Two Eagles Golf Club Team wins $500 in Interclub Competition

Kelowna, BC – (July 30, 2014) – Searing temperatures up to 40 degrees Celcius seemed to bring out some scorching scores during the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Ford Series in Kelowna, BC, this past week, where a full field of competitive junior golfers battled for division titles as well as for a team interclub victory at The Harvest Golf Club on July 28th and 29th.

Driving Range Notice

Please be advised that The Harvest Golf Club will be utilizing mats only on the driving range from Wednesday, July 30^th through Sunday, August 10^th inclusively.  With excessive amounts of usage that our practice facility has experienced since opening, this will allow the driving range to recuperate and hopefully provide good hitting conditions as of August 11^th.   Also note that this exercise will be repeated at the completion of the Club Championship or around Monday, August 25^th.

We’d like to thank you very much for your understanding as this process is done annually and is necessary for our maintenance crew to be able to perform procedures that will allow the turf to recover.  

Golf Course Irrigation Advisory

The heat we have experienced over this last week is one we haven’t experienced in many years.  With temperatures swirling around 40°C this past week, the work of our golf course maintenance crew is that much more challenging.  With the emerald green coloring we've experienced thus far this season combined with golfers expectations constantly on the rise, it is an inerrant challenge to keep the same course visual presentation during these extreme climactic conditions.  As long as these excessive temperatures continue, we are anticipating utilizing upward of 1 million gallons daily, both from our automated irrigation system and manually watering isolated areas in the daytime.

TaylorMade Opens New Performance Centres in Western Canada

TaylorMade Canada announced the opening of Canada’s TaylorMade Performance Centres (TMPC), which serves as TaylorMade Canada’s home base for custom fitting across Western Canada.

Under the skilled eye of TaylorMade Master Fitters Kris Farley, Mike Langin and Andy Johnson, golfers of all abilities will now have access to test and be fit for the entire line-up of TaylorMade’s vast range of custom and stock options. Set up in a weather sheltered environment, each TaylorMade Performance Centre features TaylorMade proprietary fitting software on FlightScope’s X2 Launch Monitor to analyze ball-flight and club-dynamics.

“We can dial in any club in the bag, from drivers and fairways to rescues, irons, wedges, the putter and golf ball,” explained Andy Johnson, a native of Australia, and past player on the PGA Tour Canada and Australasian Tours who has overseen TMPC operations in Vancouver for the past year. “Providing the player with data such as spin rates, launch angles, swing speed, ball speed, we are able to illustrate the ideal set-up for a player’s bag and recommend the best fit for a player’s game. At the end of the fitting process, clients will be provided with customized specifications from which they can place an order for their new set and a point of contact to follow up with any fitting related inquiries.”

“TaylorMade Performance Centres slot into the upper echelon of our Tuned Performance franchise, and help consumers to access our staff of Master Fitters in a way that is convenient for the golfer,” said Cameron Jacobs, Manager, Custom Fitting for TaylorMade Canada. “One of the challenges we’ve seen in Canada is that players can’t always attend a demo or fitting day at their club, nor can our reps transport the full-line of custom options from event to event. Setting up shop at a fixed TMPC location and offering high-level fitting to all golfers is not a fad, it’s the way we see the business evolving to suit the needs of today’s consumer. We couldn’t ask for better venues in Calgary, Vernon, Kelowna and Vancouver – they’ve been phenomenal hosts – this is our stake in the ground for Western Canada.”

The TaylorMade Performance Centre serves as a hub for pro-shops and golf retailers from all corners of Alberta, British Columbia and beyond. Appointments for fitting sessions at the TaylorMade Performance Center may be booked by PGA of Canada Professionals, TaylorMade Authorized retailers on behalf of their clients, or golfers may book directly with TaylorMade at each location. Upon completion of a fitting session, the Master Fitter will be able to assist consumers in placing an order and ensuring quick delivery for any custom product built at the head office in Carlsbad, California.
