Video: 2016 Award Nominees, Redan, Doak's Reversible Course

In the spirit of movie awards season, Gary Williams, Matt Ginella and I kick around who we see grabbing the year-end awards next year as a harmless way to preview some of 2016's starring courses.

Matt Ginella's visit to Tom Doak's reversible course under construction.

Ginella and I discuss the Redan.

Cabot Cliffs is an amazing piece of the Earth. Cape Breton in general is worth the trip. Cabot Links is the most fun course I have played, and the Cliffs looks amazing (I have only walked it). I can't speak for any of the other courses they talked about, but if you get a chance, come play these courses. You will not be disappointed. And with the way our Dollar is going, it'll likely be the most economical decision you can make.

Geoff,

I got to watch all but a couple of short segments thru the week, and I felt like yall did a very commendable job; informative and entertaining.

I found the Doak Two Step to be well done, and I hope I can play it both ways and do the sleep over that was talked about in the interviews. Have you seen it yet? the whole idea reminds me of several 9 holers in South Texas that have the second ''9'' you play to be from a set of tees that are no where near the ''first 9'', so you do have 18 holes, in effect, just like this is actually 36 holes as was suggested.

Pretty cool.

And Matt was very professional, which I thought was a plus for him, or at least for my opinion of him.

Best drinking game ever: Matty dropping the names Keiser, Coore, Crenshaw, Bandon or Cabot. Lucky Keiser never even has to buy an ad on Golf Channel.

@BDF, you are so right.

The USD : CAD exchange rate is the best it's been in years; It is like getting one free day for every 3 days you spend in Canada.

Nova Scotia is an undiscovered gem................only a 2 hour flight from the NYC region.......

BDF and Bob...........

Excuse my ignorance, but do you have to have a passport to go to Nova Scotia for less than a week? And where do you fly into, from Houston, if you know.

thanks, and ~*~**Season's Greetings**~*~ from Texas

[Bob...]

Yes a passport is required for entry...

I fly into Halifax....plenty of flights out of the NY region airports (Laguardia, Newark, Philly)...from Houston you can fly to New York/Philly area...some flights route you thru Toronto....

It is easy peazy........Today's exchange rate is 1: 1.37..that means that $200 per night hotel rate is actually $147 in USD.

I use Kayak to find flights..
