Haha, great point! Any recommendations on where I can get a good golf club fitting before the tournament?

22

I suggest visiting the local pro shops at courses like Cabot Links. They have excellent fitting services and great tips for preparation.

23

Does anyone know if the tournament includes a junior division? I’d love for my son to participate too!

24

Great question, ereed! The tournament does have a junior division. It’s a fantastic opportunity for young golfers!

25

Thanks for clarifying! How do we get him registered for that?

26

You can register your son online. It’s as simple as filling out the form for the junior division; just be sure to get it done early!

If you’re looking for the best golf in Nova Scotia, definitely check out Cabot Links and Cape Breton Golf Club. As for equipment, a good set of hybrids can really help on those windy days!

Absolutely agree, Sarah! The coastal winds can be tricky, so I recommend a low-spin driver to help with accuracy instead.

What about shoes? I’ve heard cleats are recommended, but are there specific brands that work best on these courses?

30

Good question! Waterproof shoes are a must in Nova Scotia due to the damp conditions. I love my FootJoy shoes for comfort and support.

31

Hitting the ball lower can help with those windy days too! Just remember to adjust your grip. Anyone else have swing tips?

32

Absolutely! I also suggest practicing with a heavier ball for better control in the wind. It can really make a difference on the course!

33

For equipment, consider getting a solid putter for those tricky greens. They’re often fast and undulating here!

Great point! I’ve also seen success using alignment aids on my putter. It really helped me line up better!

35

A good rangefinder can help you gauge the distance, especially when you’re dealing with those elevation changes. Has anyone found a favorite brand?

36

I swear by my Bushnell! Accurate and super easy to use. What do the rest of you think about tech on the course?

37

Tech can really be a double-edged sword! Sometimes I feel it overcomplicates the game. What’s wrong with just trusting your instincts?..

38

True, but I think using these tools helps beginners grasp the game faster. Plus, who doesn’t love those gadgets?

For dealing with those changing weather conditions, layering is key! I once played in a downpour and learned the hard way.
