Father's Day weekend activities 2016

Saturday of Father's Day weekend is the day that we play the Glendale version of the US Open. It's the one day per year where we set up the course as long as it can play with very difficult (but fair) hole locations. Green speed depends a lot on the previous week's weather and we've had rain two days this week so we'll do everything we can to make them speedy fast. We don't let the rough grow tall because we always have other events in the days following and it would take us until the middle of next week to get it knocked down again. I'll go out with Kenney our head pro and decide on the hole placements. We usually come up with some locations that would "test" even the best golfers so make sure you're here to have the most "enjoyable" round of the year.

 It's time to load up the kids and grand kids and come out to Glendale for our annual Father's Day brunch and fishing derby this Sunday, June 19th. Bring your pole and favorite lure or use one of the 14 poles we have ready for action. There will also be bait provided that will almost guarantee a catch. We stocked the pond two weeks ago with 400 rainbow Trout; 200 9-10", and 200 12". There are also some "lunkers" that are holdovers from last year which are in the 17-18" range. The fish shown below looks to me like it's over 12" so the anglers should have a great time fishing.  

I've seen fish fly at the Pike Place Fish Market, but never like the flying fish in the photo above. Just make sure that you tell your kids to hold on tight to their pole because if they hook one of the big ones, their pole could go for a swim!
