It’s Tougher Now For Many Of Us To Get Away And Play Competitively

February 11, 2016 By Kyle German

I’m probably playing half of what I used to play competitively a few years ago. We have so many events at the club here that is tough to get away for many of the big events that go on around the country. It depends on what roles people have in their jobs. Self-employed teaching pros […]

February 10, 2016 By Kyle German

Monday was our Family Day here and we were treated to glorious sunshine and temperatures around 15 C. People were playing in short sleeves.

February 1, 2016 By Kyle German

I have friends who are in the food and beverage industry outside the golf industry and it’s a scary place to be these days with the price of food going through the roof. As much as they don’t necessarily want to, they have to change their menus, redo pricing and offer less in the way […]

Pro-Am Offers The Perfect Opportunity For Valuable Family Time

December 10, 2015 By Kyle German

I’ve taken part in the Vay K Pro-Am several times over the years, six days at the Fairmont Kea Lani in Maui, four rounds of golf and done in a way, especially for golf pros, that’s extremely affordable for where it’s played. It’s also done in a way that allows pros like myself to make […]

We Don’t Want History To Repeat Itself With Water Restrictions, But We Need To Be Prepared

December 7, 2015 By Kyle German

We started with a great spring. Play was up, people were happy and then, they turned the water off on us, closed the taps, but even though much of the golf course was brown and dormant, people were still playing because we were still able to keep the greens in good shape. We never got […]

December 2, 2015 By Kyle German

This week, the Paris climate conference is in the headlines and it’s something that everybody, including the golf industry, should be keeping an eye on.

Weather Is Causing Increased Rounds, But Long-Term Effect Could Be Positive

August 4, 2015 By Kyle German

As the numbers across the country have indicated, our rounds are up considerably at Point Grey and I think weather is a huge factor. Our season has been two-and-a-half months longer than usual to this point. We get members around here saying that they’re tired, which isn’t really a surprise since a lot of them […]

What An Outstanding Start To The Season

May 18, 2015 By Kyle German

I’ve been working since last Tuesday here at Point Grey Golf and Country Club and the weather has been perfect for golf, really indicative of the way the season has started.

Despite Dealing With A Storm’s Aftermath, People Kept An Eye on The News

October 22, 2014 By Kyle German

I got to work about 7:30 a.m. our time and about 8, we turned the TV on and saw what was happening in Ottawa on Wednesday. I have complete respect and admiration for all soldiers. Flying through the U.S. to play tournaments, you see a lot of service men and women at airports, particularly in […]
