Season of 1sts

[Sakuraba]

After defeating Hoolio in the fun day match, I looked back on 2007 as a good season of 1sts. Unfortunately, my index stagnated for the 1st time since 2001, but I'm particularly happy about the number of top notch area courses I got to play for the 1st time (in order that I played them):

Maple View
Heritage
Outaouais
Montebello
White Tail
Deep River
Rideauview

With the possible exception of Maple View (it was late march & we played the front 9 twice, so I can't make a fair assesment) I would consider all the courses top notch. In fact, how am I going to be able to top this list next season?

Anybody else hit up this many new area courses for the 1st time this year?

Well I played Outaouais, Eagle Creek and Anderson for the first time this year. Played all three this week. ,as well as playing Emerald Links. I could hardly hit a ball by the last game I was so tired. Oh dear! I am getting old. Definately fun though.

Outaouais and Eagle Creek are absolutely gorgeous courses. Stunning really.

I also visited Rideauview. I looks like a beautiful course too and the facilities are nice. It would be the one I would probably want to join as it is very close to me.

But no, not as many new ones as you.

You should also try beating hoolio, it was almost as nice as Rideauview

Although not necessarily in the area I have played (or will by the end of the weekend) 9 new courses this year:

Greystone
Glencairn
King Valley
Wyndance
Cherry Downs
Blue Springs
Fontainebleau
Le Maitre
Rivermead

Also got to revisit some I had not seen in years:

Outaouais
Sand Point

Fally told me your group was playing behind us.. So which one was trying to skip his ball across the lake from the penisula on the 18th?

I dumped two in there. I think Hoolio put one in there. We were just fooling around as the match was over. Forum legend Palmerisking I think got on in 2. They were playing the tips too (hoolio & palmerisking)

My 1sts this year were:

- Glencairn
- Greystone
- Country Club (both courses)
- National Pines
- Islesmere (Red/Blue)
- Grand Niagara
- Thundering Waters

I guess you club link members really get to enjoy this aspect of your membership. I'm surprised my 7 new courses in one season has been eclipsed by one member and equalled by another.

Hey I wasn't fooling around, I was just lucky enough to hit my 4th (or was it 5th) top of the day. I'm just that good!

It's definitely one of the perks: "more golf". Don't feel bad, LBH and I qualify pretty easily as serious Golf 's

That is a nice list of firsts for sure (with one or two exceptions), especially the first 4. I have not played SG, but everything I have heard is good.
