Get ready for a double dose of golf insights and exciting discussions! In the Front Nine, we kick things off with a look at the CPKC Women's Open, just a month and a half away (August 20-24) at the historic Mississaugua Golf & Country Club. Get the inside scoop on the star-studded field, including World No. 1 Nelly Korda, three-time champion and 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist Lydia Ko; and Canadian fan-favorite Brooke Henderson. Plus, we'll recap the exciting Flagstick.com PGA of Ottawa Zone ClubEG Pro-Pro Championship, where Tyler Epp and Dan McNeely clinched a dramatic victory with an 8-under-par 64, and Graham Gunn and Dany Lacombe secured their third Senior Division title. 

Then, in the Back Nine, we tackle a pressing issue in the golf world: the rise of poor behaviour on golf courses. From pace of play issues and neglecting course care to outright disrespect towards fellow golfers and staff, we'll dissect what's happening and why. Is it simply a growth problem with more new golfers, or a deeper cultural shift? We'll explore common examples of disruptive behaviour and delve into the root causes, including lack of education and entitlement. Most importantly, we'll discuss the significant impact on golfers, staff, and course conditions, and consider what might need to be done to foster a more respectful and enjoyable environment for everyone.
