Happy Holidays 2009
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the clubhouse Not a soft spike was stirring, nor a wireless mouse; The stockings were hung in the proshop with care, In hopes that Jack Nicklaus soon might be there; And golfers were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of albatrosses danced in their heads; And drivers in headcovers, and a brand new chrome gap, Had just settled down for that long winter’s nap, When out on the...

Canadians Leave a Mark on Tour in 2009
To coincide with our magazine feature on Canadians out on tour, we thought we’d present a little recap of the number of wins out on the major tours in 2009. The big tours looked like nil-nil situation, but fortunately Stephen Ames put an end to that with his late season victory at Disney.

Islington Golf Club steps up to assist Canadian Open
The 2010 RBC Canadian Open, to be hosted by the St. George’s Golf and Country Club July 19-25, was an event without an on-site practice facility. With rumours of area school grounds and local parks as possible locations for the players to warm up, hit balls and ready themselves for their rounds, the logistics sounded somewhat bizarre and complicated. And then, up steps the Islington Golf Club. Located about two kilometres south of St. George’s... [ Read Full Article ]
