A round at Cape Breton Highlands Links can be a magical experience, re-invigorating for a golfer’s soul. Last year, I teed it up with [the General Manager] just after sunrise. We were the first two off and although our journey didn’t scare any course records, we took in the ocean air, saw a moose and her calf quietly chewing their morning feast, looked at several course projects underway, imagined what Thompson would think of today’s game, laughed a lot and discussed the future plans for the course. Oh and we made it around in two hours and forty-five minutes and I birdied Killiecrankie. That’s pretty close to perfection for me.
