Day 1: Gimli

The 3o day/30 course/30 town trip kicked off today in Gimli, Manitoba at the Links at the Lake Golf Course

Quick note: One of the 2 other golfers I golfed was none other than Jim Carr, not the announcer from Slapshot, but this guy... ex-Winnipeg Free Press reporter, ex-politician.

And during his time at the Free Press, guess who he worked with? None other than CreComm Journalism instructor Duncan McMonagle. So through 1 day, I've already golfed with a prominent Manitoban. And he told me I'm a good putter, too.......

Weather wise, it was picture perfect. The skies were clear and the temperature hovered near 30 C all day.


Here's the video from the 18th green. The 9th and 18th are virtually beside each other with water separating them.

P.S. Sound cuts out a few times...This is what happens when you record videos with a digital camera.




Videos will get better as the trip goes on.. trust me. Tomorrow we hit up the Selkirk Golf & Country Club.
