Wire-to-wire leader Nobelle Park takes a four-stroke lead into the final round of the Ontario Women's Amateur Championship Thursday at West Haven G&CC https://t.co/TD5tZAbkeo

Seeing the best amateurs in the province was cool. Seeing the team execute at a high level was even cooler. Hosting the @TheGolfOntario Women’s Amateur and Mid-Amateur is definitely a career highlight so far.

West Haven G&CC head golf super Joel Johnston says greens stimped at 11, sand added to (original) bunkers, just one full irrigation cycle '24 (lots of rain) Rene Muylaert design, 6,000 yds, par-72 @TheGolfOntario 109th Ontario Women's Am, Mid-Am

[Joel Johnston @johnstonjoel]

Amazing effort from our team on a difficult morning. The Ontario Women’s Amateur 3 days away, and last night we experienced 2 separate “Micro bursts” taking down several tree. Clean up is easier with a dedicated team.

Grateful to the staff member that 3D printed these cups protectors for hole painting and spraying. $0.50 a piece.

@kitchen_turf @TrevorMorvay @mleggturf @Bryce__Allan Thanks for having us!

Yesterday West Haven hosted the London District School Board Environmental Leadership Program.

It was exciting to teach the students about the positive environmental impact that golf courses make and possible careers in turf maintenance.

Looking forward to the 2025 class.

@ClayPayneTurf We had them made by a small local manufacturing shop.

[Joel Johnston @johnstonjoel]

Really excited about these custom made benches for 2024, made from on site lumber. Reducing the amount of accessories = increased quality of accessories.

[Joel Johnston @johnstonjoel]

Looking forward to hosting the best women in the province in 2024! @TheGolfOntario

[Joel Johnston @johnstonjoel]

@mleggturf @golfpridegrips Great pick up

[Joel Johnston @johnstonjoel]

My latest contribution to @ONCourseOGSA @OntarioGSA

This article was special because I wrote it with my friend Chris Lecour, and we talk about something that doesn’t get much attention.
