Today is make your own luck day, enjoy and make it perpetual!

How to make your own luck…

Stay focused, distractions cause mistakes , mistakes take time to correct so keep your eye on the proverbial ball.

Be optimistic ” its an ill wind that blows no one some good “! Look for the good in trouble and be on the right end of the good part.

There is no end to your work , no arrival, it all begins again in some way so don’t waste time on giving up.

See your self as a success! If you don’t , who will? …

Be kind ,every where, harsh works come back at some time ” every dog gets its day”!

The Merritt Golf and Country Club is scheduled to close for the winter on October 23 rd .The Club House  has been open for Christmas shopping in past years in December and for the Annual meeting.

The club is on City property.

A lot of volunteer labor went into the club and some buildings were acquired from the old Craigmont Mines operation. Some of the mine employees and managers were good steady members of the operation.

The weather is great here in Merritt and the colour of fall makes a visual feast.

The Nicola Valley Golf and Country Club makes allowances for weather to being open during the declining fall. There are many glorious days to golf each fall .

Indian summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs in autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. The US National Weather Service defines this as weather conditions that are sunny and clear with above normal temperatures, occurring late-September to mid-November. It is usually described as occurring after a killing frost. source Wikipedia

The local GM dealer is having a golf tournament on the weekend. Local links are 9 holes with a back 9 for 18. The club house has room for about 250 people. The course includes the Nicola River and is a pleasant venue that sometimes has a   blue heron, fox, and a deer with two fawns to add to the experience.
