Changes to National Amateur Championships
Not really sure whether this is a positive note – or a more ‘sign-of-the-times’ negative one. Either way, there are changes in store for Canada’s national championships. Something, unfortunately, very few – outside of the participants – follow anyway. 1.3 million sure seems like a big annual number if you’ve ever attended one of these ‘volunteer run’ events.

Following the 910 Series Driver Comes Fairways and Hybrids
At the risk of sounding old fashioned, there just seems to be something viscerally iconic when it comes to power, speed, metal, man and the colour black. So for those of you who still like to take a little ‘mean’ out there with you onto the course, the 910 fairways and hybrids from Titleist pack loads of technology into that same intimidating design punch as the previously released 910 drivers. And, let us not forget, all of the modern... [Read More...]
Hadwin Has Won

Canadians Finish 8th at World Amateur Team Championship
When it comes the recent results of our two National Amateur Teams, one really can’t say we’ve ‘owned the podium’ so to speak – we haven’t. But Top 10s in both the women’s (7th) and men’s (8th) are really not all that bad either, all things considered. Guess it sort of depends on whether you’re the cup’s half empty or it’s half full type personality. For all of those qualitative... [Read More...]
