| CTV Sports says "A Great Track...Great Staff" |
Derek Bidwell, The People's Sportscaster from CTV Sports, had lots to say about his round at Wintergreen. Here is what he had to say: "Wintergreen is one of my favourite courses in the city and for those that haven't been I love to take them especially those from out of town. A short drive and you are in a cool, unique, ol'west feeling community in Bragg Creek, and down the road your golfing in the beautifull mountain scenary. A great track......great staff......and would be a favourite of yours after your first visit"

| From White to Green? Fantastic Opening Conditions at Wintergreen Wait Patiently! |
Wintergreen Golf & Country Club waits patiently under a blanket of fresh snow. Fingers crossed for the new scheduled course opening of Saturday May 8th! Albeit that the snow has slightly delayed early opening, the added moisture will nicely hydrate the already fantastic opening conditions at Wintergreen Golf & Country Club.
In the meantime, snow golf anyone?

| Wintergreen #1 on Leader Board of Calgary Herald Survey! |
In week three of the Calgary Herald Reader Survey of "Favourite Golf Holes", Wintegreen's Hole #1 remains in the number one spot of Top Par 5's. A new twist in the survey is the chance to win two pairs of VIP passes for the up and coming CN Canadian Women's Open running from Aug. 31 to Sept. 6 at Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club.
There is no denying that hole #1 at Wintergreen is deserving of its recognition but what about the incredible unique challenge of the down-hill, dog leg on #10 (par 4) or the beautiful feature hole #15 (par 3)?

| Golf is FUN & Great Exercise! |
Playing a round of golf can be great exercise! If you really need any more excuses to hit the course, here are some great health benefits of the game that will clear your conscious when sneaking off to play:
- Walking the course will put 3 to 5 miles on your pedometre
- Walking is a great low-impact, cardiovascular exercise that gets your heart and lungs pumping without the strain on your joints
- Burn over 400 calories if carrying clubs, 300 if using a pull cart.
- The repetition of swinging clubs can help tone muscle, improve flexibility, range of motion, balance, and hand-eye coordination.
- The great outdoors and the enjoyment of the sport itself provides excellent mental health benefits!
