The dog days of Summer!

Well...it's here....we all asked for it!  A dry hot and humid summer is what we have been waiting for after two, what I will call BRUTAL summers and yet I still hear people complain!

How quickly we forget...come on people, grab your clubs get to the course and play because pretty soon we will have frost delays and wind-chills and four layers of clothing.

Golf is the perfect summer time, hot weather sport.  You can drive to the ball, you can bring towels and cold cloths and park in the shade.  Every half hour or so, someone drives over and asks you if you want a drink.  You can start as sun and be done before it really gets hot, so don't give us this excuse that it is too hot!!!

We only have 34 days until Labour Day!!!  Don't wait to play those extra few rounds....there is something to be said of playing in shorts, having a cold drink, letting your back relax in the heat and feeling the ball fly! Yet it doesn't last that long.  We would kill for this kind of weather on vacation yet when it is here everyday we crank our AC units to the max and hide in the basement for relief.

Get out and play and enjoy the dog days of summer because old man winter gets closer every day

Tom Vanderlip has been the General Manager at Peninsula Lakes Golf Club since 2003. Prior to this he was the Director of Golf at Copper Creek Golf Club during their first season and a half of operation.

Tom began his golf career at the Tyandaga Municipal Golf Course in Burlington in 1989 until 1992. In 1992 a great opportunity presented itself, so he moved to assist with the opening of new high end equity course called Heron Point Golf Links located just outside of Ancaster. Following six years as an Assistant Professional at Heron Point he became the Head Professional in 1998.

After two great years as the Head Professional at Heron Point, he was given the opportunity to be part of the opening team at King’s Riding Golf Club in King City. Thomas McBroom had been commissioned by ClubLink Corporation to rebuild what was previously known as the Aurora Highlands Golf Course, but would now be a high end private golf club located on Bathurst St that would be renamed King Riding Golf Club.

Born and raised in Burlington Ontario, Tom has been a Golf Professional for over twenty years and has enjoyed every minute of it. He now oversees a staff of more than 100 people and is committed to providing everyone that visits Peninsula Lakes with a fabulous golf or dining experience.

Tom is married and has two beautiful children. His son Jaxon is four years old and has already broken 100 and his daughter Devyn, is seven months old. She will begin working on her golf grip next month. Neither of them will feel any pressure from their father to play golf!
