Happy Canada Day in 2022
The first of July is special to all Canadians because it is Canada’s Birthday.
It is time to get back to normal and start visiting all the awesome places Canada has to offer. I think that is the best present we could give to this great country. It is so beautiful, it is meant to be enjoyed!
Canada is 155 years young! As a Canadian, I have so much to be grateful for; I believe that Canada offers more to its citizens than any country in the world. We are not the biggest, richest, nor most influential, but in my opinion, we are the best! After spending 36 years of my life protecting this great country, I still marvel at its majestic and pristine beauty.
Happy Canada Day!
I am a grateful Canadian!
Is There More To Life Than Golfing?
If you ask many golfers, I am confident a large percentage would say No! Some days Inwould be one of those golfers, but in reality my interests are evolving. Mostly, my interests revolve around doing things with my best friend and wife.
The activity we love to do is kayaking. This is nothing new, but this the season.
We try to kayak for about an hour. It gives us time to chat, talk and be in the moment. The best part of our fun activity is spending time together being grateful.
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!

I found it very interesting because it filled in a few knowledge gaps and misconceptions about the interrelationship between stats and scores. If you have not read it, I encourage you do to so.

After thousands of rounds of golf, I thought that there was very little left to accomplish given my skill level. Well, last Thursday during in our scramble Men’s Night competition I reached a new milestone. The four man scramble was played at the Mattawa Golf and Ski Resort, my home course. When we first started playing, Mike, Barry, Charlie and I had hopes of playing well because of the favourable scoring conditions. And score well we did. Starting at the first hole, we played golf at a higher level than normal; Ii was very exciting and a great deal of fun. I am grateful I was able to participate is that magical round.
