Autumn Golf
Has Truly Arrived
Keep your golf clubs handy. We have had some beautiful days
already this Fall with more still to come. Many trees are
just starting to change colour. Autumn colours, blue skies and
green fairways: nothing is prettier and the show is just getting
underway. We hope you will come to Oakridge to enjoy some golf,
the friendship of others and Mother Nature in full splendor. Fall
Rates are here. You are welcome to book a tee time anytime in
advance.
Elsewhere in this newsletter you can read about our local Leaf
Rule. Although that might imply leaves anywhere, I would like to
give credit where credit is due. In this case, it's to Oakridge's
own Superintendent, Warren Moffatt, and his team. I am always
amazed at how clear of leaves the course is despite being surrounded by
beautiful forests. While the local rule is here for your use, I'd
say there's a better than even chance you won't have the opportunity to
apply the rule... unless you
really want to!
While a leaf here or there is on the mind, I'll just take this one
opportunity to say Go Leafs!
From all of us, see you soon!

The Local Leaf Rule
Now in Effect
The Leaf Rule allows a free drop for a golf ball
lost in leaves.
The Leaf Rule applies to in-bounds areas
of the golf course only.
Search for only 1 minute.
If the ball is not found beneath the leaves,
you are permitted a free drop in the general area
with no penalty to be incurred.
Remember, above all else, enjoy your game!
So you think
you're tough...
"What exactly are the TUFF tournaments and why are they in November?"
It's a question I've been asked frequently. Firstly, the
TUFF tournaments are 18 hole team scramble events hosted by
Oakridge Golf Club every year. They take place the first weekend
in November. The first on Saturday and second on Sunday.
Why are they in November? Because we're Canadian!
Because golf has to last as long as it can.
Golf's not over until we say so.
The TUFF tournaments are, as engraved on the trophy, "A true test of
Canadian golf mettle." The determination of Canadian golfers to make
golf last is unwavering. And thanks to golfers like you we've
created a day that defies golf logic. It is a celebration and the
toughest test of golf Oakridge can offer. Once a season the pins
are the most difficult we can place. A golfer who knows us well
quipped, "You and Warren (our Superintendent) must've slept like babies
last night knowing the nightmares we would have after playing today."
And then we both broke into a ruckus of laughter as only golfers can.
"I have to putt them too" was my only submission. Oh and am
I glad I had the chance to steady over a 5 footer with 24 inches of
break.
As Canadians. As golfers. We play in the Tuff no matter the
weather. We get charged up for the chance to fire at a pin
blocked by the tree, tucked behind the bunker and on the crest of the
fault line. We all have a few things in common.
We're golfers.
We're Canadians...and we're tough.
