Crowsnest Pass Golf Course in Alberta
Crowsnest Pass is one of the high mountain passes through the Rocky Mountains in western Canada. It is located very near the Alberta/British Columbia border in the southern part of the two provinces.
The pass itself is essentially a valley running east-west with the Crowsnest River flowing east into Alberta and Summit lake draining out through the Elk River to the west and eventually into the Columbia River.
This area is historically significant because the first transcontinental rail line, the Canadian Pacific, was pushed through the pass in the 1890s as a pre-condition of B.C. ente...

Planning A Golf Trip to Southern Alberta
Feb 11, 2007 - Linknet Golf >>>
Well, here we are in the deepest part of February '07, and I'm thinking about golf. We're trying to decide whether to head over to Scotland again for a golf holiday this summer, spend a week in Cape Breton at Highlands Links, or make the trek to Alberta to do a little foothills golf.
Alberta has the upper hand at the moment. Judy spent a few years in southern Alberta near the little town of Brocket so if it's Alberta we choose, we'll likely be heading to the southwest corner of the province. That would be south and west of Calgary.
But what about golf in...

Blue Springs Golf and Country Club in Acton, Ontario, Canada - photos by Aaron Stanger
Here are some photos taken by my nephew, Aaron Stanger, during a round we played back in May at Blue Springs Golf and CC in Acton, Ontario. Blue Springs was my home course for quite a few years, so I know it rather well -- must have played about 500 rounds on this really great course. As you can tell from the photos, it was a foggy day. The en...
Grey Silo, Waterloo, Ontario, October 8, 2006
Oct 8/06 - The WEG - This Thanksgiving weekend in Ontario turned out to be one of the nicest long weekends of the entire year, so it was a perfect opportunity to drive down the road to Grey Silo in Waterloo and take some photos. By the time Judy and I got to the course it was just about 5 pm -- not long enough to play a round -- so we decided to just walk as much of the course as we had time for.
Grey Silo is a fairly new course -- opened just four or five years ago -- and is owned by the City of Waterloo. So it is spartan when compared to your typical new private or semi-private course th...
Dakota Dunes, Near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
See more golf course features at Golf Travel.
A few days into our Saskatchewan trip last summer (July 2005) we headed up the road towards Saskatoon to play the new golf course called Dakota Dunes. This course is located on the Whitecap Dakota First Nation lands in the impressive sand dunes beside the South Sasktchewan River.
Dakota Dunes was selected by Golf Digest as the best new Canadian course of 2005. I don't know about all the rest of them, but this course is pretty impressive.
Like many new courses being built these days, Dakota Dunes is a "links style" course. This one is the ...
Glen Abbey, Oakville, Ontario, October 2006
Oct 7/06 - The Weg - Here are some pics from two recent rounds at Glen Abbey in Oakville, Ontario.
Glen Abbey was designed by Jack Nicklaus in 1976 for the Royal Canadian Golf Association. It was intended to serve as the more or less permanent home of the Canadian Open, and has in fact hosted that event many times since then. The last Open held at the Abbey was in 2004 when Vijay Singh narrowly won over Mike Weir.
Glen Abbey is now owned by Club Link and who continue to operate it as a public course. The property is also home to the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and the RCGA headquarters.

Glencairn Photos October 1, 2006
Fritz and I played Glencairn near Milton (Ontario) this afternoon (Sunday, October 1/06), and although it was quite cloudy and windy early on, it was a great fall day without any rain. Later in the afternoon the sky turned blue and the sun came out.
Glencairn is a "links" style course with deep pot bunkers, long fescue, and hard, fast fairways. Unfortunately the fairways have been a bit mushy for the last couple of weeks due to the abundant rain we've had during most of September.
The fall colours have not been as spectacular this year as the past few years, but very beautiful nonetheless...

Why Golf is Better Than Other Sports
Here's a long list of reasons why golf is "better" than other sports.
Technorati Profile
No Backswing Backswing
I've seen this approach to pre-setting the club in the 3/4 backswing position. It makes a lot of sense to me.
If pre-setting the bat is OK for baseball players why isn't it for golfers? I think it's because golfers think there is some magic in the path of the club going back - and so many golf teachers reinforce that (erroneous?) idea.
Obviously what matters is where...

