I was involved in organizing a buying mission to British Columbia in September 2013 and despite the busy schedule I was able to set aside two rounds of golf at the Whistler Golf and Country Club, just 100 meter away from the Conference venue, the Westin Resort and Spa Hotel. Since we did not any golf equipment, the Pro-Shop was kind enough to give a voucher for CAD105 to play 18 holes. The package came with a full set of Nike Covert clubs and buggy.
The course is one of the best in British Columbia but they have only a short season for golf before the winter. I played with Lim from Muar who hit it longer than me but we ended up with the same score, gross 88 for a par 72 course. The rented Nike Covert set was great especially the driver and utility wood and after the game the Pro-shop manager offered to sell the set for CAD 1,100 including the Nike bag but I did not take it.
The conference that we attended also organized a golf tournament, sponsored by the Western Red Cedar Lumber Association, the fee was CAD 175 including lunch, there were about 20 flights but we did not participate! The beauty about Whistler Golf Club was that you got to see wild black bears roaming the course in the summer.
Happy golfing.
Happy golfing.
