TIPS FROM THE PRO
Pace your game!
 There are truly few things more enjoyable than breezing through a 4 hour, 18-hole round of golf. However, that enjoyment can quickly turn to frustration when the game drags on into 5 and 6 hours.
Play golf at a steady pace!
Golf is a sport that is meant to be played at a steady pace. As experienced golfers we need to take on some of the responsibility for education and awareness about our game. The increase in popularity of our sport is a great thing, but can create some growing pains. New golfers need to be seasoned in the etiquette of the game, and educated in how to maintain a steady pace on the course. This doesn't mean you to have to rush, rather just play ready golf. New golfers are usually very receptive to wellmeaning advice, and here's our chance to help them improve their game and understand how following the rules will make the game more enjoyable for everyone.
Suggest new golfers begin playing on shorter courses
Encourage beginning golfers to start the game on shorter executive courses. Taking a beginning player to a course beyond their capabilities will only frustrate them and the players around them. If you are playing a regulation course, be sure to choose the correct set of tees for your abilities.
Follow the shots of everyone in your group to avoid looking for balls later
Help players in your group by watching their game. This makes errant shots easier to find and helps speed up the game.
Use your golf cart efficiently
If you are riding in a cart, drop off your playing partner at his or her ball, and then play your own shot. Always practice ready golf!
Begin planning your putt before you get to the green
 On the putting green, have the line and speed in mind before it is your turn to putt and then fine tune your shot when you reach your ball.
These are just a few of the many things that can help speed up the pace of play. The bottom line is, use a little common sense when on the course. You can play in a reasonable amount of time and still have time for social interaction or to conduct the "business" you need to accomplish. So enjoy your round and always consider others around you. Let's make the 2007 season fun and enjoyable for everyone!

To walk or to ride - that is the question!
Some feel golf, in its truest form, must be played while walking.
 Simply mention the words "golf cart" to a golf purist and you are sure to see a scowl spread across their face.
What the rules of golf say about power carts
The rules of golf do not directly indicate whether or not a power cart can be used, and ultimately leaves the decision up to individual course committees. In our own jurisdiction, the Golf Association of Ontario is now allowing players to use power carts in their tournaments.
What walking the course really means
During an average 18-hole round, a golfer travels up to 5 miles and spends 4-5 hours on the course. However, during that period they may only have contact with the ball about 5% of the time (roughly 100 times), with the rest of the time being spent getting to the next shot. With an average golf bag weighing anywhere between 25 and 45 pounds, it can be quite a workout walking the course and carrying your bag.
Benefits of walking the course
By walking the course many believe that you stay more in tune with the course and the pace of the game. Your body keeps moving and you stay warm and alert. Statistics also say that you burn up to 50% more calories by walking as opposed to riding the course.
Benefits of power carts
Contrary to what many may believe, a power cart doesn't necessarily make your game any quicker. However, for many the game is not just about the shot, but it is also a social outing. Riding in a cart allows you time to relax and socialize between holes. And when the weather is less than desirable, it provides you some respite from the elements. While many argue walking the course honours the traditions of the game, it is clear that power carts are here to stay.

Golf Cart Rules of Etiquette
- Drive carts carefully, and avoid making sharp turns that damage grass.
- Stay away from bunkers, off grass mounds, and stay on cart paths wherever possible.
- Keep at least 15 yards away from tee decks and greens.
- Never drive your cart while others in your group are making a stroke.
- Always park your cart behind the tee deck you will be hitting from, unless the cart path allows otherwise.
- When on a fairway never move your cart ahead of the golfers in your party who haven't yet hit.
- Obey all roped off areas and golf cart directional signs.
- When parking always park on the side of the path where the green is
located and closest to the next tee, or in the direction that you will
be heading next.

Chef Mike's Favourite Burgers 
Just in time for Father's Day
According to Chef Mike, the secret to a great barbecued burger is using quality, certified Angus medium ground beef (medium ground is more flavourful and moist), not overcooking your meat (a little pink shouldn't scare you), and then topping it off with fresh condiments and great buns! Fire up the barbecue, get the family together and cook up some burgers for Dad on his special day.
