Cabot Links Opens For Season Unveiling New 12th Hole
« on: May 07, 2013, 08:05:49 AM »
Cabot Links opened yesterday and unveiled its new 12th hole. The new hole a par three now makes a total of 6 holes that are directly adjacent to the ocean.

“I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps, and the Highlands of Scotland,” said inventor Alexander Graham Bell, who spent 37 summers here. “But for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all.”

Don,

Thanks.  That hole looks like it'd be fearsome in a 2-3 club wind (particularly for a lefty slicer)!  You forgot to mention the equally exciting Cabot Public House..   ;)

By the way, we have room for a few more as it would be good to have eight.  Email me for details.

Jud,

Never fear, the picture is of the tees of the long par 4 16th, not the new 12th.  You can always aim inland and slice it back.   ;D

Don,
Thanks for the mention, it is another great golf day today. Rod and I went out and played a couple of holes on Sunday and it is amazing how far it has come in a year.

Look forward to seeing you all at some point this year.

Here is a photo of the new hole, taken last year.

Michael....man, you are in for a treat.  I can't wait to get back there.  Probably end up being a few weeks after you when I get back.  Make sure they give you a tour of the land for the second course.  I have no doubt that the land Coore/Crenshaw have is and will be the best piece of property they ever get to work on.  When the second course is done (and I absolutely LOVE the first course), their one/two punch will be rock solid!   Enjoy!

Thanks, Ted! With the added festivities of celebrating my buddy's 50th birthday I KNOW we will have a blast!!!

Ben - I'm looking forward to meeting you! Can't wait to see everything. Hopefully we will be able to tour the new property.  I'm a bit bummed out that I didn't win the contest to name the pub ;) but, I'm looking forward to sampling your selection of ales!!!!!!!!!! See you soon!
