I have probably played close to 500 rounds of golf since retiring 15 years ago. Yes it is an addiction. Recently I went on a 3 day golf adventure with the golf buddies.
It was fab. We journeyed from Arnprior to Huntsville, ON to play the highly ranked Deerhurst Resort Highlands golf course. Tucked into the Canadian Shield, this is a spectacular course with steep hills and gorgeous views and fast greens. We loved it.
Moving on the next day we played the gorgeous Parry Sound golf course. An equally spectacular course with the Shield poking through again but much less hilly. I loved this one even more. On our way home on the 3rd day we stopped at the Homestead at Wolf Ridge GC in Killaloe, a nice country course we have played several times before.
We stayed in beautiful Parry Sound the home of Bobby Orr, just off Georgian Bay at a condo owned by one of the golf buddies. It was an all round great trip. We ate at several superb restaurants including a Cajun spiced fresh pickerel meal I will not soon forget.
Perhaps the best part of golf is the social contact we have together. Chatting about health ailments, electric cars, places we’ve travelled to, jokes and career experiences, we really bond. Golf is a bonus.
We are slowing down now. Playing 3 days in a row was a challenge for me. I hope we can to do it again next year. Thanks golf buddies for all the fun, the great memories and all those gimmies on the green!
