Tweets from the media opening of Cabot Links in Nova Scotia, Canada
There has been a lot of buzz about Canada's newest golf course, Cabot Links in Nova Scotia, which is being touted as the only true Canadian links and the "Canadian Bandon." Several lucky media members are playing the course today before it's official opening in July.
Golf Magazine editor Eamon Lynch is one of the lucky few testing Cabot Links today. He'll be tweeting from the course all day. Follow along below.

The blind 2nd shot at the par-5 13th.... View from over the hill to follow.

My favorite hole, the 9th, which doglegs left around MacIssac's Pond. Birdie yesterday, today.....

The Pastor talking about his admiration for Tiger and hoping his "interior life" comes together. Praying for his putting stroke too.

The green on the short par-4 8th.

What the Pastor's higher authority can't deliver, mine can. Playing through thanks to Marshall Joe.

The Biarritz green at the 7th, which is 247 yards from the tips. Into the wind.

The Marshall is off to move along the slow group. "Iron fist in a velvet glove," he says. I told him the glove isn't necessary.

Groups putting on the shared double green for 4 and 13. Pastor's game betraying signs of doubt and little conviction.

The 13th green, seen from the 4th fairway.

View from 4th tee with the offending foursome. Pastor refuses to smite them. Says he needs them in pew. #selfish
— Eamon Lynch (@eamonlynch) June 29, 2012
The worst thing about opening days: a foursome that's already a hole+ behind in the 4th fairway. I shall ask Pastor to smite them.

The second green, ending a 620-yard par-5.
— Eamon Lynch (@eamonlynch) June 29, 2012
The approach to the first. The pastor skipped the bunker. Blesses himself.

I'm paired up with the local pastor. This is someone's cruel joke. I hope he's hard of hearing. #MilitantAtheist #FoulLanguageUser

The opening tee shot @cabotlinks. Blind, beautiful, brawny.

Looking back down the 18th fairway toward Cabot's version of Ailsa Craig. A hell of a carry.

Every room at Cabot Links has a golf-related quote on the door. This nugget of truth adorns Room 1.
