LAMPMAN - The Lampman Golf Course was ready to go May 1 for all the eager golfers.

Club president Blaise Fornwald is looking forward to a busy year. He has held the president position for over 10 years, and the course has been in operation since the mid-80’s.

The greens are a mixed blend of grasses for easy maintenance, and they do not use tarps over the winter, but in the spring, irrigation is turned on to keep the grass in tip-top shape.

Artificial turf makes for easier upkeep, as one employee is hired for grass cutting and tree trimming. The rest of the work is done by six dedicated volunteers.

With the course open seven days a week and from dusk to dawn, an honour system is used with a pay box at the clubhouse. The clubhouse is always open during golfing for customers to use the restrooms. They also have five golf carts for everyone’s convenience.

The nine-hole course saw a steady flow of people and tournaments last year, and Fornwald is hoping for the same this year.

Fornwald said they may plan a Father’s Day tournament, but nothing has been finalized as of yet.

Starting on May 24, and throughout the golfing season, they will hold a fun night of golfing every Wednesday night.

Since the clubhouse has a barbecue, it will be bring your own meat, but salads, drinks and condiments will be supplied for a small fee.

This event is for everyone. Bring your family and friends to enjoy an evening out. It is an opportunity to meet new people within and around the community, said Fornwald.

The clubhouse is not staffed but is used regularly. It can be rented for family reunions, birthday parties or anniversaries, plus it has a large barbecue outside.

Fornwald said they still have room for tournaments. He is hopeful for another successful year on the greens in Lampman.
