It's a milestone show, and we thought we would do something fun to celebrate. Instead of a best of, or a highlight show from our 100 episodes, we take on a classic list from one of golf's most respected journalists, with a twist.
On multiple occasions, George Peper of Golf Magazine produced a top 100 bucket list of golf events to fill your golf life with. We have modified it slightly to be more relevant to us as Canadians, and we run through the list to see where we stand with it while sharing a few related stories.

Social media platforms provide a way for content creators to get their work seen, which is no different when it comes to golf.
On this episode our big back 9 discussion is all about it. We mostly have a look at the "entertainment" type channels; who were are keeping an eye on, who we like to watch and why, and maybe even some hints on who could be emerging in this scene.
On the front nine, we wrap up the Solheim Cup, discuss the latest events for the Ottawa Valley Golf Association and PGA of Ottawa, and talk about collegiate golf in Canada. That includes a recent NCAA D1 men's event in Canada and what we saw when we dropped out to a Canadian university golf tournament that included some of the best teams from Ontario and Quebec.
