OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK 10AM TILL 5PM
08/21/17 6:51AM 55 degrees and partially cloudy skies. Noon forecast of 79 and mostly sunny with an almost zero per cent chance of rain. Careful if viewing the esclipse. Daytime high today of 83. Tuesday should have a high around 80 with the possibility of strong afternoon thunderstorms. Wednesday around 70 and not as warm with possible PM showers. We survived Boston with going to a game at Fenway and candlepin. Moved a lot of boxes and helped settle am apartment. Glad to be back in Osceola and normal routine.
08/20/17 7:04AM 60 degrees and mostly overcast. Noon forecast of 72 and mostly sunny with a 5% chance of rain during the noon hour. Daytime high of 76 and pleasant with lower humidity. Monday continues nice with a high of 83 and mostly sunny. Tuesday around 82 with a possible afternoon thunderstorm. Last night was my first game ever of candlepin. Best described as bowling with a bocce ball. Lots of fun - not much of a score. Remember, approved viewing glasses or TV for the esclipse.
08/19/17 7:18AM 65 degrees and mostly cloudy. Noon forecast of 73 and mostly cloudy with a 6% chance of rain during the noon hour. Daytime high of 75. Sunday looks like a nice day with 75 and mostly sunny. Monday similar with 83 and partly sunny. A fair amount of rain in the last 24 hours coming in at o.82 inch. Spent 4 hours plus in Boston last night at Fenway. Exciting game with standing room only crowd. After the Yankees rudely took 4 in a row from the Mets they lost last night to the Red Sox's 9-6.
07/04/17 HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA. Even with the dsyfunction in Washington, still the greatest place in the world to call home. Both parties get some of the credit. Time to get to work and not worry about just getting re-elected.
I missed the first anniversity of the Mesonet weather station on our premises. Installed / put in operation June 22, 2016. Check out all the available data at www.nysmesonet.org Click on live data - when the map comes up with many dots - play around until you find Osceola. 25 miles east of Lake Ontario, 50 miles NE of Syracuse and located between Redfield and Camden.
Big news - this will be our last season of disc golf in Osceola. The numbers, while still positive just do not justify me being tied up every weekend all summer. Grand kids and other time lost make this a difficult but I think correct choice. Courses will be open this year until Oct. 15th. As always all ski season members get a free disc golf membership. All discs, accessories and targets are 50% off. All targets on the course can be reserved for pick up after Oct. 16th with a $10 deposit. With this $10 deposit you can golf all summer for free. Innova Pro 28 targets price $425 with 50% off $212. Innova Discathers targets reg. price $199 with 50% off $99. Buy three or more targets and get them for $199 and $94 respectively. Buy 18 and get them for $185 and $89 each.
We have replaced a car pool page on our website ( not enough people used ) and replaced with a T-Shirt sayings page. If you know of any non-derogatory T-Shirt sayings e-mail me with them and I will place on this new page.

If you golf when the pro shop is not open, the kiosk at the first hole on the south (lodge) side of the road has course maps, scorecards and pencils.

We have a wide selection of discs for sale or rent, along with misc. bags, accessories etc.
APPOINTMENTS AT OFF HOURS ARE NOT A PROBLEM, BUT YOU WOULD NEED TO CALL FIRST TO MAKE SURE THAT I WILL BE AROUND.
We groom with an Alpina Sherpa. This is a 1.6L, 4 cylindar truck on a snowmobile frame. An Italian made machine designed for pulling and climbing in the Alps. This machine produces 75HP and 82 lb-ft.
One of the main advantages we have in Osceola Is a wealth of fresh soft snow. At 0.38 pounds per square inch ground pressure the Shepa allows us the abilty to groom - renovate - pack any amount of snow. This lets our skiing stay firm to the ski for skate skiing. Set track for classic and no rug burns for those inadvertant sudden stops (falls). More specs. and pictures on www.alpinasnowmobiles.com
I use a Yellowstone 84 inch Ginzu groomer. With 250 pounds of down pressure we have the ability to smooth out all snow regardless of the age. The Alpina is 1180 pounds dry weight, the Ginzu groomer is 330 pounds. To give you a feel for the size of this equipment, the work class snowmobile from Bombardier the Skandic super wide track is 650 pounds. Two passes on all the trails with a touch of overlap gives you trail widths of 12 to 14 foot with classic track and skate lanes. www.yellowstonetrack.com
04/16/14 7:25AM Closed for the ski season. 3 inches of fresh snow this morning. 0k open for skiing. Thanks for your support. Hope to see you for disc golf in June or next year skiing. 308 inches for the season.
