Gary McDonald "inRefinement" by A. McPope

Several years ago, my son Greg gave me a steel pan, lid and spatula and a procedure to prepare a steak au jus that was fit for a King. This I have done for many friends to their absolute delight. I am taking this skill to new heights using cook books like Natasha's Kitchen, Epicurious, Reluctant Gourmet, Simply Home Cooking, Food Not Rocket Science, Allrecipes and Delish. Food Not Rocket Science is Greg's collection of recipes that he started with David Hogg in 2005. Dutch Oven Braised Lamb Shank Pork Tenderloin/Apricot glaze Top Sirloin Chicago style with cold lobster claws These pictures are featured on Facebook and the traction they're creating goes farther than Terryl's phone calls. We have brought home a Ninja Foodie cooking machine which will influence our meal choices. This machine Pressure Cooks, Steams, Slow Cooks, Sears, Air Crisps, Roasts, Broils and Dehydrates all of which tells me I may default to the Ninja instead of the trie...

When this point is reached, however long the battle may go on, the victor can never be the victor: on the contrary, all his energies, his entire life are bound up in a terror he cannot articulate, a...

I spent 1.5 hours on the practice driving range June 1, 2020; and left with a couple of tips on the grip and swing that will be employed on opening day. I readily admit, that a Rory McIlroy I've never been. Suffice it to say all I'm looking for is a swing from a 78 year old that is capable of breaking 80 from the green tees at BGC. The importance of the above is that I still think I can do it and I'm willing to work at it. Last year it happened once and the boys proclaimed, "He's back."  Bubba Watson and Alexander McPope Bermuda GC May 2019 This season began like no other; Covid-19 forced a lockdown that affected everyone in the world and our little world at Brampton Golf Club was no different. We usually open in early April but this year it was six weeks later. The upside is that the course was in great shape, dry with summer-like temperatures and a little roll on the fairways and greens with the speed sure to come. I'll tee it up with Kyran Bartl...
