My brother is a tattoo artist and I work in product ops. This started as a text exchange on September 3rd, and just over a month later we have a website for custom-coloured, hand-drawn golf course prints.

We wanted our first courses to be Canadian, so we started at either end of the country. Banff Springs was my pick. Cabot Cliffs was his, and I don't think anyone here needs convincing on that one.

So: this is Cabot Cliffs, 12x18, in our "Butter on Pine" colourway. Every fairway, bunker and green is drawn by hand, then giclée printed on 230gsm archival paper (and framed, if you want it) here in Canada.

Full disclosure: it's our shop. I'd really value opinions from people who know the course. Does it read like Cabot to you? And when we draw another Cape Breton course, should it be Cabot Links or Thompson's other masterpiece, Highlands Links?

Yesterday was a beautiful day for the annual Millville “Oct Fest” and pumpkin weigh off. It was a tough, wet year for pumpkin growing, but there were some respectable entrants. The winner from the greenhouse-raised group weighed in at 409 lbs, while the leading field entrant was ~105 lbs.

Thanks to the organizers and the bakers of baked goods.

If anyone wants to try their hand at growing an enormous pumpkin next year, then you’ll want to get your seeds planted (indoors) by March.
