GOLF
From the members of Fer nie Golf Club Being a member of Fernie Golf Club gives me limitless golf which makes me happy as it is one of my favourite sports. It gives me a sense of camaraderie by playing with my friends and making new friends by being a part of ladies and senior clubs. As a member we get a better rate for tournaments. As a member we can book tee times a week in advance. In the restaurant we get a discount on food. In the pro shop we get a discount on golf merchandise (clubs and equipment) as well as clothing. As members we get package deals for range passes, lockers etc. We get a vote at AGM and have input to club operations and electing board members. Patricia Moore

A family trip to the driving range? It may be a surprise, but I see many families, including mine, choosing to spend a couple of hours driving balls, putting, and enjoying a meal at the clubhouse. The Fernie Golf Club is a perfect place to do this with its relaxed environment, friendly staff, and club members that encourage newcomers to the game. My family has found the Fernie Golf Club to be a “community within a community” where everyone likes to say hello and ask about how your game is going. Our son collects golf balls so many members would pass on a colourful ball to add to his collection. The members at the club have a spirit of camaraderie that revolves around the game they love that they share with adults and kids alike. Another outing our family enjoys is to play five holes. This is a great way for kids to get started in the game because it only takes an hour to play the course. Each family member can play from a different tee box that suits their ability which makes it fun for everyone. We learned early on that our son did not like to lose his golf balls in the water (remember his ball collection?), so we always packed water balls that he didn’t mind losing. We learned what our son liked about the game (hitting his 6 iron, scoring, and riding the golf cart) and found ways to make the game fun for him. See you at the course! Christine Stein
