It Takes Team
Work To Run A Successful Golf Course |
|
|
Christina Allsop, one of the new owners of the former
Clearview Golf Club spends a great deal of time talking to Pro Shop
Manager, Dave Kozak, in order to coordinate the special events and
functions of groups and organizations that are planning on coming to the
golf course this summer for tournaments and other activities. Mens, Ladies
and Couples Nights as well as Senior Days and Junior programs are all
geared up for a busy summer season. Membership has almost tripled this
spring so the Pro Shop staff is being kept hopping just staying up with
demand for tee times. If you want to book a tee time or discuss a
tournament at Grill Marks Clearview Golf Club, just phone the Pro Shop at
897-6419.

The key to a good golf course is the maintenance staff, and
Grill Marks Clearview is fortunate to have one of the finest crews in the
district. Golf Course Superintendent, Peter Woitowich, on the far right,
has been in the golf business for over 30 years. He is into his 4th
year on the course which his father, former golf pro, Joe Woitowich, built
with Henri Frappier, the original owner of the Val Caron Golf Course that
opened in 1989. With him are his two greens keepers, Bobby-Joe Serre and
Rob Rooke. “When you are dealing with ‘Mother Nature’ you have to be
patient. This was one of the hardest winters for turf with all of the rain
and freezing we had. Most of the golf courses in the area have had damage
to the greens and fairways, but once the evening temperatures stay above
10 degrees and the ground warms up things will improve all over the
course. Besides making sure that the tees and greens are the best they can
be, this summer you will see a lot of work being done on bunkers,
directional signage and cart paths. You will also see a huge improvement
in the appearance of the course as we tackle some tree and underbrush
concerns from the past. |

It hasn’t taken long for the general public to let
Christina and Tyler know that their combination of a bistro restaurant,
golf course and conference centre is a perfect fit for many of their
personal and business needs. “We can provide whatever you require in
terms of food, space for your function, no matter what the size, and we
even have a golf course for your recreational needs,” explained
Christina in between one of her many phone calls. “Whatever you are
planning, just call me and we will be able to help you out. Be sure to
drop in for dinner and check out our Bistro Menu, Tuesday to Sunday from
10 a.m.
to
10 p.m.
We even offer an Express Menu at our patio “Grill Shack” just for
golfers.” |
