Follow the Tiger Glen Abbey G olf Club will be remembered for years as the site of `The Shot of 2000' -- Tiger Woods' 218-yard 6-iron from a fairway bunker on the 18th hole to set up the birdie that clinched the Bell Canadian Open and the Triple Crown. (Tiger's Triple included his victo ries in the 2000 U.S., British and Bell Canadian Opens.) Canada's No. 8 ranked golf course is open to anyone wishing to retrace Tiger's historic steps and challenge Jack Nicklaus' first solo design. Opened in 1976, Glen Abbey is held in high esteem by Tour players for its dif ficulty -- 7,112 yards, Slope 140 from the Black tees -- but it is surprisingly accommodating from the shorter tees. You can freewheel with the driver on its receptive fairways, but the greens are devilishly undulating and protected by steep bunkers. Nine-minute tee-time intervals help keep play moving along, and the mainte nance is immaculate. Glen Abbey is also home to The ClubLink Academy along with a spec tacular clubhouse facility including the Gallery Bistro & Grill and a variety of beautiful banquet, meeting and seminar rooms.
