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!

Elegant White Bouquet In Vase
I recently ordered a sympathy basket and a flower arrangement for a family member who lost both parents within a month of each other. Both were absolutely beautiful and it brightened up her day. I was really pleased with your work and will use your services again.
Sent this as a thank you gift to a GF.....she absolutely loved it....."the selection is amazing and the board is so cute"!
I ordered this item form the UK to be delivered via UPS and all went extremely well. I will defiantly use this company again.
Excellent products, we always order from my baskets and are never disappointed. It’s a one stop shop for all our events. Flowers and baskets are exactly as shown in their online photos.
The company is consistently outstanding!!!. I wouldn't use any other company for gifts to clients or staff.
I love ordered from this company, the shipments is on time and the gifs are always of good quality. I would recommend them to anyone that would need to send someone as a gift of any other occasion.
The recipients loved it and it was delivered on the exact date we requested. Thanks!

The basket arrived at the location when I asked it to and the product itself was great quality and quantity for the amount it cost. Additional requests such as a stuffed toy, the balloon which was pre-filled, and a message all were added and were of good quality. I will order from them again in the future.
