Yesterday the My Basket's Team were fortunate enough to enjoy Practice Day 2 of the RBC Canadian Open. We were met with pleasantly enthusiastic volunteers and and hundreds of organizers getting ready for the big opening day. Practise Days are a great way to get see some of your favourite pro golfers up close and personal. Following your favourite golf pros is a great way to watch for tips to improve your own game!
Oakdale Golf and Country Club
This year's RBC Canadian Open is being hosted at the Oakdale Golf and Country Club. This incredible, prestine golf course was designed by Stanley Thompson and Robbie Robinson and lies in a ideal central location in the Greater Toronto Area. It has been transformed for Canada's largest golfing event.

History of the RBC Canadian Open
This is the third oldest continuously running tournament on the PGA TOUR, after The Open Championship and the U.S. Open.
According to RBC Canadian Open Website:
"Only two players have been able to capture golf’s Triple Crown (consisting of winning all three National Open titles in the same season); they are Lee Trevino (1971) and Tiger Woods (2000).
As a national open, the event had a special status in the era before the professional tour system became dominant in golf.
The top three golfers on the Mackenzie Tour – PGA Tour Canada Order of Merit prior to the tournament are given entry into the Canadian Open."
RBC Canadian Open and PGA gives young Canadian players a chance if they can qualify with about 20 spots available for new players.
Our Highlights:
Our personal highlight for the day was sitting on the first tee and watching from about 2 meters away Ryan Moore hit jaw-dropping drives 300+ yards. The players are warming up in great form and we're excited for the start of the competition tomorrow. It was wonderful to survey the entire course and see what the players are up against this year!

Received my basket today. It was beyond my expectations. Just beautiful. We will be delivering it to our neighbours.
This basket was a hit with our friends who became first time parents! The bear as well as the clothes and blanket are adorable and a good mix of items for a newborn. The clothes inside are size 3-6 months, hopefully that helps anyone looking to gift this basket! Same day delivery was amazing too. Would definitely recommend!
