In January of 2011 I stared down the road of a new season of the most aggravatingly enjoyable sport on the planet.
While still a new comer to the sport (2011 was only my 6th season) for the first time I was not feeling excited about a new season of sneaking out every second I could to whack at that little white ball.
Something was missing. It was at this time I stumbled on the NCGT website (maybe like you are doing right now!).
What the NCGT offered was fun and enjoyable golf with people who love the 'sport' of the game... competition. I had to plan a season around ten different events at ten different courses, 9 of which I have never played before.
Before NCGT my attitude was why would I ever get up at 5am just to drive to Renfrew to play golf? What has Montebello got to offer that others courses don't? What's the difference between an older course and one built recently? Links style and traget golf? Why would you ever play golf in the rain?
Put these demands on your game of golf and the sport opens a whole new world to explore. My practice at the driving range is now based on my last NCGT tournament and I practice rain or shine.
Next year as soon as the season is posted I will be booking practice rounds at the courses NCGT has decided to use. I came in last place this year and didn't win a penny and I still can't wait to sign up next year.
OR
5 years ago a good friend introduced me to the game of golf. This year NCGT has introduced me to the sport of golf and I can't wait for next year!
