Two-Fore of Kokanee: Cut through a secluded forest near the shores of Kootenay Lake, the Kokanee Springs Golf Resort offers one of the most peaceful golf experiences in the province . . . maybe the world. The only sounds? The chattering of the creeks and the swaying of pines (and your spirited "yeehaws!" when you get on that birdie binge). This summer, the resort -- which also features beautiful lodge-style accommodation, hot tubs, a relaxing dining room and excellent lesson programs -- is offering a "Two-Fore of Kokanee" package. Included are two nights accommodation, four rounds of golf including cart, unlimited use of the driving range, beach access, and a Kokanee surprise upon arrival. Hmm, what could it be?
