No avoiding the heat

As we head into a stretch of over 90 degree days we want you to make sure you can still enjoy the great game of golf. Hot weather shouldn't keep you from the course. So we make sure we have several water coolers set up around the course. We also remind you to take a water bottle with and fill it up at the water cooler.

Take your time and if you feel like the heat is might be getting to much, stop for a while in the shade. Golf is suppose to be a relaxing and enjoyable sport, so enjoy the course and walk at a slower pace. Wear a light colored shirt, one that breathes. And of course, don't forget to put on sunscreen!

It's going to be hot!

They say the next couple of days are going to be really hot. So make sure if you are doing any activities let's say golf or Riverfest, be sure to hydrate. Water water water. The three words of advice I have for you. So maybe take a cart on the course, hit the water coolers we have stationed all around the course and stop and sit in our clubhouse and cool down. We want to make sure you stay safe and comfortable.

If you are going down to Riverfest remember to walk casually and enjoy the sights and sounds! Riverfest is a Coulee Region tradition and we encourage you to enjoy safely! We will be here waiting when the holiday is over! Happy Festing!

Thanks kids!

You know Father's Day was pretty typical Father's Day for me. Got wonderful calls from the kids, gifts and work. But after a day of thinking about it I realize how many people don't have the luxury of a typical Happy Father's Day. I am so happy I have my family. They are the reason I get up and work...OK, maybe a little because the dog wants to come along. Andrew, Katie, Emily...you are all so special to me and your calls make my day. Your smiles make my life. Thank you for giving me so much pleasure to watch you grown into the young adults you are. Thank you for a WONDERFUL Father's Day. I am glad I am one lucky Father!

If you haven't thought about what family means, really means to you in a while, you should. Father's Day is not just another day. It's a day to be happy to be family, a day to remind your Dad of how much he means to you and get a hug from the kids who appreciate you. Happy belated Father's Day to my Dad, to all Dad's and hug your kids today!

Time to shop!

With Father's Day fast approaching and today it's raining, then it's time to go shopping! Here at Walsh Golf Center we have all our bags and pull carts in stock $10 off the lowest price. Instant savings! If Dad already has both, a gift certificate offers him the chance to pick up what ever he needs or towards a bucket of balls or a round of golf.
If you want to make Father's Day really special, bring him to play mini golf and he plays free!
GOLF AND FATHER'S DAY GO HAND AND HAND!!

Hot Weather Tips

You can't escape the heat so do your best to work with it by staying hydrated. Carry a bottle of water or Gatorade with you on the course. We offer water stations, so please take advantage of them. Take it easy and walk along the shade lines of the course. Alcohol dehydrates not hydrates so limit you intake of alcohol on the course. But most important is know your limits. If you find your self exhausted and you stop perspiring immediately get back to the clubhouse and hydrate.

Saturday

It's Saturday and it's suppose to get to about 81 degrees today and a bit muggy. May people play their best golf when they are loosened up. are you one of those people? If so today will be a perfect day for you to come to Walsh Golf Center. Learn, practice, play...that is our motto.

I feel like challenging everyone. Not sure why but I want to do something different so I am going to think about it a few days then post it. So if you want to help me come up with one, stop in and tell me what kind of challenge you would put out there for golfers? Improve game by 5 strokes, golf 7 days a week, hit a bucket of balls 2x a week with your 7 iron...who knows it could be anything. I might challenge you to wear a green shirt on Fridays. Really I just am not sure...so give me ideas!
