Final Rockchapel visit
A final trip to Rockchapel today for nine holes before our flight back to the UK tomorrow. Papa making up the fourball for today.
My youngest son, Drew, turned 10 years old today and boy did he have a great day.
A few rounds of laser tag ensured that he and his brother reminded us that the Fortnite skills on the PlayStation are transferrable to other areas in life. I wasn’t expecting to run around that match, but it was great fun.
After that it was back to his aunt’s house for cake and big birthday spread with a few presents to open.
It as great seeing the kids together once again and it’s been so long since they’ve all been together. A good chance then to re-create one of our favourite pictures of the kids all together on the front step.
That rounded off a truly great day for Drew. Happy birthday pal!
An unexpected perk of this trip to Canada was being able to play Glen Abbey golf course, which has been a host of the RBC Canadian Open for a number of years. We’ve always visited this course as spectators to the tournament, but being able to play it was an opportunity me and Ethan couldn’t pass up.
A strange course, as it features a handful of holes that are located down a ravine which made for a very different experience to other golf course we’ve played.
A fantastic day with Ethan and we both played pretty well considering it was out first time on the course.
Niagara Falls trip
All of us headed down to Niagara Falls for the day to enjoy some of the sights down there. The first thing we all did was the boat trip to see the falls up close. We haven’t done this since Drew was born so it was nice for him to experience this with all of us. After a wander round Clifton Hill, we grabbed some pizza and did the Sky Wheel to take in some great views of the falls.
Playing Hidden Lake again
Me and Ethan played Hidden Lake again today. We stuck with what we liked and played the new course. We also got paired with a couple of locals who kept us right and gave us a few pointers to deals on local courses. Nice to see that the food is still great at Hidden Lake as well. Highly recommend the smash burgers!
First Rockchapel visit
First visit to our favourite nine hole course in the Oakville area, and that’s the Rockchapel course just past Waterdown. Nice being able to play in the sunshine with a good short course for Drew.
Afternoon range session
A great afternoon range session for the boys before the rain started rolling in.
No better time
My in-laws have a new home in Canada, so a few changes to the sleeping arrangements. They still have a great spot outside for a quiet coffee though.
I like the idea of Shawn Blanc’s “Stop Doing” list.
Another productivity essential from Nicholas Bate.
