Ben Cowan-Dewar tau mus xyuas ntau pua qhov chaw thoob ntiaj teb, tsis tu ncua tshawb nrhiav cov palette zoo tshaj plaws uas tsim kom muaj chav golf. Ntau zaus tshaj tsis, nws tau dhau mus. Tab sis tsib feeb rau hauv nws mus ntsib rau sab qaum teb kawg ntawm St. Lucia, tus co-founder ntawm Cabot hom paub tias nws muaj qee yam tshwj xeeb.

"Kuv tsuas yog yuav tsum tau ua qhov kev ntaus golf no thiab txiav txim siab," Cowan-Dewar hais txog qhov chaw rugged, ntug hiav txwv-npau qhov chaw uas yuav dhau los ua tsev rau Point Hardy Golf Club, Cabot thawj chav kawm hauv Caribbean.

Kev koom tes dua nrog pab pawg tsim qauv nto moo ntawm Bill Coore thiab Ben Crenshaw, Cowan-Dewar thiab nws cov hom Cabot loj hlob tau tsim ib qho kev xav tau tshiab tshaj plaws ntawm lub xyoo. Qhov kev sib tw kaw ntawm Point Hardy yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev ua yeeb yam: qhov ua yeeb yam hauv lub puab tsaig poob qis, nrog kev quab yuam nqa hla pob zeb jagged thiab tsoo nthwv dej ntawm txhua qhov kaw plaub qhov. Rau qee qhov, cov duab ntawm qhov rov qab-rau-rov qab par 3's ntawm 16 thiab 17 evoke kev sib piv rau ib qho kev ua si qhov chaw dawb huv tshaj plaws hauv Cypress Point ntawm California's Monterey Peninsula.

Cowan-Dewar, uas kuj tau tsim Cabot thaj chaw hauv Scotland, Florida thiab British Columbia ntxiv rau nws qhov chaw qub hauv Nova Scotia, Canada, uas muaj ob lub 18 qhov cov chav kawm suav nrog Coore & Crenshaw-tsim Cabot Cliffs.

"Muab Bill thiab Ben cuaj qhov chaw ntsuab nyob hauv dej hiav txwv zoo li kev dag me ntsis hauv peb txoj kev lag luam," Cowan-Dewar ntxiv tom qab peb ua tiav kev taug kev ntawm chav kawm.

Yog li ntawd nws yog tiag tiag txog tig nws rau lawv thiab tso siab rau lawv, uas tsis nyuaj dhau los ua. "

Ib tug xov tooj ntawm lub qhov ntawm Point Hardy yog playable lawm, tab sis cov chav kawm yog teem rau tag nrho qhib rau lub Kaum Ob Hlis. Thaum nws ua li ntawd, nws tsuas yog qhib rau cov tswv cuab thiab cov tswv cuab yav tom ntej thiab cov tswv tsev ntawm Cabot St. Lucia, kev tawm mus los ntawm kev mob siab rau golf getaways Cabot tau tsim nyob rau hauv Cape Breton thiab Scottish Highlands.

"Qee zaum, peb paub tus neeg ntaus golf uas mob siab rau uas yuav tuaj rau Cape Breton yuav tuaj rau St. Lucia, tab sis tib neeg mus rau sab qab teb Caribbean nrog lawv tsev neeg - txawm tias lawv niam lawv txiv thiab lawv cov menyuam, lossis lawv cov menyuam thiab lawv cov xeeb ntxwv," hais tias Cowan-Dewar. "Tsis tshua muaj leej twg tuaj rau sab qab teb Caribbean li peb tus txiv neej mus ua si golf, thaum peb pom tias hauv Cape Breton thiab hauv Scotland."

Rau Cabot, golf yog ib txwm nyob pem hauv ntej thiab nruab nrab. Nws yog hais txog kev tsim cov chav golf zoo nkauj hauv qhov chaw zoo kawg thiab nyob ib puag ncig uas muaj kev nco qab. Tab sis lub tuam txhab tus qauv kev lag luam hloov pauv hauv kev lag luam sib txawv.

