Message from Golf Course Superintendent Cameron Smith<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n

“<\/span><\/span>Over the last seven days, the Golf Course Maintenance team has been focused on preparing The Pines golf course for the Men\u2019s and Ladies’ Shootout on Sunday and the Legends Pro-Am on Tuesday. It was unfortunate, but unstable weather conditions have created some challenges. With the considerable rainfall during the Legends Pro-Am event, followed by another 37mm of rain overnight, we were forced to close both courses on Wednesday. Despite the situation, the team was committed to resuming maintenance as soon as possible, paying particular attention to ensuring the roughs were being cut regularly on both courses.“<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n
