Spring in the Canadian Rockies
Getting a call from the golf pro north of the border, in western BC, marks the start of spring for us in northwest Montana. A drove of eighty miles north, across the border into western BC, signaled snow had melted and the greens and fairways resemble an expensive carpet. The lawnmower has first cut the entire course and we will be the first to play the course this season. One thing about living in a snow belt, is walking in fresh grass covered by snow all winter. The ball bounces on the fairways and bites on the greens. The fondest memory of spring in Canada are the remarks from "newbees" when entering this emerald green paradise. "The roads are so wide" and "This fairway feels like a carpet". This is one thing you need to add to your "I want to do before I die list".
