First Hole In One Of The Season
Congratulations to Randy Fournier who had the first hole in one of the season at Osprey Links on Friday, April 16th.
Mr. Fournier aced the 165 yard 17th hole with playing partners Dennis Rounsville and Jason Linkewewich witnessing the feat.

For the record, this is Mr. Fourniers second hole in one at Osprey. He scored his first on September 28th, 2008 on the same hole.
(Picture on right is Randy from September 2008 - hardly aged a minute...)
Great shooting Randy.

Computers Are Here To Stay
With the new season we have added a little more automation to the Pro-Shop operation with a new computerized tee sheet.
For the next couple of weeks it might take us a few minutes more to book your time as we learn the tricks and traps, keystrokes and other things necessary to make it work. So please
be patient with us for a few days as we train our fingers and minds to work with the new system.

Bag Tags Available For Pick Up
Bag Tags and Member Cards are now done. If you pre-purchased your membership over the winter, please stop by the Pro-Shop to pick up yours.

Club Storage Spaces Available
Tired of dragging your golf clubs from you house to the trunk of your car and back every time you want to golf. Consider storing your clubs at Osprey.
A limited number of storage stalls remain.
