What a Sunday at Augusta. In one of the most memorable and exciting final rounds in recent Major Championship history, Rory McIlroy fended off the competition and his own internal demons to finally complete the career Grand Slam at the Masters. In a lot of ways the final round was a microcosm of Rory’s career. He began by blowing the lead he had built with an indifferent start.
Hello friends. After a bit of a hiatus last year our newsletter is back for the 2025 season. We hope you enjoy hearing from us on Monday mornings and we love to share what’s happening at our facility with our customers.
It’s official! We are moving to our New Location next week!
We will be closed on Monday, July 8 and Tuesday, July 9 while we move our equipment to the new location. We will Reopen on Wednesday, July 10 at the new store at 3416 114 Ave SE.
I missed the game last night, does anyone know who didn’t win?
What a scene on Sunday at the Travelers. I would really like to know what was running through Scottie Scheffler’s mind when the police were running toward him on 18 on Sunday to arrest protesters who had stormed the green. Luckily, this time Scottie wasn’t arrested and went on to win the tournament on the first playoff hole over Tom Kim. For those counting at home, that makes six wins before July 1 for Scottie. That’s….pretty good.
(After Rory ghosted the media after his final round on Sunday, your newsletter writer was apparently inspired to do the same so we apologize for arriving in your inbox a day late.)
Well that was a U.S. Open to remember! An absolutely thrilling final round was filled with both wonderful shotmaking and critical mistakes. It was everything you hope for from a U.S. Open.
Anyone else looking forward to a long shower and watering their lawn sometime next week?
Scottie Scheffler won again. SHOCKER. After having the charges against him dropped by the Louisville PD last week, Scheffler dropped the elevated field at the Memorial to win his fifth tournament in 8 starts. Once again, we are witnessing historic golf and the US Open awaits at Pinehurst this weekend.
Busy weekend out there, let’s get to it!
The RBC Canadian Open was played in Hamilton this weekend and while Mackenzie Hughes couldn’t make it two in a row for Canadians, Robert MacIntyre winning in a scrappy effort with his father caddying for him this week was still a great story. It’s great to see the status of the Canadian Open continue to elevate with better fields showing up and exciting competition. Hopefully with the spot on the calendar the week before the US Open perhaps it can carve a niche similar to the Scottish Open where players use it as a tune up to prepare for the Open the next week.
Change is coming to Leading Edge Golf as we prepare to move to a new indoor facility in the coming weeks. That’s right, after many years at our current home we have decided to make the move to our own dedicated facility.
What a classic May Long Weekend. You get all excited, make tee times, plan bbqs, just to get rained on. At least it’s helping with the drought?
At least there was golf on tv and the PGA Championship delivered. A stacked leaderboard fought it out on Sunday before Xander Schauffele nailed a birdie on 18 to take home his first major. Xander gets a lot of grief for no-showing in big moments despite his elite skill level but he showed some real resolve on Sunday at Valhalla.
It’s warming up here in Calgary and the trees are leafing out as it starts to feel like summer. Unfortunately, the feeling of summer lately has also included the burning sensation of wildfire smoke in our nostrils as it did for a bit this weekend. Here’s hoping things don’t get too bad this year.
