Thanks to our partner Dave Lloyd from Cabo VIP for hosting us in Los Cabos and treating us to a night of vintage music and fish fingers at Cabo Wabo. Rocker Sammy Hagar put sleepy Los Cabos on the map with his fun restaurant and music. Golf courses like Quivira, Diamante and Cabo del Sol…
While spending time with family after attending my niece’s wedding, my sister took me over to the Cheese Roll Hill in Gloucester. Have you heard of it? What a wicked place to sever limbs. While at the bottom, I looked up, way up. Hmmm…Then my sisters and I trudged to the top. I crossed my…
The Calgary Stampede is iconic. How about spreading your wings and golfing from there? Play Heritage Pointe in the vicinity and then drive to the newly revamped courses in Kananaskis Country. Flat golf in an amphitheatre surrounded by mountains. Venture to Stewart Creek and undulating Silvertip in Canmore. Take a breath and view the Rockies….
Golf is part of the DNA of Scotland. Visit the Old at St Andrews and feel the ghosts. Have terrific soup in Royal Montrose’s ancient clubhouse and you will understand. Experience a solo bagpiper on the first tee and a Belhaven in the 18th century confines. Ireland is about the terrific people with a sly…
I wandered over to The Wee Snug Ale House to sip a Guinness or two before embarking on next day’s One Ocean Expeditions golf cruise of Eastern Canada. I was in luck as Kitchenfest, a week long tribute to Gaelic music was running throughout Cape Breton. After great Irish stew, a Guinness and Murphy’s (latter…
With the honeymoon continuing for Shane Lowry and Royal Portrush, I was pleasantly surprised to hear of a new course being built at Rosapenna in Donegal, Ireland. There is great golf in this quadrant of Ireland and now links golf will be added by this esteemed American course architect. Rosapenna, Ballyliffin, Narin and Portnoo and…
Kudos to One Ocean Expeditions in teaching me a new way to enjoy a golf trip by offering an Eastern Canadian golf cruise. You can land with rubber boots and rough weather gear after a choppy, 15 minute Zodiac ride and a short bus ride. How fun is that? The line-up of Cabot Links, Cabot…
No, this is not a new 50’s style band. However, Rory and hopefully the Raptors can sing Queen’s, “We are the Champions”. There was a love fest this past weekend in Hamilton for Rory. He flirted with 59 on the last day and “only” settled with a final round 61. Canadians enthusiastically cheered for him…
Cabot resides in Inverness. Not the capital of the Scottish Highlands where I just returned from visiting and playing with hickory golfers. No, Inverness in New Scotland or what we know as Nova Scotia. Cabot Links. Cabot Cliffs. The only two true links golf courses in Canada are now ranked in the top 100 in…
“We saw a bear at Nicklaus North this week”. I smiled with the thought of this truly Canadian golf experience. Garry and Rosemary were our guests for dinner travelling on a two month golf trip from Hawaii to Seattle and throughout Western Canada. The friendly Australians enjoyed Hotel Eldorado in Kelowna overlooking Lake Okanagan. Garry…
