Truro’s Marshland Golf Driving Range hosts Atlantic Canadian RE/MAX Long Drive Championship EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH Chris Clarke (902) 895-GOLF (4653) | Twitter @marshlandgolf | Facebook “Marshland Golf” | www.MarshlandGolf.com It’s the simple things in life that are most important. All people have experienced stresses and losses in life. The past five years at the golf range has given me a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle and has allowed me to become more competitive at long drive. -Chris Clarke Owner of Marshland Golf Driving Range Marshlandgolf.com Car2nist Robert Denton
Truro’s Marshland Golf Driving Range has been authorized by the LDA as an official qualifying site for the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship. This will be the fourth regional qualifying event hosted by Marshland Golf Driving Range since 2010. The RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship has emerged as golf’s most popular grass roots event. The competition is open to amateur and professional golfers alike. The competition is fun, fast-paced and appeals to golfers of all ages. The competition begins each spring and runs throughout the summer months, building to an exciting climax at the RE/MAX World Championship finals in September in Mesquite and Las Vegas, Nevada, at which the world champions
06 | Faces Magazine | August 2013
are crowned. Since 1975 The RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship has been the premier event in power golf. The adrenaline-drenched finals have been described as “golf’s greatest spectacle.” The event’s total purse is over a half a million dollars and the winner earns the bragging rights as golf’s biggest hitter. The World finals will be showcased throughout October 2013 on the Golf Channel in three primetime specials and the first ever live, two hour final. Additionally, NBC will air a 60 minute recap show of the entire world championship later in the year, which will mark the first time golf’s premier long drive event in its 38 year history will be seen on network television. The RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship qualifying campaign involves
“
No pre-registration required. Just show up and tee up!
”
a three tier qualifying process. Tier one is local. Tier two is regional. Tier three is the RE/Max World Finals. More than 100 local qualifying events are conducted each year in North America alone. Chris Clarke, who has owned the range since 2008, will be the site director for the Atlantic Canadian Regional Championship and will be supported by local golf professional, Heather Cameron and staff. The first qualifying rounds will be run Friday August 9th and Saturday August 10th with three daily rounds being held each day from 9 to 11 AM, 12 to 2 PM and 3 to 5 PM. The entry fee for a 6 ball set is $40 and participants may enter multiple times. There are two divisions: Open, which includes players of all ages, and Senior, which is for hitters 45 years and better. The top four finishers in each of the six time slots are eligible to enter the Atlantic Canadian Regional Championship on Sunday August 11th. There is a one time entry fee of $150 for those who qualify for the regional competition. The top two hitters in the Open Division as well as the first place finisher in the Senior Division in the Atlantic Canadian Regional Championship go on to the world finals in Mesquite and Las Vegas, Nevada.

This album is very melodic and very orchestrated - one minute you’re hearing strings, the next minute you’re hearing a marching band and then you’re hearing electric guitar.
Canadian rocker Fefe Dobson has a lot to celebrate. Not only did she preview her upcoming lead single “Legacy” on Degrassi in July, but the Toronto-bred beauty also got engaged to her long-time boyfriend Yelawolf! Don’t worry if you missed
out on hearing Legacy on Degrassi, as Fefe will be officially releasing the highly anticipated single very shortly. Once her upcoming album is released, Ms. Dobson hopes to not only make a tour stop in Ottawa, but Canada and world-

Fefe’s label-mate Roger Mooking also has plenty to celebrate as the celebrity TV chef and rapper has just released his latest album entitled “Feedback”. When questioned about whether or not he was pressured by industry executives to change his thoughtprovoking lyrics to the chains and cars that fill up today’s mainstream rap lyrics, Roger insisted “I don’t care about that, nobody pressured me to change the lane of this album. I started making it in a bubble with a couple producer friends of mine. It was only about 3 or 4 songs that we started sharing with the team/ management company. I called up Chris [manager] one day, and to be honest everyone was a bit skeptical about me making another album, but I had it all in me and I needed to get it out. When Chris came to the studio, he heard 3 of the songs we were working on at that time and he was into it.” Look out for more music from Fefe Dobson coming soon, and check out Roger Mooking’s “Feedback”, in stores now. - Grace Odumo Editor In Chief | 613style.com

