Thanks go out to Mayor McCormick, village employees, engineers, and the road construction crew for pushing for the partial opening of this major Godfrey roadway by the first of 2010.

New Years Day 2010

New Years Day 2010 brought our 33rd annual and longest running area first tournament of the year plus open house. We have had to cancel a couple due to ice but snow does not stop us. To the right of the snow man you can see the green where we started manually shoveling an area around the pin for the golfers to putt. We had two different 2" snows the week between Christmas and New Years.


Pictured above is #2 green with some remaining snow and ice. Exposing the dark green allows the surface to warm enough to melt down this remaining snow and ice.


We are able to utilize backpack blowers with dry snows as seen above.
New Years Day 2010 brought temperatures that maxed out at 20 degrees with wind chills in the single digits. That being said we still managed to have 54 golfers.
