Early start in Grey-Bruce

The golf season is officially under way in Grey-Bruce.

Scenic City Golf Course just east of Owen Sound opened in the afternoon of March 15 and Sauble Golf and Country Club near Sauble Beach opened today (March 16).

Both courses are offering unlimited play for $20 per person.

Scenic City's opening is believed to be a record for the area, eclipsing by one day the record set by the same club last year.

Both clubs say they will stay open as long as weather permits.

out of semi-retirement :)

Today, for the last Mix 106 Golf Tour, me and Dad went to Sauble Golf and Country for an enjoyable 11 holes of golf. it was absolutely gorgeous out. I hit well off the tee, I chipped fairly well, I putted well, but I was not good with the irons...the rust was showing. I did get one par, I shanked it off the tee with my 9 iron and put it in the sand trap, then chipped it about 30 feet out of the sand trap to about a foot from the hole. Dad was definitely eating his wheaties...he played a lot better than me. We both ran out of gas after 9 and only ended up doing 11. Can't wait to get out again.

Warning to players at SGCC...be careful where you step! On the 9th hole we saw a family of four cats using the sand trap as a litter box...be warned :) We were playing behind one of the doctors from the hospital and Brad Underwood which was kinda cool :)

Total Holes : 198
Total Yardage : 62658
Pars : 7
Birdies : 1