healthy living
Healthy Living BY LUKE COREY
It’s August and the summer is beginning to wind down. We are so lucky to live here in Nova Scotia, as this can be one of the nicest months of the year anywhere in the country. Try to take advantage of it by getting active and exercising whenever you can. There is so much that you can do to stay fit and healthy, especially here in Halifax. There are tons of outdoor fitness classes that you can join. You can sign up for some recreational sports through the Halifax Sports & Social Club. There are amazing hiking trails located all around the city. You can even get some exercise and stay cool by trying out some stand-up paddle-boarding or surfing on the ocean. The options are endless, as long as you do something! To support an increase in activity levels and ensure that your body is responding in a positive way, you must focus on properly fueling it and giving it the nutrients it needs to function optimally. First, let’s imagine that your body is a high-performance vehicle. To get your vehicle to function at a high-level and not break down all the time requires some consistent maintenance. You have to use the best quality fuel, keep the motor and gears well oiled and lubricated, and quickly repair any damage. The same goes for our actual bodies. We need to feed it the right nutrients, keep it well hydrated, and quickly repair any damaged tissues, especially as we become more active. Now, let’s focus on how you can do this. First before you exercise you will need to fill up your fuel tank and make sure you are fully hydrated. Focus on consuming lots of fruits and vegetables, grain products, and a little bit of protein. This blend of nutrients will help power your
performance once you get started. A great pre-activity meal would be a chicken sandwich on whole grain bread, layered with some spinach, low-fat cheese and veggies. Add a large glass of water and you’ll be ready for action. Give yourself enough time to digest and absorb the nutrients, approximately 2 – 3 hours before exercising. After you have finished, it’s time to fix the damage. Exercising takes its toll on our muscles, tissues and bones. Always carry some snacks with you and start to consume them right after you finish. Granola bars, crackers, bread, fruit, yogurt, and chocolate milk are all great postexercise snacks. Within a couple of hours after finishing you will want to have a well-balanced meal, such as a chicken stir-fry with brown rice and lots of vegetables. Always rehydrate with lots of water. If you can properly fuel up and hydrate before your exercise, and then recover with some high-quality snacks and a well-balanced meal, you will notice that you will get a better performance out of your body every time. You will likely suffer fewer injuries, have more energy, sleep better, get to a healthy weight and much more. The benefits are profound! Take the time to plan out both your activities and your eating. It’ll lead to a better performance and a healthier you! Enjoy your August everyone! I’ll see you in September where we will talk about how to get back on track after a long and enjoyable summer! -Luke Corey, BA(H), BScAHN, Registered Dietitian Complete Health and Nutrition E: info@completehealthandnutrition.ca www.completehealthandnutrition.ca

fun horoscopes
Horoscopes
Gemini
A person with a great deal of influence can give useful input. Instead of pushing too hard for things, perhaps the way forward is to come up with a detailed plan.
This is an outgoing time for friendships but there are also upheavals over financial issues. A detailed budget reveals a little extra money to spend on the home.
Scorpio
Whilst people you know and care for are extremely active and expansive, you concentrate on the little things that make communication flow smoothly.
Birthdays this month 22 | Faces Magazine | August 2013
ALEXA
A friend or partner may be adopting a low profile, but can offer valuable help. When you have big ideas, it is often the small things that make the difference.
Taurus
Drakaina
Sagittarius
CANCER Your mind is occupied by new ideas to implement in your professional life. Don’t go too far because you could easily throw the baby out with the bathwater.
CLOOSKY
CAPRICORN Powerful people impinge on your life right now and challenge you to take new initiatives. At times like this it is good to connect with someone who has a grasp of detail.
LEO Partners and family may be a bit skeptical about plans you have to express yourself, but don’t be put off. You are on the right track and need to go your own way.
SARAH
Aquarius Your goals and those of a partner may not be in alignment. You prefer to operate under a veil of secrecy perhaps, whilst others are completely open.
VIRGO You may be a little stressed out this month and emotions are not under as much control as you would like. It’s best not to be too impulsive at the moment.
ROGER
Pisces There may be a certain nervousness about money or resources. A helpful person can make all the difference in helping you to organize matters.
LIBRA Partners and business colleagues are full of brave initiatives and you are not going to stand in the way. One leader in particular is really great to work with.
MEG
ARIES You want to have an active month and you take a lot of initiatives. Those who are dependent on you take a low profile, because you are not in the mood to compromise.
