This is going to be a difficult article to write.
For starters, I’m not a professional writer. I’m also penning it the day after the RBC Scramble National Final at Cabot Cape Breton, where over the course of four nights I spent more hours in the bar — Whit’s Public House — than I did in my villa’s bed. But even if I didn’t have this crippling hangover, I’m not sure I’d find the right words anyway. How could I possibly do Cabot’s two courses, the tournament, the friendships made, the laughs bellowed, the Michelob Ultras drank — all the memories — justice?
I’ve heard that writers hate clichés, and editors even more so, so if I said this experience left me speechless the man overseeing SCOREGolf content would surely roll his eyes and regret giving me this assignment. But I’m just a 35-year-old hack who had the opportunity to play in the country’s greatest amateur golf event, held at two of its most iconic courses. So, if I’m left speechless or feel the need to express myself with an expletive, well then, sorry to all and here goes.
