Little miracles. Here’s My Happy Ending from the Kananaskis Country Golf Club you can hear at 9:40 this morning. -Cory Kimm

“DO WE HAVE A STORY!

First we want to introduce you to a Team member of ours! Emma Strong.

Emma is an amazing member of our Team/Family and works with us in our Snack Shacks! She comes to us from the UK and has NEVER played a round of golf before in her life!

A few days ago some of her team members asked her to come out and play golf with them. Undaunted by a challenge and wanting to spend time with her friends, she made her way to play MT. Lorette to play her first round of golf…EVER.

On hole #4, arguably one of our hardest par 3’s, Emma pulled up to the tee to play her first ever par 3 in her life. As a pure beginner she used the club she thought would hit it the furthest and pulled out driver from 99 yards on our forward tees.
The photos you see in this post tell you how well she did!! You can’t do better than get a hole in one on the first par three you have EVER played can you??

The odds for getting a hole in one according to insurance companies that insure tournaments is 12,500 to 1. What do you think the odds are of you getting a hole in one on the first ever hole in one you have ever played in your life??? ASTRONOMICAL!!!
Emma is so understated and quite honestly was having a tough time grasping how unlikely it is to do what she did as she is a new golfer! If you see her in the snack shacks please share with her how great this accomplishment was and commend her on how quickly she has picked up the game!!

She was super disappointed when she got to 6 (our next par three) and it took her more than 1 to finish the hole! (kidding)
Congrats Emma on being the newest member of the . Easily the best and most unusual hole in one we have ever had!

We love it and are all proud of you! Couldn’t happen to a nicer person!”

My Happy Ending for today, enjoy!! -Cory Kimm

"So remember when I posted here asking what to do about my neighbor who put up a security camera that pointed straight into our yard? Yeah… that spiraled fast. There were all kinds of suggestions (some of them wild), and honestly, I was ready to march over with a shovel and my loudest voice.
But you all gave me one piece of advice I couldn’t stop thinking about: "Ask him why."

So I did. And y’all… he didn’t even realize it was angled that way. He’d just gone through a divorce, was living alone, and wanted to feel “less boxed in, but still safe.” Then he pointed to a sketch on his patio and said, “I just want to make something beautiful.”

That stopped me cold.

Turns out he’s been wanting to redo the fence for months but didn’t have the time or skills to get it how he imagined. I told him kind of jokingly “Well, I work with wood and clay. Been building furniture and sculptures for years. I’ve got a shop on Tedooo app where I sell my handmade pieces.”

He looked at me and said, “Wait, seriously? Would you help?”
What followed was a weirdly amazing two-week whirlwind of building, sketching, sanding, arguing about stain shades, and laughing over pizza breaks. I told him I’d treat the fence like one of my commissions take full creative lead and I’d add it to my Tedooo app portfolio to help grow my shop. He agreed.

That photo? That’s the result.
What used to be a source of tension is now part of my story. And his.

He took the camera down before I even asked.
Sometimes people don’t mean harm they just need connection. And sometimes fences don’t have to divide. Sometimes they make pretty great bridges.
