The results from last Thursday’s senior two person scramble was not what Blair and I expected. It was very windy and cool which impacted our ability to hit reasonable approach shots. Although our golf was not spectacular, our round was still an excellent experience. The main reason for such a fun round was our playing partners Dean Falconi and Sheldon Masson. From the moment we teed off, our round was full of laughter and good times. Although our playing was not as expected, the great chemistry our group made the round worth every moment.

Playing In A Two Person Scramble At Osprey Links
Today I am playing in a two person scramble with my friend Blair. This is not the first time we teed it up in a tournament and hopefully, it will not be our last. We compliment each others game, however this year there is a new wrinkle that could help or hinder our success. The senior scramble hosted by Osprey Links Golf Course in Callander, Ontario, is a must attend event. Jeff and his team always run a great event and I looking forward to a great golf experience. With the new wrinkle, our strategy will change in order to accommodate for the possibility of something magical happening.

The first official round of the 2026 Northern Hickory Tour took place last Friday at the Osprey Links Golf Course.

Osprey Links is a must stop location for the Northern Tour and again this year the course did not disappoint. Osprey Links is a must play course if you are in the area of North Bay, Ontario, as it offers a unique opportunity to play a links style course on the front and typical northern design cut through the Great Canadian Shield.

The past week of golf was a great one! As my mid season form is improving, I played three times in three different events. It was a fun week and I learned a great deal about my game. Mostly, to stop overswinging and let the club do most of the work. Does that sound familiar? Regardless of your woes, I am sure you have sparks of greatness and increased fun from time to time. That was my week!

Today was an awesome day on the golf course. My long time friend, Blair, and I played one of the few rounds of the year at his home course of Osprey Links Golf Course in Callander, Ontario, Canada. It is a unique course with a links style front nine and a ‘cut through the forest’ back nine. I was my home course for many years and now it is a gem I like to play a few times a year. Interestingly, and the reason for my blog, the conditions at Osprey Links is completely different than that of my home course; Mattawa Golf and Ski Resort. What an adventure is all I have to say!
