The Perfect Ten Update

As mentioned in last months newsletter two of our marshals, Adam Risto and Stephane Proulx, set off Jun 17 on a cross Canada golf trip. Driving in Stephane's 1982 Porsche they played 10 courses in Ten Days in Ten Provinces. While Adam and Stephane completed the journey on June 26 at Clovelly Golf course in St John's Newfoundland, unfortunately the car didn't quite make it. 300 km from the end of the journey they hit a huge pothole and ripped the oil pan off the car. Undeterred Adam and Stephane had the car towed back to Gander, rented a new car and still made their tee time at Clovelly. Other stops along the way included Grewwolf, Silvertip, Dakota Dunes, Quarry Oaks, Crimson Ridge, Club de Golf de L'ile de Montreal, Kingswood, Crowbush Cove, Dundee Resort, and Clovelly.

 

You can see photos from their trip at www.theperfectten.ca. Way to go guys that's a trip to remember.

Care of the Course:

 

Holes in Bunkers: Before leaving a bunker a player should carefully fill up and smooth over all holes and footprints made by the player.
Replace Divots; repair Ball Marks: Through the green, a player should ensure that any turf cut or displaced is replace at one and pressed down and that any damage to the putting green made by a ball is carefully repaired.
Players should not damage the putting green by leaning on their putters particularly when removing the ball from the hole.
Players should not use their putter to remove the ball from the hole as this damages the edge of the cup.
In taking practice swings, players should avoid causing damage to the course, particularly the tees by removing divots.
