This photo, courtesy Grant Ross, depicts a recent outing at Peninsula Golf Course, in Marathon, Ontario.
Grant Ross, a member of the Ross-McAllister Hackfest Championship dynasty, displays his fine etiquette as witnessed by his deft touch on the pin. Dave, at left, looks on in amusement as mock-assault on an unsuspecting playing partner occurs in the background.
Interesting to note that the Peninsula Golf Course, a nine hole track, was designed by Stanley Thompson. Here are some noteable courses designed by Mr. Stanley that you might recognize.
- Banff Springs Hotel GC, Banff, Alberta (1927)
- Cape Breton Highlands, Nova Scotia (1935)
- Capilano, Vancouver, British Columbia (1937)
- Cataraqui, Kingston, Ontario (1928)
- Jasper Park Lodge, GC Jasper, Alberta (1925)
- St. George's, Toronto, Ontario (1929)
In addition, Stan the Man designed the original nine at North Bay Golf and Country Club, a course that befuddles me to this day, despite having played it more than a few hundred times.
