A bit of a cloudy day in Lisboa but a day off from golf with time a food tour where we tasted and drank our way around the Alfama area of Lisbon. Great company, food and wine with many thanks to for an amazing tour

A very busy day in Portugal with AM golf at Praia d’el Rey (a bit of a Scottish feel with wind and rain on the links style back 9) followed by a wine tour at Quinta do Sanguinhal and an evening visit to the walled city of Obidos with an amazing dinner at Jamon Jamon (a G*T favorite). Busy day and eveyone slept well! On to Lisbon.

Great day at West Cliffs golf. The actual play might not have been of a high standard but the views and the company more than made up for bad play. A bit of wine at dinner helps as well 🍷

The adventure continues on the mainland now. Met up with my friends and yesterday was a fun round followed by an amazing seafood dinner in Peniche. West Cliffs is next - fingers crossed for great weather as the golf and views are amazing there

Carnival weekend in Portugal and I randomly came across the school kids parade today. This traffic block is nothing like the jam I ran into outside the city though!!

Overnight rain, beautiful day though! Nice start with 18 holes at Furnas Golf Club. A top 20 course in Portugal, the course has a great mix of holes that force a lot of decisions. The only bad part, you don’t know you needed to make a decision unless you’re playing with a member or have played it before - a couple of great shots turned out to be not so great! That aside, wonderful course, amazing green complexes and bunkering, and a good time to be had by all. Tour operator tip, obviously not a pro tip!!), keep an eye on the wind direction, it was constantly changing!

Amazing rest of the day also with stops at Ribeira dos Caldeirões and the amazing waterfalls, Caldeira Velha for a thermal soak, Lagoa do Fogo (lagoon of fire), an Azoream pineapple farm, dinner at A Tasca (so good, thanks to my daughter for the recommendation!!), a loss at the casino and a late night drink at Whale Bar in the Octant Ponta Dalgada.

This Octant is modern, spacious, has an amazing spa and of course, the great top floor bar overlooking the harbor. Conveniently located close to all the action, this is the place to stay in Ponta Delgada and you do want to stay in Ponta Delgada - great first evening and daytime exploring tomorrow.

Fun round at Furnas this morning but more on that another time. Break with a view!!

What a trip already. Wonderful hospitality and 2 VERY distinct nines at Batalha Golf made for a fun and challenging round of golf. Tight and hilly on course C to start (nice way to step off the plane!) and then a bit flatter and a bit more room but a no less challenging back nine on course A (course B is closed for maintenance this week). Very good conditioning, excellent greens and a challenge for all handicaps - and the black sand traps are eye (and ball) catching. A well spent morning !!!

Afternoon started to show the other reason to come to the Azores - wonderful views at every turn, beautiful small towns, amazing seafood and world class accommodations. Tonight I’m at the Octant Furnas, a 55 room boutique hotel, the Octant Furnas that features well appointed rooms, amazing customer service, dining and to top it off, a full spa with naturally sourced thermal pools that ease all your aches and pains. The Azores are turning out to be really special and I can hardly wait to see what tomorrow brings!

At bedtime each night, I ask Julian to give me three things he’s grateful for that day. I’m grateful for a lot of things these days, including a great team that can work well remotely when we get record snowfall in Toronto. And for subsequent sunny mornings where I can work from my favourite local cafe Life is good.

As winter in Canada nears its final stretch, it’s the perfect time to think elsewhere and spotlight one of the most unique opening holes in golf.

At just 345 yards, the first hole may seem like a friendly handshake to start your round. But don’t let the modest length fool you—the real challenge lies to the right, where out-of-bounds train tracks hug the entire length of the hole. If your timing is just right, you might even have an audience as a passing train rumbles by just a few dozen feet from the tee.

It’s time to start dreaming of teeing it up! Prestwick’s unforgettable opener might just the beginning—ready to book your trip?

Big week at the 2025 PGA Merchandising Show in not so sunny and warm Orlando. We not only met with many of our suppliers from around the world (and saw some really amazing stuff on the show floor) but we also awarded a trip to England to the winner of the PGA of Canada Stan Leonard Class A Assistant Professional of the Year - Anne Balser from Oakfield County Club in Nova Scotia. Congrats to Anne and we look forward to her joining us for an amazing trip of golf and touring in Liverpool

One of the highlights of the big birthday week last week was hopping over to St Lucia to see and it was more than worth the trek! Despite torrential rains in the morning - which forced/allowed us to walk the course - the course was in great shape. It was tough to choose the best pics to post as there is so much eye candy, particularly the last few holes of each nine. What a treat!

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. It’s been a pretty special week so far with family and friends in Barbados. Very lucky to be able to play hosted by our good friend Deano. What a track and what a day. Couldn’t have asked for a better birthday round with my best golfing buddy Darren.

Great to be a sponsor of the PGA of Canada Head Pro Championship presented by Callaway at Mission Inn in sunny Florida. Practice round on Monday followed by a fun reception for all hosted by Tourism Ireland and Golf Away Tours where the Guinness flowed and a trip for 2 to Ireland was won. The serious stuff started today drawing out the spectators (that we are all staying well away from!). Good luck to all the participants

Great week (ok, 11 days!) in Portugal not only playing courses like West Cliffs, Praia D’el Rey, Oitavos Dunes and Ombria (just to name a few) but also a chance enjoy the amazing culture and food of this world class golf destination. Looking forward to getting home but I really enjoyed my combination vacation/“business” trip exploring some of what Morocco and Spain have to offer plus time in Portugal and opportunities to meet some of our groups enjoying these amazing destinations- Time to go home!
