Magic At Meadow Gardens As Coquit lam Pro Michael Caan Shoot s 59 And Goes For A Swim Now that he?s dried himself off and had some time to reflect on the round of his life, Michael Caan still can?t quite believe what happened. His round of 59, which ended with a celebratory dive into the pond surrounding the 18th green at Meadow Gardens Golf Course that went viral on social media, remains a bit of a blur. Especially the closing few holes, when the 27-year-old Coquitlam pro realized he had a chance to do something special. INSIDE GOLF

Pheasant Glen Not Pulling Punches W it h Different Approach To Aerat ing Greens The Qualicum Beach facility takes a very controversial approach to aerating greens... they don't. If there is one thing golfers don't like, it is arriving at a course to find the greens have been recently aerated. But most golfers will grudgingly accept the necessity. That is not the case at Pheasant Glen, a course well known for good manicure and smooth putting surfaces... good enough to co-host the BC Amateur in 2018. INSIDE GOLF
