Last Saturday I played Royal Woodbine Golf Club, a beautiful course tucked away in area surrounding the 409, 401 and 427 highways. The course is tough – narrow, long, water in play on every hole and a total of 75 sand traps. The course took forever to finish (about 6 hours) mostly because they had a strict no cart on grass policy. I didn’t have a great round: the slick greens, carefully placed hazards and narrow fairways had me scrambling all day. I need to go back and get some revenge. Here is the layout of the course:

Last Friday I had my first round of the year at Castlemore Golf & Country Club, located in the north end of Brampton. This was my first time playing Castlemore, mostly because it was under construction for the last couple years and the club house was a trailer (now they have a beautiful club house). The course is a par 70, playing 5887 yards from the blues. We went to Castlemore despite the fact the weatherman was predicting a 70% chance of rain. Things were going well until the 14th hole, when all hell broke loose. We sped back to the club house (in the cart) and got a rain check… not before getting soaked. Knowing the chance for rain I didn’t bring my camera. The weather is looking better for Saturday were we’ll be playing Royal Woodbine.

Think about that. Do you really know the difference? I didn’t. I asked myself that question when I was reading through the YUI Connection Manager library. Read here and you’ll learn all about it.
