When you do what I do for a living and your day starts around 4:am, it means you’re sometimes available in the afternoon to do any variety of things including popping out to the local golf course for a quick 9. Such was the case many years ago when on a particularly lovely Spring day I found myself at the golf course looking to get some fresh air and kill a couple of hours.
\nI birdied the first hole … then the second, parred the 3rd and then birdied 4 and 5. After 5 holes, I was 4 under.
\nI believe I finished that round somewhere around 8 or 10 OVER!!\u00a0 After a disastrous 6 and 7, I somehow lost the scorecard.<\/p>\n
Golf is a beautiful but sometimes cruel mistress. I don’t really entertain thoughts of ever being great at golf. Like most things, you get out of it what you put into it.<\/p>\n
It is though a favourite pastime of mine. It can be social or not, it’s great low impact exercise and something you can do at 9 or 90 yrs old. You can get lots of fresh air and we have dozens of incredible places to play here in Midwestern Ontario.<\/p>\n
Today, a chat with Gary and Lynne Gravett who owned and operated the Sunset Golf Course<\/a> just north of Goderich for many years. It’s probably the course I’ve played most in my lifetime whether with friends or in any one of many charity golf tourneys.<\/p>\n LISTEN HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n FYI … Gary & Lynne have invited Milli and myself out for a round sometime soon. (I dunno what they’re thinking?!?!) We’ll hopefully add a bit to the photoblog after that. For now, here are a few pics and some very old memories.<\/p>\n [gallery ids=”13681,13682,13689,13692,13680,13684,13679,13690,13693,13691″]<\/p>\n Goderich Sunset Golf Course LINKS:\u00a0 \u00a0WEBSITE<\/a> –\u00a0 FACEBOOK<\/a>\u00a0 –\u00a0 INSTAGRAM<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you do what I do for a living and your day starts around 4:am, it means you’re sometimes available in the afternoon to do any variety of things including popping out to the local golf course for a quick 9.
