Golf Atlantic Expo Moves to Moncton, New Brunswick, ~ April 11 - 13, 2008 ~

Here are some excerpts from the press release for the Golf Atlantic Expo:

========================

The Atlantic Chapter of the National Golf Course Owners Association Canada in partnership with the Dundee SportsDome will host Golf Atlantic Expo in Moncton at the dome from April 11^th - 13^th, 2008.

Golf Atlantic Expo, originally known as the Halifax Golf & Travel Show, is Atlantic Canada’s only consumer golf show, and for the past (5) years has been held in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Based on the strong golf market in Moncton and the very positive discussions with the owners of the SportsDome, management of Golf Atlantic Expo are very excited to bring this event to Moncton in 2008. “We have been looking for a permanent home for the show in a market that really supports the golf industry and being a former Monctonian, I am confident that we have made the right decision” stated David McCafferty, Regional Director – NGCOA Canada - Atlantic Chapter.

"I am thrilled to partner with the NGCOA Canada – Atlantic Chapter to put on this exciting event. Our facility with our indoor golf range is a natural fit for a golf show. I am bouncing with excitement as we plan to roll out our innovative and never-done-before experiences for golfers such as: project a thirty-plus foot LIVE broadcast of the Masters Golf Tournament against the Dome, Big Break Tournament, Snag Golf for kids, clubhouse & beverage area to relax, and much more", stated Jules Leger, President and Founder of the Dundee SportsDome.

St. George Golf Club

The St. George Golf Club is a fairly new course. I overlooked this course when I first added the golf courses to NB Sport Spots.

Apparently many of the members of this club are former members of the St. Andrews Golf Club. Some St. Andrews members were upset when the provincial government "upgraded" the St. Andrews course. I have been told the upgrades at St. Andrews have turned it into a world class course but I guess some people preferred the original course which was the oldest course in Atlantic Canada. Warning - the preceding info is unverified, barber shop gossip ;-).

Thanks to Colin Pike who informed me of this omission. I encourage everybody to send me feedback on errors or omissions they find on the NB Sport Spots website.

Gymnasium Map Coming Soon

Soon I will be adding a map showing the locations of gymnasiums around the province. I have wanted to add this information for quite a while and this will be a great addition to the site. It will be very helpful for all of the people who participate in basketball, volleyball, badminton, and other indoor sports around the province. The map won't be 100% complete when it is first added. I am counting on you to submit additions and corrections to the gymnasium map.
