A realistic representation of the interaction of the arctic front with the South Coast on Thursday-Friday. Initial convergence is highlighted, and then the clash of outflows in the Georgia Strait creates strait-effect snow. #BCSnow

Quite the southeasterly gale for Victoria this afternoon & evening. Gusts over 90 km/h are possible in the red-highlighted areas! #BCStorm

Unfortunately, I think we're looking at some power outages across the South Coast leading up to Christmas Dinner. The Gulf Islands, the Comox area, and Greater Victoria will be susceptible to wind gusts up to 90 km/h later Christmas Day. #BCStorm

Y’all ready for the annual course closure event at arbutus ridge? October 12th. Free food, free golf, and some other stuff from our sponsors. This years topic is gonna be grief. We’ve all had it, but do we know how to deal with it?

The outpouring of support for our family over the last few weeks has been overwhelming. My Dad touched a lot of lives in and out of the turf industry. There will be a Celebration of Life for him at Gorge Vale Golf Club on January 29th at 3pm.

I've become more concerned about flooding across Vancouver Island. There's a significant mudslide risk along Highway 4 as a frontal system stalls and advects moisture north from California and the tropics. Higher terrain of Van Island up to 300 mm through Saturday! #BCStorm
