Alberta Golfer Completes His Mission Of Playing Every Public Course In Province Rather than becoming part of the old TV show, Mission Impossible, it was Mission Completed, the newest golfing achievement, for Bob Villeneuve. As featured in an earlier Inside Golf story, the avid golfer finished his quest to play every public golf course in Alberta this past summer. This impressive journey began in Drayton Valley in 2005 and the final putt dropped at the Fairmont Banff Springs Tunnel Mountain Nine course in July of 2021. INSIDE GOLF

Total Golf Offers The Total Practice Package There are, says Garett Jenkinson, two kinds of ranges in this world, a gun range and a (golf) driving range. In the latter, he continues, you go and shoot your weapon at specific targets and selected distances. So why go to a driving range and blast away with no real purpose? Following that thought pattern, Jenkinson has opened a brand-new golf training facility in Calgary. INSIDE GOLF

Our 2021 Gift Guide For The Upcoming Holidays (Part 2)
Part one of Our 2021 Gift Guide For The Upcoming Holidays is here. Golf is a game of compensation and correction. You miss one tee shot to the right, and the next one?s over-corrected into the hazard on the left. If your aim is a tiny bit off, you?ll compensate for that mistake with your golf swing. It?s human nature. You don?t even know you?re doing it. With putting it?s even worse. Now there?s an easy way to check yourself for those pesky little aim and alignment errors that cost you so many strokes. INSIDE GOLF

Rules Of Disorder: 10 Moments That Shouldn?t Have Happened April of 2018 marked the 50th anniversary of a memorable Masters ? but one that made its indelible mark in history for the wrong reasons. A Sunday in Augusta that should have been remembered for Roberto De Vicenzo holing out for an eagle on the first hole on the way to a 65, and for Bob Goalby shooting a 66 to set up a playoff, instead became notorious for De Vicenzo signing an incorrect scorecard. Sadly, it?s the kind of incident not isolated in golf history. INSIDE GOLF
