SB XIX (2014)

With the  British Open now concluded and the Canadian Open upon us, it’s time to focus on another great golf tradition –  the 19th edition of the Sandbagger.  

 
As indicated by email, for 2014 we will be making a return to Smugglers Glen on the weekend of September 5-6-7.

Response has been so good that I had to ask Glen House Resort to add four spots to our reservation.  We now have enough tee times and rooms reserved for up to 20 golfers.

Tee times have been booked as follows:
  • Friday, Sept. 5 – 2:20, 2:30, 2:40, 2:50 and 3:00
  • Saturday, Sept. 6 – 10:40, 10:50, 11:00, 11:10 and 11:20
  • Sunday, Sept. 7 – 10:20, 10:30, 10:40, 10:50 and 11:00
This year, we have a package deal that includes: 2 nights accommodation, 3 rounds of golf + cart, 2 breakfasts, 2 dinners.  The cost  is $431 plus tax per person.

To reserve your spot contact Jeanine Hunter at the Glen House Resort. She will take a $100 deposit. Jeanine’s phone # is 1-800-268-4536 x302. Her email is [email protected].   As of today, there are 18 Sandbaggers who have registered with Smugglers Glen with one or two others still weighing the decision.

 
In case you are wondering, the list of confirmed attendees is below. To help acquaint or re-acquaint some of you with our field, note that I’ve added some links to bios, LinkedIn profiles or, in one individual’s case, videos (click on player names). Note also the presence of a rookie in this year’s line-up – please treat Scott Feschuk with the appropriate level of respect:

 

Hockley, Derrick
Jarvis, Greg
Posthumus, Andrew

I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Here are directions to the course.
