Wade Beaudoin

@YoungerGolf @TheMasters Sorry for your loss Rick!

My dad passed away this morning. Lloyd Young, 92 yrs young, let me caddie for him at age 7, bought me my golf clubs at 10, got me a junior membership at 11 & became a playing partner for the next 55 yrs. Our father/son trip to the 2017 @TheMasters was epic.

It’s weigh in time. The only question that remains is if Bertha will make 1000 pounds!

@iTweetTurf The price of equipment makes me want to vomit.

Deere stock taking a hit and turf sales being indicated as a part of that. I don’t own DE but would be curious what the turf industry people think. #Deere

The weather appears to be going to change just in time for opening. It’s probably 7-10 days late on your calendar. Consider the following work has been completed in 25 days with an average temperature of 2.74 degrees, 9 rain days, 3 days of snow cover and an ice storm.

We waited patiently for our turn with @ZanderSod drill and fills. Not one complaint from staff, golf services staff or member volunteers on pulling the 12-8 pm shift. We have great staff and members! Pizza for all for dinner. Thanks to all for the extra effort!!

Making hay while the sun shines

Staff are working hard under strange yellow orb in the sky this weekend. We aren’t sure what the orb is after the last several weeks but we sure like it

Trying to do what we can with what little decent weather we get.

Reducing snow load on grades above putting surfaces and a few drainage swales. Completing ice checks in preparation for our next move. Winter is a chess game and I want to be Bobby Fisher!

One year ago I wrote a piece for @SCOREGolf on tree removal @HamiltonGolf and other courses and why it continues to be a trend at golf courses throughout North America. @DavidOatis @mikeclaytongolf @golfarchitects scoregolf.com/opinion/rick-y…

Vertidrains from Practical Turf are thumping today.

2024 will mark the 125th anniversary of this fine golf club. In preparation for the the monument, the first tee trees are receiving a pruning. Planning doesn’t cost us anything but it can certainly save us some!

One step closer….. thanks @RSean98 and the Zander team. Green staff with help from Marty, will, Magic, Simon, Burt, Doc, Bono and DOUSER all worked hard to cross the finish line.

And just like that the snow removal equipment is back in play. Mother Nature takes away what she gave!

@fcSquires Followed closely by; “Make sure the sprinkler heads are clean!” “Don’t forget to clean the permanent markers” And likely my personal favourite “I want to eat off that fairway when your done!”

@WadeBeaudoin Don’t forget to blow out those edges!

In addition to pulling cores on the last two fairways, the spring bunker clean out and sand depth checking is underway. New staff bunker training is also being completed. Our students have been helpful and done tremendous work during their winter break.

@fcSquires Only said that 137 times this week bud!!!!

Forecast never came to fruition. It’s not an ideal drying day but sometimes you just have to make the most of the cards your dealt

@toddimack Rumours about the place only start on days that end with Y. Tuesday ends with Y. Don’t shoot the messenger #realist.

@WadeBeaudoin Great picks Wade.. so open for Easter? #rumours will be starting . Lol

Just a hint of dust on the wettest part of the course. The girls and boys are after it today!
