Today on the news, someone is asking the city to buy and operate Shaw-Nee Slopes golf course. This would be a sad day for VIP members as we get to play at Shaw-Nee for only $20 per round. With the city running the show, green fees will likely resemble that of Maple Ridge or McCall [...]

Missing Golf?

I couldn’t help myself today but I had to stop by Golf Town, just to swing a club or putt a ball. I had the whole store to myself; the place was deserted.
Everything was on sale. All the drivers that were hot this summer were all reduced to clear. For example, the Callaway 460 Big [...]

Saving money is the key to why you joined VIP Golf. But it’s too bad for us that our golf season is so short. Some of us pack our clubs away until next spring, take out the hockey equipment or skis and snowboards and take in winter activities. Others who dread the cold, do not [...]
Winter Golf

It’s depressing when you drive by a golf course and see a tarp covering the greens. Hey, it means winter is here and golf courses are closed for the season. I was down in Palm Springs not too long ago and I talked to a resident Palm Springs starter. He had no clue about our [...]
Somebody’s Trash is My Deal

It’s depressing trying to sell your used drivers, fairway woods and irons with a club exchange. The end result is to leave the clubs in my garage, next to the garden tools. Generally, golf equipment depreciates so fast that the only way to keep up its value is to trade it in after 2-3 seasons [...]
Driver Sounds Good

It’s funny how we depend upon the sound of a ball hitting the clubface. How many times have you turned away for a brief moment just to hear your partner hit his tee shot and hear the incredible sound of a good hit? By the time you say ‘good ball’, he turns to you and [...]

This weekend is pretty much the last weekend for golf. For VIP members, there are only a few courses for you to choose from. Woodside, Lakeside, Silverwing and Boulder Creek are the remaining courses that are still open but as of today, both Woodside and Lakeside had no slots. I presume there are no slots [...]

This weekend is probably the last weekend for golf. Most VIP members have packed in their clubs for the season. Some die hards are still out there and if you’re one of them, good for you. The remaining courses that are still open include Woodside, Lakeside, SilverWing and Boulder Creek. As for Saturday, Woodside and [...]

The performance center in Calgary is located down in the Deerfoot industrial area and it is fully equipped to measure the parameters that gives you your optimum swing. If you don’t end up buying [...]

How many caps do you need? If you’re like most golfers, you have at least a dozen hats. I know for one, I have over 24 caps and is still counting. Every time I see a cap and try it on, I buy it. To organize all my caps, I like the CapRack that pins [...]
