Trivia: “Who was the first known golfer to own a set of custom-made clubs?” Answer below.
It’s that time of year again when golfers in southern Ontario are getting the itch to get outside with their clubs. I speak with several of them most days here at our Temporary Event Center at Market Square. They’re all curious as to when we’ll open the doors on Parmasters Kitchener-Waterloo. We’re working on it, but all good things take time.
You can also find these golfers swarming the local golf retailers, be it Golf Town, Nevada Bobs, or others. I saw many on Saturday, which was a fairly warm day.
Unfortunately, we awoke this morning to a very heavy frost and a bit of snow. Coincidentally, I came across the following cartoon.
I also read the following quote from Golf News Now:
A Texan apparently was talking about how his town got hit with a freak storm that left about an inch of snow on the ground, causing panic among the townspeople who weren’t used to such conditions. The Texan put it all into perspective, however. “He said, `In Canada, they get an inch of snow, the golfers are happy because they can still see their golf balls,’” said DeCunha, who was telling this story with a purpose.
In a completely unrelated turn of events, I also saw this cartoon, and just thought it was funny. Enjoy!
And the answer: “King James IV of Scotland, who in 1502 had a bow-maker build him a set.”
