In the News

[Jeffrey Reed]

The golf season is well under way in Grey-Bruce and some of the area's finest clubs are offering super deals this spring (see list below).

It promises to be an exciting season with Wayne Gretzky and the Naitonwide Tour returning the area for the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic July 6-12.

One of the big questions is "Can former NBA star Charles Barkley fix his swing in time to make a return to the Gretzky event?" (He has yet to confirm his attendance but we remain hopeful).

For those of you who won a FREE round of golf at the Toronto Golf & Travel Show, just call ahead to book your tee time and prepare yourself for an awesome golf experience. For anyone who picked up a Stay & Play in Grey-Bruce golf guide at the Toronto show, please note that the ad for the Stay & Play package at Chippewa Golf and Country Club & the Super 8 Motel in Port Elgin failed to note that the deal includes power carts with the two rounds of golf. The package, starting at $135 per person, also includes one night's accommodation, hot breakfast, light lunch daily and a sleeve of Super 8 golf balls.

For further information about Grey-Bruce Golf Stay and Play packages you can click on the following link (http://www.greybrucegolf.com) or open the attached PDF. Thanks. We look forward to seeing you this season.
