I use a push cart in the summer. Actually, I have used a push cart for 20 years in the summer. I find that using this very important piece of equipment I am able to play my best golf in the heat of the summer. Of course I think my three-wheeled cart is the best, but my friend Blair uses a four-wheeled cart and says it is the cats pajamas. I am not convinced because I pushed his bucket of bolts and it was a tough grind.

My regular group of players like to participate in Men’s Night and Senior Men’s morning.

I think this process is folly, but not my place to comment on their own path to success.

I mentioned playing in my first charity scramble yesterday in support of the North Bay Humane Society. This event is called the Monaghan and Furry Friends Scramble. It was held at Osprey Links Golf Course and again I can say that I was not disappointed.
