The TENNIS FACILITY is now operational so feel free to come out and enjoy a match.

Starting today the new StrikeGuard Lightning Early Warning system is being installed which should be fully operational by next week.  The system will automatically sound the newly installed sirens when lightning is detected within 8 kilometers of the course.  After the siren has sounded, a strobe will keep flashing until the 'all clear' signal has gone off - when there has been no lightning stirikes within 8 kilometers for 30 minutes.
