  • This golfing yea

  • Man does not live by golf alone. But there are times when he feels he'd like to. Times like Spring, Summer and Fall in Nova Scotia.

    To the rest of the world Nova Scotia is Canada's Ocean Play-ground. To our visiting and vaca-tioning golfers Nova Scotia is a land of breathtaking natural beauty, laced with fresh waters and sur-rounded by the sea; where the golfing year begins with all the sparkle of early spring—a time of lilacs and apple blossoms, a grow-ing of vivid green, fresh sea winds,

    and cool clean air sweeping from rivers and lakes and streams.

    Where the summer sun sets slowly on long warm days, with the ocean as our humidity moderator, so that when you've finished 18, you feel like 18 more. And where autumn often seems half-summer, continuing warm and colorful as if reluctant to signal the golfer the beginning of his season's end.

    Nova Scotia confronts the golfer with an embarrassment of riches in choice and variety of courses. He can play a course so situated and designed that he may imagine him-self on a sea-side links in Britain. He can turn inland and play a course winding through valleys and rolling through hills, that may remind him of the Poconos, or Spain, or parts of Gary Player's native land. And in the highlands of our Cape Breton Island, he'll play a course combining "seaside, valley, and mountainous terrain" that appears to have been trans-ported from California's Big Sur country.

    And this perhaps, you as a golfer, will find to be Nova Scotia's great-est appeal—the variety and diver-sity of our courses. You know the challenge and delights of playing different courses. In Nova Scotia, you can know the pleasures of dis-covery and the thrill of testing yourself against different kinds of courses.

    But, as we said, we are Canada's Ocean Playground, rich with vaca-tion delights, history and the res-torative pleasures of life by the sea. Which means that members of the golfer's family can have the vacation time of their lives, while he's having the golfing time of his.

    BANFF S P R I N G S HOTEL A N D G C : 8 0

    miles from Calgary, is located at the junction of the Bow and the Spray Riv-ers, in a circle of mounta ins . Easily reached by the T r a n s - C a n a d a High-way; by bus, train, or by air from Cal-gary . The golf course , a lmost a mile above sea level, is 6,729 yards of scenic thrills and golf challenges. Tower ing m o u n t a i n s a r o u n d the cou r se o f t e n cause g o l f e r s to u n d e r e s t i m a t e d is -tances. The seventh hole is carved from the face of Mount Rundle, and tons of rock were quar r i ed for this 513-yard par-five called " G i b r a l t a r . " There is much wildlife on the course. Banff Na-tional Park is a game preserve, and ani-mals are fearless and quite tame. Green fees: $7.50; $8 weekends.

    Accommodation rates at the 600-room hotel run f rom $25 for single oc-cupancy, and $30 for double, on the European Plan. Season is June to Sep-tember. Facilities include swimming in fresh water pools maintained at 74 to 78 degrees.

    JASPER PARK LODGE A N D GC: I s l o -

    cated 177 miles north of Banff and is easily reached by road, train, bus or air f r o m E d m o n t o n . I t is a lso access i -ble by the spec tacular Icefield High-way. Jasper is sur rounded by moun-tain ranges, and the 6,455-yard golf course was hewn out of the slopes of the Rockies. In 1914, Sir Ar thur C o n a n Doyle, c rea tor of Sherlock Holmes , tried his hand at creating a golf course here, but Stanley T h o m p s o n planned and supervised the construction of the course in 1923-24. Train-loads of soil were imported, as the rock and bush of the area suppor ted very little grass . Each bunker has a definite design—a rose, a footprint, an artist's palette. The water supply for the fairways, tees and greens is obtained by means of a gravity system which also supplies the water for the lodge. At the ninth hole you drive straight for the 9,000-foot pin-nac le of P y r a m i d M o u n t a i n . T h e green and bunkers of the ninth were originally shaped in the form of a huge, r e c u m b e n t f e m a l e , but o b j e c t i o n s

    were raised on the grounds that this de-sign would put male golfers off their ap-proaches, so the contours have been flattened out. But the hole retains its name—Cleopa t r a . Wild animals fre-quent the course. A bull moose once took over the water hole on the 10th fairway, and golfers had to shoot over him for two months. Sometimes bears squat on the benches and watch golfers tee off.

    The course is the setting for the an-nual T o t e m Pole T o u r n a m e n t for amateurs, begun in 1929. The trophy stands more than two feet high and the pole itself is cast in silver. Bing Crosby won the tourney in 1947. Green fees: $8; $10 weekends.

    A c c o m m o d a t i o n is f r o m $27 .50 , shared occupancy, Facilities include t enn i s , s w i m m i n g , r id ing, h ik ing , boating, nightly entertainment.

In s u m m e r , buses run daily from these cities to the park, and Lethbridge is served by Air C a n a d a . The par-71 course is 6,103 yards long and very hilly.

    BRITISH COLUMBIA Strange as it may seem, there is a place in Canada where golf is played all year. It's beautiful British Columbia, where some of the country's finest courses rarely see snow, and the golfer has a 12-month season.
