After putting out for a double-bogey (I’m pretty good at those) on the 17th hole at the Sheep Ranch – the newest 18-hole course at the legendary Bandon Dunes Golf Resort on the Oregon Coast – I walked over to a leaning, wind-tormented pine clinging to the edge of the bluff and took in the […]

The hike to the summit took us a whopping 26 minutes. No Sherpas were needed. Ice axes, rope, bottled oxygen? Nope.

An agent appeared in Calgary Court of King’s Bench on Friday for defence counsel Pawel Milczarek to request a one-day severance hearing on June 17, on […]
