Life Sized Chess in the Platzl 
You haven’t really lived unless you’ve played a game of life sized chess!  There are lots of interesting things to see and shops to peruse in the Platzl, but the life sized chess might be one of the best (plus you get to feel like you’re starring in Harry Potter).

Get off your computer, put down your phone and learn some Kimberley history this summer
Monday, 14 July 2014 by Cali Sammel

Kimberley, like many towns in British Columbia has a strong mining history; in fact Kimberley is named after the Kimberley mine in Kimberley, South Africa in 1896.  The mining claim to fame for Kimberley came from having a nearly 100 year reign for being home to the world’s largest lead-zinc mine (The Sullivan Mine) starting in 1917.

Sports, recreation and tourism have taken over as the main aspects to the City of Kimberley these days, however the history is alive and well at these fun historical activities and destinations to check out with the family in Kimberley this summer!

  1. Kimberley’s Underground Mining Railway

Learn about Kimberley’s mining history and the history of the famous Sullivan Mine through this interpretive tour taking you on a railway above ground and underground with gorgeous views and opportunity to see wildlife along the way!

  1. Kimberley Heritage Museum

The Kimberley Heritage Museum is located in the heart of the city in the downtown pedestrian area; stop by to learn through displays and photo archives!

3. Downtown Platzl and Cuckoo Clock

Formerly known as the Bavarian City of the Rockies, remains of the Bavarian style still remain as it was introduced in the 70’s to boost tourism.  While no longer using the Bavarian theme to promote the town, you can still visit the Largest Cuckoo Clock in the world in the downtown pedestrian area and even get a little yodel from Happy Hans if you have a coin to offer the clock.

4. Fort Steele

The nearby heritage town of Fort Steele is definitely something to check out if you have the time.  Fort Steele had its hay day in the 1800’s during the Gold Rush.  After the rush the towns popularity went quickly and steadily downhill, with a planned Highway running through the town even being abandoned for a more well-traveled route, in the 60’s the provincial government started preserving many buildings and attractions in towns as historical sites and it now has many tourists visiting to see this unique snippet of history.

So you’re going to try Trickle Creek Golf Resort? Well, these tips might be of interest to you.
Monday, 23 June 2014 by Cali Sammel

The right club off the right tee is KEY!  Plus here are some other tips and tricks on some specific holes at the course;

Hole 1
Hole1Remember, Hole #1 is one of Trickle Creek’s easier ones, don’t overthink it and make it harder than it needs to be!  Playing Hole 1 from the Blue Tees may entice you to use your driver, try a four or five iron to avoid bringing the creek into play and hopefully have your ball land about 100 yards from the green.  If you play from the Black Tees, try a Hybrid 3 for the same effect as the iron from the Blue Tee.  If you are an amateur player, play from the 150 yard marker, perhaps a bit longer and get a great view of the green.

Hole 1 (Shot from the Fairway 100 Yards in)Hole 1 - Shot from the Fairway 100Yards in
Yes, the creek is in front of the green but keep in mind you still have about 20 yards to play with, commit yourself to the shot and you should find success (unless you hit a worm burner).  Depending on the pin position, hit a low punch or a high dropper with your sand wedge.  Luckily, this is one of the easiest starting holes in golf to ease you into your game!

Hole 10
Hole10The trick to this hole, similar to picking up a hot guy/gal, is to not be intimidated by looks!  Just like at Hole 1, put away the driver for number 10 and get behind the simple hybrid or 5 iron to make it to the 150 or 100 yard marker.
Super Insiders TIP – Don’t let the gully eat up your game!  If you have trouble hitting the ball solid on the clubface, you might want to hit from the greens.

 

Hole 16Hole16
Arguable quite a favourite hole on the course albeit a very challenging one (in fact it’s impossible to make a Hole In One here), nevertheless worth a shot!  Having the hole positioned slightly up hill gives you a full visual of all the bunkers right in front of you, long hitters, you’ll be able to make it over the bunkers, for the shorter hitters start your ball at the 150 yard marker (depending on which Tee you play from).  This hole is where the correct club really comes into play, without the correct club for the size of the green and the elevation, the uphill second shot (to the green) will get you every time.

Hole 18
Hole18Similar to Hole 10, this hole can seem intimidating given the water behind the green, however it doesn’t come into play often unless the pin is positioned near the back of the green (which is rare).  Approach this one as a shot to the green (chances are you will come up short), and can continue on from there.  Because of the downhill position of this green try your pitching wedge if you are less than 130 yards out.

Hole 18 (Shot from the fairway 150 Yards in)Hole 18 - Shot from the fairway 150 Yards in
Didn’t quite make it to the green did you?  Well that’s okay, now you get a great view of the Clubhouse and the opportunity to give it another good full swing using a club down (if you normally use an 8 iron try a 9) and trust, you’ll feel closer to the green than you are – give it a good hit!
