Absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to play a real links course. I might not be so bad at this game if there were less trees around :-D

Fabulous! It's a difficult place to get to but I might just strap my clubs on my back and walk there just to play this beautiful course and the Links.

Cabot Cliffs in Nova Scotia, Canada: Coore and Crenshaw gem may be among the world's best links

Quote:

Having pushed all in and with Cabot Links , which opened earlier that year to rave reviews, it was time to shift the focus on Cliffs. Keiser has always considered one course a curiosity. "Two courses is a destination." The town of Inverness, population 2,500, was about to go from exhausted and depleted coal-mining country to the envy of golfers everywhere.

Cabot Cliffs will be be compared to Cypress Point and Pebble

Spin forward two years, and having just returned from my third trip to Inverness, I report nothing but good news. Turns out Keiser and Cowan-Dewar got their work done. And Coore, Crenshaw and their talented crew are almost done converting magic dust into reality.

...

"What you see here are a lot of holes that wouldn't exist in the United States," Coore says. He's referring to holes two, five, six, nine, 10, 16, 17 and 18, which coexist with the dunes, marsh and coast.

In case you don't want to do the math, that's a par 72. I'm not so sure what I feel about a course with 6 par 3s, 3 short of a 9 hole par 3. Sounds intriguing though.

New promotional commercial. The Philip Glass/Max Richter/Ludovico Einaudi style piece is a good match.  [video]http://youtu.be/gKhIt9c8USE[/video]

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
    • No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
