Last month, May 15, my VP of Ski and Golf, Johan de Deugd and I, had the opportunity to attend the celebration of the
beginning of the golfing season at Kananaskis Golf Course.
We began the day, with 18
holes of magnificent golf, as these photos will attest.
Immaculate fairways, summer weather (25 - 27 C) and excellent
greens. Afterwards, we were treated to cold drinks and a huge
variety of hors-d'oeuvres and entrees. What a start to the
season!
Mike, one of the managers
who joined us said the greens were coming in better than he had
seen in a decade. What does this mean? We're going to have one of the best golfing
summers on record. |

The Canadian Rockies are truly one a
kind, whether it be for
golfing,
hiking,
skiing or simply
sightseeing.
This past weekend, I, my teenage
step-son and our neighbour, Joey O'Brien re-shingled the
roof of my 28-30 year-old house.
Even while my body argued against
the labour I asked of it, I still caught myself looking
in awe at the mountains surrounding me.
You can view this grandeur
yourself, by reviewing our latest
Luxury Golf Itinerary
that we recently posted online.
