In my pursuit of the 100 BEST courses in Canada, I use SCOREGolf's Top100 lists as a guide, playing every other serious contender that I can find. Played all of the courses on the 2016 Top 100 (Oct 7, 2018 @ 26 yrs old), the 2018 Top 100 (Aug 2, 2024 @ 32 yrs old), the 2020 Top 100 (June 16, 2024 @ 32 yrs old), the 2022 Top 100 (May 17, 2024 @ 32 yrs old). I'm the only person living outside of the Toronto area to have played a Canadian top 100 list, was the 2nd to ever complete such a list, and am the only to complete 3+ lists. 98/100 played on SCOREGolf 2024 list. Continuing to chase top 100 contenders, and other greats around the world.

Quick Update From PEI!

I have reached the midpoint of my time in Atlantic Canada! 2 rounds in the books (Dundarave, Green Gables), 2 rounds remaining (Algonquin, Crowbush Cove)

The island was hit with record breaking snowfall this past winter, and many courses have struggled to recover. Dundarave had 6 temporary greens in play, as many were damaged beyond repair and have been undergoing extensive re-sodding. I was still able to see all of the course, and get a good feel for how it would normally play. Green Gables also had a fair amount of damage from the winter, but all greens were in play and rolled reasonably well. Here is a small taste of what I have seen so far!

Signature 16th at Green Gables (and a rare inclusion of yours truly)

While at Dundarave, a serendipitous circumstance brought me in touch with a fellow golf blogger! My new friend only recently discovered the world of golf, and seems to be even more addicted to it than I am (which is difficult to wrap my head around). She already has some of the craziest stories, and certainly has plenty more to come. If you'd like to be a part of her awesome golfing adventures I'd strongly encourage you to check out her blog! www.fairwayfoodie.wordpress.com

On a side note, I am nearly finished my write up on Priddis Greens! I will be posting soon, stay tuned for what's to come!


'Til next time, keep your stick on the ice!
