In Alan Schilling’s mind, there’s nothing like getting outside and spending the day playing golf.

President of MMI and a member of the Pines golf course at Lake Isabella, Schilling likes the activity, the fresh air and the scenery.

Michigan’s climate makes it impossible for Schilling and other golf enthusiasts to get out on the course this time of year, but the Mt. Pleasant Country Club is now offering the next best thing.

But compared to, say, Thailand, which would have leveraged the public relations opportunity that such an association brings to lure even larger droves of golf tourists, India’s relative lack of accessible layouts scuppers any such spin-off.

Highland Yacht Club – Lake Ontario’s hidden jewel of a Yacht Club

The formation of Glacial Lake Iroquois, at the end of the last ice age, was to have a lasting effect on the boating activity on Lake Ontario. Many years ago, as the lake eroded, it left geological records through alluvial deposits from the Bluffs, which then settled westward to form the Toronto Islands. More recently, the erosion rate picked up quickly in the 1940s when cottages were being built along the bluffs to capitalize on the breathtaking, enticing waterfront view of this ‘geological wonder’ and a unique feature in North America.

Kuldip Dhillon: Cirencester Park Polo Club will remain ‘one of the big three clubs’

Kuldip Dhillon, chairman of Cirencester Park Polo Club, moved from Cheshire in 1987, having played for the club initially, travelling south to a club he grew to love.

In recent years, Dhillon, whose son Satnam is a 6-goal player, has overseen important changes that needed to be made to a club which sits on a 3000-acre estate.

“Logistically, Cirencester has always been a more difficult venue because of the distance from London,” Dhillon says. “Not only from the point of view of players, who have to work in London, but also from sponsorship because the commercial centre of the UK is London and any sponsor who wants a day of polo generally would like to get their clients to the venue and back.
