Ontario Amateur

[Golfbum]

Some of you may know that the Ontario Amateur is being held this week at Redtail, which is located just south of where I live.
If you do not know anything about Redtail all I can say is this. It has 2 members, and they own it! It was built on a horse farm back in 1990. There are approx 100 members of the "Round Table" who are invited to play the course. Sean Connery has played there, along with Freddy Couples, Nick Price, Mario Lemuix, Wayne Gretzky etc etc.
The Queen stayed in one of the "Cottages" during her last visit to Canada. (The "Cottages" average 4000 square feet!)
If you wish to see some excellent photos of the course that were taken during the first two days of the tournament you can go to this link below. The photos were taken by a good friend of mine. Take a look and drool, we can only dream about playing this course! Actually you can play it if you have some connections.

So play is by request. Do the owners have so much money that they opened this course for themselves and not to generate revenue? What a life.....I hate them

They have more money than you and I will ever dream about having. And yes they built this course for their personal use, not to generate revenue.
When you build two "Cottages" that are close to 4000 sqaure feet in size it would appear that money is no object.

Anyone can have that life, the question is, are you willing to make the sacrifices to attain it?
