Out with the Bunker Squad again, this time @FridayHarbour. Intriguing story how Doug Carrick turned a flat field into a pretty hilly course. Magnificent greens too! #BunkerSquad , #FridayHarbour

An awesome day yesterday at Muskoka Bay Club despite several torrential downpours. Thanks to Mark Zecchino and Golf Talk Canada for hosting us. @golftalkcanada @muskokabayresort

Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon yesterday at Muskoka Highlands in Bracebridge with the Fairways Bunker Squad. Kudos to owner Don MacKay and his staff for the great conditions, especially after all the rain. The greens were magnificent. We’ll have a full review in an upcoming issue of Fairways Magazine. #thebunkersquad #muskokahighlands

Nothing says you’re in the north more than a moose and a float plane. It’s not exactly a sunny July day but still an enjoyable time exploring Parry Sound for an upcoming travel story. #parrysound

Twenty years sounds like a long time but it’s gone by awfully quickly. We launched Fairways Magazine at the Toronto Golf & Travel Show in March 2001. Hockley Valley Resort was on the cover. Since then hundreds of courses, travel destinations, equipment reviews and people. Especially the people. Supers, pros, owners, managers, designers, writers, amateur and professional competitors etc. So many amazing people. So many wonderful stories. Thanks for your support. Thanks for reading. #fairways20th

Congratulations to two of our Round Table members this week. Michael Schurman was announced as a charter class member of the PGA of Ontario Hall of Fame; and TJ Rule's company Golf Away Tours (@golfawaytours) won a World Golf Award as Canada's Best Outbound Tour Operator for 2020. Well done guys! #fairwaysgolf #fairwaysmag #fairwaysmagazine #golf #golftrips #golfawaytours #fairwaysroundtable

Check out this week’s #fairwaysroundtable discussion as we talk about three very different topics: Bryson DeChambeau, who’s favourited at Augusta, and Tyrrell Hatton wearing a hoodie. We couldn't resist a debate about the hoodie. Link in Bio. #fairwaysmag #golf #augustanational #brysondechambeau #tyrrellhatton

Was really looking forward to my first round of the year. The forecast is 90% chance of rain. It’s actually pouring already but Ballantrae is in perfect shape and the rest of my group is keen to go.

Check out what our panel had to say about the TaylorMade Driving Relief match at Seminole Golf Club... No fans, no caddies, no pants. What did you think of it? (Round Table Link in bio) #fairwaysgolf #roundtablediscussions #fairwaysroundtable #taylormadedrivingrelief #seminolegolfclub

Ironic that we’re asked to stay home when gas prices are the lowest in 10 years. #staysafe #stayhealthy

The 2020 Masters has been postponed and no new date has been set. Some people think that Autumn at Augusta would be very exciting, while others are inclined to forget this season altogether. As usual, the Fairways Round Table has their own opinions: https://fairwaysgolf.ca/2020/03/18/would-you-like-to-see-the-masters-played-in-the-fall/

Dec 11

We'll see what the Australian crowds think of Patrick Reed when he tees it up at the Presidents Cup. Here at the Round Table, he's been tagged as a cheater for his latest stunt in the sand. BTW, we're not too high on Phil Mickelson these days either. https://fairwaysgolf.ca/2019/12/10/say-what-you-want-patrick-but-we-call-it-cheating/

Dec 8

Ten years after the fire hydrant, has Tiger Woods really changed? The Fairways Round Table tackles that question plus takes great exception to the fact that only three Canadian courses were included in the Golf Magazine Top 100 in the World. https://fairwaysgolf.ca/2019/12/04/ten-years-later-has-tiger-really-changed/

Oct 5

Fairways columnist Jim Deeks pens a compelling story of his latest adventure to Cape Breton. With sons and son-in-law in tow, the foursome experienced a taste of east coast hospitality and the awesomeness of Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs. https://fairwaysgolf.ca/2019/10/03/cabot-links-if-you-love-golf-youve-got-to-go/

Nobody seems too impressed with the FedEx Cup playoffs. Heck, they're not really even playoffs in the usual sense of the word. But the Fairways Round Table has a few ideas to fix them and solutions for some other things ailing the PGA Tour too. https://fairwaysgolf.ca/2019/08/10/nobody-likes-the-fedex-cup-playoffs-but-we-have-a-solution/

Gorgeous day today at Deerhurst Resort with the Fairways Bunker Squad. One of Muskoka’s best. #bucketlist

Great day yesterday at Lebovic Golf Club for the 8th Annual Lederer Charity Tournament in support of the Cdn Junior Golf Association. Fun group, great food, wonderful golf course, mediocre putting. #carrickdesign #cjga #lebovicgolfclub

Looking forward to checking out the accommodations at Deerhurst Resort's new Lakeside Lodge in early July and another round on the spectacular Deerhurst Highlands course. Great option for a golf getaway. https://fairwaysgolf.ca/2019/04/23/deerhurst-resort-has-all-the-ingredients-for-a-perfect-road-trip/ #MuskokaGolf #DeerhurstResort

Gorgeous setting for the Fairmont Grand Del Mar course here in Southern California. Definitely have to add this Tom Fazio design to my “must play again” list. #fairmontgranddelmar
