Chapter Five
Lionhead Golf Club July 2024
For Chapter 5, we shared the story of Shop Out Of Bounds.
Proudly Canadian, Shop Out Of Bounds focuses on making premium clothing and accessories affordable to all while donating a portion of their profits to help grow the game of golf in Canada.
As our goodies sponsors, they gifted each of our leaguers one of their unisex belts and a magnetic towel waiting for them in their personal lockers.
Pre-Round
For Chapter Five, our range session focused on prepping our leaguers for The Legends course. Whether it was working with coaching professional Chloe Woods or receiving treatment from MVPR Therapy, our leaguers used this time to get ready on the range, at the putting practice area and in the chipping area.
The Round
Our leaguers took on the Legends Course at Lionhead Golf Club, one of Canada's most challenging golf courses, with a slope rating of 77.5/155 rating from the back tees. Course architect Ted Baker says he intended to design the golf course where "par is elusive."
The two Lionhead golf courses are set on 520 acres of rolling hills and wetlands, and the Legends plays over the Credit River numerous times. This is no wee burn, with a carry of about 60-80 yards across. The back nine is especially wetlands-heavy, built in environmentally protected areas, requiring some very tight shots and carries over the river.
The front nine is the more straightforward of the two nines with one exception: the 425-yard, par-4 first, which plays over the Credit River on the second shot to an elevated green protected in front by four bunkers.
