Country Club, Grand Niagara Golf Club, Port Colborne Country Club and the Donalda Golf Club teams punching their tickets to the Senior Ryder Cup Championship at Devil’s Pulpit on September 5th.

Golf Shop Credits

A friendly reminder that all Golf Shop credits earned prior to the Member / Member event weekend (August 24/25) must be redeemed before the end of the season.


Course Conditions

Aldo and his team continue to do a spectacular job with the conditioning of the course. As members, we have a responsibility to do our part to help the cause. Over the past few weeks we have noticed an uptick in things such as bunkers not being raked, ball marks not being fixed and divots not being replaced. This extends to our practice facility as well where we continue to see Scatter and Concentrated patterns as opposed to the preferred LInear ones (see below image for reference)

As a reminder, we have our Adopt-A-Hole program in place where each member is responsible for helping to keep two holes of the golf course in great shape. Responsibilities include:

  • Replacing of filling divots

  • Raking Bunkers

  • Picking up garbarge

  • Repairing Ball Marks

  • Reporting any damage or areas that could use some improvement to the Golf Shop
