I played Fox Run Golf Course earlier in the season and really enjoyed myself. I played the course mid-week with a friend. The course was fairly slow, and very quiet. We played at our own pace, never feeling rushed or like we were rushing anyone, which can be a nice change of pace from weekend play at a busy course.

I don't know if you know this, but there is sand on a golf course... And it isn't there for you to set up a towel and relax on.

Ok, I am being a little facetious. I think we all have hit the bunkers once or twice in our life. And if you haven't yet. You will! Sorry.

Check out the video by Phil Mickelson after the break.

You may not know it but I've been very busy over the past 2 years putting my thoughts and ideas together in a book about Golf. I am very proud of the results and in order to market the publication, I am asking friends and family to be the first to own a copy. Here's the Table of Contents from my new book, "Winning Golf Strategies," which I believe gives the reader valuable playing tips and insider information that I've gained through my own years of experience in the game and observations of my golfing partners.

Many of you who are reading this were major contributors to the book.  In honor of our agreement I am not mentioning your names, but still want to acknowledge my gratitude!  Thank you, (you know who you are)...Sincerely... Thank You!
 

On a trip down to Calgary, we had the pleasure of golfing at Silverwing Golf Course. This is one of the newer courses in Calgary, located on the North end of the city. We golfed this course midday on a Friday after it had rained the day before.

The course had lots to love with not much to complain about. The first thing you notice when pulling up is the beautiful layout of the front walkway and clubhouse. Which might not tell you about the golf course specifically, but it adds to the overall experience.

I had the chance to play Edmonton Springs Golf Resort earlier this season, but haven’t had a chance to write a review until now. It was back in June that I played the course, before the Edmonton and area Golf Courses got all the rain.

There was a lot I liked about the golf course. It also helped that I was in a really good mood that day. It was +25C out and we only called that morning for a tee time. Luckily for us another group cancelled and our 3-some got on at around noon.
