Ahhhhhh.... despite the sunburns and the few missed putts, it's always nice to come home after 36 holes of golf, especially when it's still March. And wait, that's the third day this week... :pig Once again, Anderson Park on Base Borden is the first course open in the area and has been so for a...

G'day! I've been buming around Australia the last few weeks and so glad I brought my clubs along. My friend lives in Newcastle which is about 2 hours north of Sydney. I used his place as a base for my travels. I don't know how they make money running the golf courses. Here are the courses I...

I'm going to be spending the better part of 2 weeks in NS this summer, mostly around Halifax with friends, but will also travel to the Cabot Trail area (in this area where's the most economical but nice place to stay with wife and three kids who don't golf?). So, where are the must-play...

Prompted to write this after reading a piece by Scotty Cameron in March. Our foursome went to MBSC for the second time this year in April.
