La Tempete Golf Club Hole by Hole
The people of Quebec have had a love affair with golf since Royal Montreal opened as the first golf course in North America in 1873. Thankfully the days of segregation when the Anglos played at English speaking courses and the Quebecois at French speaking ones are pretty well long gone. Golf is a game that […]

Myrtle Beach Golf – Enjoy the Late Fall Season
Myrtle Beach golf courses are legendary both for their sheer numbers in such a small area and their relative affordability. However, it’s no secret that the golf business in North America is in decline overall for a number of reasons, but primarily because of demographics.

Caledonia Golf and Fish Club – Hole by Hole
Just finished a nine course visit to South Carolina and this is my first post on the courses we played. I found Caledonia Golf and Fish Club to be exceptional enough to rate a hole-by-hole description with accompanying photographs.

Cabot Cliffs – Why It’s Canada’s #1 Golf Course
This post first appeared after playing Cabot Cliffs in September, 2016. In September of 2020 Alison and I returned, taking along our daughter Lenore who, although not a regular golfer wanted desperately to play the two world top 100 courses at Cabot Links. She even took a couple of lessons from Kyle Scott, one of the […]

This week I flew up to Charlotte from Florida to watch the Carolina Panthers eke out a win over the Seattle Seahawks with my friend Brian MacLellan. After that, our plans were to play at least two rounds of golf at the famous Pinehurst golf courses in the North Carolina sandhills, but due to the possibility of inclement […]

Ardglass -The Greatest Course You’ve Never Heard Of
It’s with a twinge of sadness I’m writing this post, because it is the last on my long anticipated Irish golf odyssey. These trips are like watching a speeding car come at you down a long flat highway – it seems to take forever to get there, but once it does it roars past in […]

Royal County Down – Playing the # 1 Course on the Planet
Yesterday we played Rory McIlroy’s home course Holywood, just outside Belfast and afterwards we headed for the resort town of Newcastle, not far from the Irish border. It has a lovely location on the Irish Sea at the base of the Mourne Mountains, the highest in Northern Ireland, and the place where many of the […]

Holywood Golf Club – Why You Must Play Rory’s Home Course
This is day 6 of the Irish golf trip with myself and seven friends from Maritime Canada and as Monty Python would say, “Now for something completely different”. We are headed for Holywood Golf Course in the Belfast suburb of Holywood (pronounced Hollywood and not holey-wood) which is the home course of sometime world number […]
