For all my friends outside of the greatest country in the world 😉 golfing in Canada would be an experience of your life. Okay, this might be an overstatement….well actually it is not. We have some of the greatest golf courses in the world and you can play them without a challenge. Personally, I am biased when I suggest that Canada offers awesome golfing experiences and they are there for your playing pleasure.

Care and maintenance of a golf course is an easy thing, right? Well, think about your yard and the amount of work (or not) you perform to keep it looking beautiful.

Are you the type of sports fan who gets tired from jumping on and off the bandwagon. Do you shift your allegiance from one team to another depending on who is playing well at the time. I ask this question for a friend 😉 All joking aside, this is a favourite sport of many armchair athletes because the have a compulsion to be on the winning side. I have never felt that way, but from time to time will adjust the size of my cheerleading circle as I lose interest in the success of a player. I consider it an evolution in my support that happens slowly. How about you?
