I say it DeSHAWMBo… is that not correct?
DeSHAMBo is very upstate New York.
Or is it about inflection point?
To be fair to them, they had Nick Taylor on before Tron and had Cory Conners on today, they wanted the #takes

100%… eye roll kind of frustrating
Entertaining as hell, though
Does @Tron ever dabble in the great Canadian game of ice hockey?
It would be my honor to go to a Panthers game and do some of my favorites in South Florida
Maybe spoil him and eat at The Cheesecake Factory before the game 
- Plantation Preserve
- Miccossukee
- Osprey Point
- Pembroke Lakes
The two courses at Jacaranda are my favourite in that area. Love Plantation also. Sad Ill be missing my traditional 7:00am tee time on Christmas Day at Jacaranda.

I assume you meant NS residents? Other than this year in the bubble I’ve never seen NB rate.

Yeah probably
And unless it’s changed, the NS resident rate is just the resort rate.
Now, if you’re from Cape Breton you can get some sick off season and twilight rates. A couple of us looked at buying a small land parcel just to have the property tax receipt to get the rate haha.
in Inverness, a hell of a lot more than it was 10-15 years ago. Was probably some of the cheapest in the province then.
New Recruit based out of Calgary, but on the road most summers.
This year I played most of my golf out of Banff, thanks to some good fortune. When I am in town, you can find me haunting Delacour, Collicut Siding, or playing the Valley 9 at Shagnappi.

Welcome! I’m no longer in Calgary, but there’s a number of people who are. MASSIVE fan of Delacour though - man, I miss that course. Tee shot on #2 is so far in my head, I’ve missed it with just about every club in my bag.

Welcome fellow Calgarian. Shout out to the Alberta roll call too. Sometimes golf is organized locally through that thread.
Also a big Delafour fan. Tremendous value.

Western NY here, I pronounce it Douche-Bag-O.
Bumping this back up. Initial plans for a Western Canadian meet-up (likely in Kelowna).
Just expressions of interest at this point (Google sheet in the initial post). And, based on the responses to this point, the Olympic Prolific in May, the Ontario event in June, we are probably looking at July (or possibly August).
Has anyone played the Quail and Bear courses in Kelowna? They seem to be well set-up for tournaments (a really good planning doc on their site). Given the numbers so far it may be possible to do it anywhere (Tower Ranch?). Pretty much everything in play at this point.

If your looking at doing something in the Okanagan. I would recommend Osoyoos over Kelowna. Kelowna is great if we are looking for a spot with lots of night life and other things. Buy if you’re looking to plan a golf focused jam then I think Osoyoos is the spot for us.
As the 36 at Osoyoos G&C is the perfect tournament host as it has two contrasting 18’s. Desert Gold, the newer of the two courses there is a true test of golf benched above the lake the winds will challenge you to shape the ball to hold the challenging fairways and rollicking greens. The old course Park Meadow is an apt name for this course. It’s a gentle friendly walk in a park, scoring here is easy once you find the green but that can be a challenge as the greens are small and smartly defended. This is one of those course that you always feel like you could have gotten another one out there.
It is also worth mentioning that across the road is one of Canada’s best short courses. Sonora Dunes this quirky, bunkerless 9 weaves its way up desert washes and through the landscape using the wind and contours as it’s only defense. This is the type of course you could post up at for a day and play a series of fun matches with half sets, or 1 club challenges and stuff of that nature.
This is not mentioning the other two course in the area Desert Canyon and Fairview Mountain. Both are solid courses but not really worth building a trip around.
All this being said if you do decide to go to Kelowna. I would recommend shooting Kelowna G&C an email. It’s the best course in the region by a long shot and are open to some outside guest play including tournaments. It’s a great chance to experience the work of A.V Macan the golden age PNW great whose work was just restored by Jeff Mingay.

i know, right! I only ever played the west at Jacaranda. Played well and liked it a lot
My father in law is a snowbird member at Plantation, so we’re there mon-wed-fri for the two weeks whil we are there. Sometimes we mix it up and go to Pembroke Lakes for a change.
When we get permission from the wives (there’s always a catch 
) me and my brother in law sneak off to Osprey Point in Boca Raton. I LOVE that course. Three 9 hole muni. Always feel like im playing a different track because the rotation always changes
Land value has sky rocketed
Even the old town houses are selling for over $500K
A lot of people just Airbnb their place during the golfing season
Land is slim pickings now.
People selling houses (renovated) for $1 million plus in some instances