Cowan-Dewar tau hais tias "Yog tias peb txuas ntxiv mus thiab sau peb tus kheej mus rau qhov chaw no, hais tias nws yuav zoo ib yam nyob txhua qhov chaw, kuv tsuas yog tsis xav tias nws yuav ua haujlwm," Cowan-Dewar tau hais. "Kuv tsis tau xav tias qhov ntawd yog txoj hauv kev los ntsuas qhov ntsuas thiab nws txhais tau tias koj yuav tsum txhob txwm tshaj tawm thiab xav. Tab sis cia siab tias dhau ob xyoo lawm koj tab tom mloog koj cov neeg siv khoom thiab koj tab tom kawm qhov lawv xav tau. "

St. Lucia unquestionably yog ntau ntawm ib tsev neeg los yog khub niam txiv lub hom phiaj tshaj li ib tug phooj ywg mus ncig ua si golf getaway. Nyob rau hauv qhov kev hwm, nws zoo ib yam li Cabot Revelstoke qhov project, uas yog nyob rau hauv ib cheeb tsam alpine hu ua heli-skiing peev ntawm lub ntiaj teb no. Tab sis ntxiv rau cov dej, hnub, xuab zeb thiab cov kab lis kev cai hauv zos, kuj tseem muaj lub sijhawm los tsim cov chav golf tshwj xeeb tiag tiag ntawm cov cuab yeej tshwj xeeb hauv St. Lucia.

“Muaj ib qho laj thawj mus rau Revelstoke uas muaj nyob uas zoo kawg nkaus yam tsis muaj golf. Thiab kuv xav tias qhov tseeb ntawm St. Lucia. Muaj ntau ntau yam uas koj yuav tuaj ntawm no rau hnub so, "Cowan-Dewar hais. "Tab sis thaum koj xav txog Caribbean, thaum muaj kev ntaus golf zoo heev, tsis muaj ntau qhov kev ntaus golf raws li peb tau pom hauv Asmeskas lossis Canada uas yuav tawg lub ntiaj teb saum 100. Muaj Cov hniav ntawm tus dev uas yog ua tus tseem ceeb hauv daim ntawv teev npe ntev dua li kuv tau muaj sia nyob, yog li nws xav tias zoo li tej zaum muaj lub sijhawm. Yog tias peb tuaj yeem pom qhov chaw zoo thiab tig Bill thiab Ben xoob, peb yuav mus rau qee yam. "

Thiab thaum Cowan-Dewar thawj zaug mus xyuas Point Hardy cov cuab yeej xya xyoo dhau los nrog nws tus poj niam, nws paub tias nws tau pom qhov chaw tshwj xeeb tsib feeb hauv.

Crenshaw, tus yeej Masters Kev Sib Tw ob zaug, tau lees paub qhov kev xav tau zoo heev uas nws nyuaj rau kev tsom mus rau qee qhov ntawm chav kawm. Tab sis nws kuj yog ib qhov chaw uas yog ib qho tshwj xeeb rau Coore-Crenshaw tsim, nrog rau qhov kev hloov pauv loj thiab thaj chaw loj heev uas yuav zoo li tsis zoo rau lawv cov kev coj ua tsis zoo.

"Bill thiab kuv tau hais los ntawm qhov pib tias peb yuav tsum ua qhov kev ua si no kom tau txais tib neeg nyob ib puag ncig," Crenshaw hais. "Peb nthuav dav txoj hauv kev ntawm kev ua si me ntsis, thiab cov zaub ntsuab me me loj dua, tab sis nrog ib hnub ib txwm nyob ntawd nws tseem tshuab 20 (mais ib teev). Tab sis ua si hla caj npab ntawm dej hiav txwv, koj tsuas yog tsis tau txais qhov ntawd ntau zaus.

"Bill ib zaug hais txog qhov chaw no uas koj xav sim ua kom phim qhov chaw," Crenshaw ntxiv. "Thiab qhov ntawd yog qhov xav nug ntau vim tias nws zoo heev."