Indoor Golf Trainer Can Help With Your Swing
Many weekend golfers are told they will not improve if they do not play more than once a week. There is obviously something to that, but a golfer does not have to actually play rounds of golf to work on his or her golf swing.
With one swing on the Dancin Dogg golf simulator you'll learn more about why your shots do what they do than with any other simulator on the market.

Some Golf Pics - Banff Springs
I finally got around to looking through some of the pics I took of our golf trip to Alberta this summer. Hey, it's only been about 5 months! Judy wanted to send her dad some of the pics so she forced me to look through them and get some prints. I hope to do a feature on the four different courses we managed to play at during our 10 day trip. Here's a few from Banff Springs, the famous Stanley T...
This May Never Happen Again
Our regular foursome plays Glen Abbey just about every Saturday morning and we usually honour really memorable shots as "shot of the day" - informally of course, no points are awarded for shot of the day.
Well last Saturday I hit what may be the shot of the year. It was a dream scenario. We were on #7 which is a "simple" par 3 if you hit it right, but a sure double if you don't. We were hittin...

A Bit of Success is a Good Thing
Last night Judy and I headed out to Glencairn to hit some balls on the range. It was a beautiful evening and when we got there around 7 there were only 3 or 4 other ball strikers going at it.
This was pretty unusual. Judy has never been much for hitting balls on the range. But on Sunday after our family outing at Blue Springs we stuck around for a while on the range there. She started having r...
Amanda Learns the "Poop" Swing
Sunday just happened to be Father's Day. But even more importantly it was Judy's birthday - and a fairly remarkable one at that. So we got the family together for a little golf outing at one of our favourite places - Blue Springs in Acton, Ontario.
This was the first time we'd all been golfing together in quite a few years. And it was definitely the first time we'd played with Peter's kids, ...

Why Dave Pelz Concentrates on the Short Game
Feb 6, 2005, Author: Rick Hendershot
Pelz stopped looking at the swing and started looking at where the balls were landing. And we're not just talking about a relatively superficial interest in things like "fairways hit", or "greens in regulation".

What's So Important About Hogan's Rubber Bands?

The more "natural" inclination is to get your hands out away from the body on the downswing -- to throw them at the ball. Hogan's "rubber bands" are an attempt to keep them in tight.

The Golfing in Ireland Really is Tremendous
Feb 9, 2005, Author: Rick Hendershot
After planning a golf trip to Ireland for almost 18 months, Judy and I finally got there this July (2004). Our conclusion: Ireland is a wonderful place to visit, and golfing in Ireland is pretty incredible.
Our First Golf Trip to Scotland
Dec 5, 2004, Rick Hendershot
My real objective in this, our first trip to Scotland, was to visit the famous links at Royal Dornoch three or so hours north of Edinburgh, and Macrahanish over on the Mull of Kintyre about as close to Ireland as you can get on mainland Scotland. We managed to accomplish both of these objectives, and see quite a few of the sites along the way.

Swing Tips: Yes, You Can Hit it Out of the Water
Feb 9, 2005, Author: Rick Hendershot
If you're like most weekend golfers, when your ball goes in the water you assume it is unplayable. But in this short clip from the classic 1930s Bobby Jones movie called A Round of Golf, Jones demonstrates how easy it is to hit out of the water
I Presume to Comment on Bobby Jones' Swing
Dec 3, 2004,
Author: Rick Hendershot
Bobby Jones' full swing is not nearly as old-fashioned looking as we might think. In fact, I think the fluidity, grace, and power of his full swing actually call into question some of the more important dogmas of modern teachers.

I discovered the Bobby Jones films from the 1930s shortly before the Golf Channel started running. They struck me as incredibly insightful and beautifully produced. Hopefully the over-exposure of these films on the Golf Channel will not diminish their unique character and special status as some of the earliest and best instructional material ever produced. Here are some comments on the background to the films... |
