    Bear Sighting!!

    Just wanted to let everyone know - while about to tee off on the back nine, we saw a black bear running across the 10th fairway, chasing some Canada Geese, at the Marshes .... Yes, the Marshes, on Saturday afternoon. Went off toward the big black building and parking lot to the left of the 10th hole, and we didn't see it again. Been playing around Ottawa for 40 years, and first time I saw a bear in town!!

    Are you sure it wasn't Jack ?
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

    Bear Sighting

    Pretty sure, it was black bear, not golden and I don`t think Jack would be chasing geese for a snack. He doesn't move that good anymore.

    All I gotta do is outrun you, not the bear.
