Sunday Morning welcomed us with unseasonably large amounts of rain! Over 2 inches fell yesterday making the golf course impossible to play. Today, Monday we are only open for 9 holes. The back nine still has holes such as #10,#15,#18 that have large pockets of water that still need to be pumped out. If the weather holds the next couple of days as it looks today we should be back open tomorrow Tuesday. More than likely we will have a golf car path only policy due to the fact that some fairways still have a lot of moisture in them.



Our strategy right now is to pump the excess water either back into the lakes or onto the practice facility. The practice facility will be closed for the next couple of days until we can get all the water removed from it. Once the water is lower in the ponds we will be able to pump the water from the practice facility back into the ponds.

The word on the street is that many golf courses in the area were closed. We were not the only facility affected.

On a more positive note, Chef Roy is preparing for the Pasta Dinner tomorrow. I would suggest that you call right now to make your reservation if you haven’t yet, as seating is limited. For the price, you can’t go wrong! Azul also has some great offers for people who come in for Saturday Night Dinners. You will get a 2 for 1 coupon for Sunday Breakfast! Check with one of your servers for more information on some of the exciting specials we have going right now.

Fat Tuesday is a week away! The food, the fun and maybe even a few beads (Hey now, we are a reputable facility, so get your mind out of the gutter, haha). Reserve your table now before we sell out. February 5th will be our Fat Tuesday Dinner. A flavor of New Orleans without the travel! This evening will sell out, so please call early to book your reservation.

I want to again remind you of the upcoming merchandising opportunities that we have this year. This year we are adding a great number of shots of the golf course from various sources. You will see some exciting changes to the pictures in our website.

On the Anthony Kim watch, Anthony found out first hand about the PGA Tour's new "made the cut but did not finish" policy. To combat the increased number of players who make the cut over the set limit of 70 players, the tour started a rule that a certain number of players who actually made the cut would be paid, but would not get to finish the weekend. Anthony started off with a great round of 68 only to struggle on the south course at Torrey Pines with a 5 over par 77. He will try and regroup as he heads off to the FBR Open in Phoenix. What a week that will be, golf tournament and Super Bowl in the same city. The FBR is already one of the largest spectator golf events played!

We are just posting our exciting specials for the month of February. Golf Balls, hats and sunglasses galore... those are some of the items that we will be offering with our various specials.

Until next week, keep rolling the rock!
