#1 A Golfer’s Dream Come True! Play the 2010 Canadian Open Course the Day After the Tournament

Minimum starting bid: $350.00; Retail value: Priceless, by invitation only
Come and Golf at the historic St. George's Golf and Country Club after the Canadian Open! This is a once and a lifetime opportunity for two. You will golf the championship course the Monday following the Open. The venerable Toronto club has previously hosted four Canadian Opens in its storied history, but none since 1968. Designed by Stanley Thompson and opened in 1929, the Royal York Golf Club was planned as a weekend retreat for clients of the Royal York Hotel. In 1946 it left the Royal York connection behind and was renamed St. George's Golf and Country Club. The club is consistently rated in the top three in Canada and the top 100 in the world, a fact which generates a great deal of pride among St. George's members. Donated by the Royal Canadian Golf Association.
