Less than three weeks until the Research Tournament in North Battleford at Grant Sawchyn’s golf course. If you want to play a well groomed fun golf course make sure you enter a team. Proceeds will go to Turfgrass research which every golf course in Saskatchewan will benefit from.

Some 57 years ago I started work at the Riverside Country Club and needless to say, I saw a lot of changes and improvements. Last fall I wrote a history of the Club as I saw it. Long time members who took the time to read it loved it as it brought back many memories. If you have been at your club a long time, consider writing a history. You’ll enjoy it and it will be a worthwhile project.

Latest injury report: My wife has gone to Vancouver for two weeks which means my legs are getting better or (and more likely) I’m a big pain in the butt and she needs a break. I hope she has fun!

My Injuries from a fall this winter are slowly healing and I can now move around and walk unaided.  Although rehabilitation will last another 9 months, there is improvement and it feels good to be mobile again.

It hasn’t been a very good winter for me. In early December I fell in my driveway while pushing snow and severely injured my legs. In short, I snapped the quadricep muscles in each leg. After surgery on both legs, I spent six weeks in leg casts called “Zimmers”. I had a long hospital stay before coming home to learn to walk again. It’s coming but has been a long and painful haul.
