		<description><![CDATA[A couple of months ago my former editor at T&#38;L Golf (RIP) asked me about participating in a new world Top 100 panel for course rankings. I was delighted &#8212; I&#8217;ve never been part of a world panel, though I&#8217;ve participated in Ontario and Canadian ones, as well as Golf Digest&#8217;s panel.

		<description><![CDATA[My story on RBC&#8217;s involvement in golf appeared this week in Golf World this week, discussing how important 2012 is to the bank. The bank&#8217;s deals all end in 2012, though the Canadian Open and Heritage are both signed to go through to 2017. To my mind, the story is interesting because of the decisions [...]]]></description>

Though I found it easier to get around than I&#8217;d been led to believe &#8212; the building is massive, but somehow manageable &#8212; I still found myself running from one spot to another to make appointments. And far too often there was someone [...]]]></description>

It wasn&#8217;t clear what the circumstances surrounding his departure are &#8212; and a ClubLink spokesman would only confirm that after 16 years Lorimer is gone. The spokesman says Lorimer is being [...]]]></description>
