Hello from East Coast of Canada, im from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia! Not many courses here to choose from we have about 15 courses on the island, about 5 to 8 of the courses only being 9 holes, with the most diffucult 9 hole course having one par 5 and the rest of the holes par 3's, your lucky if its a par 4. We do tho luckly have a beautiful, geourgous, amazing links golf course, the only "real" links golf course in canada right in my backyard:-D but this course is called cabot links here is a few shots of the course and rates its amazing, its truly my dream to play just one full 18 hole of golf their with my dad & brothers. Soon enough:)

Hello from the west coast. I've only been on TST for a month or two. I've seen maybe 4 or 5 other members from BC. I'm not sure if I've seen any members from the east coast.

Cheers

Welcome! I teach at a college business school, and five of our faculty were either born or got their PhD in Canada.

Also, in my master's Strategy class, we did a business case on Islington Golf Club in Toronto. At the case time, it was an old-line club that was struggling to please an increasingly diverse group of members, and find ways to increase membership. The situation is quite similar to that facing many mid-tier clubs in the USA.

The case originated from Ivey Publishing Co. out of Ivey Business School, Western University. The students in my class really enjoyed it.

From what I understand, Toronto is about 2,000 KM southwest of Cape Breton. ...

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.
    • I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills. 
    • You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized. 
    • 32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.
