I have been thinking about this one for a while and have finally contacted Glen and caught up with him after all these years.
For those of you who don't remember Glen, he worked for me my first 6 years here at Carman Golf Club from 1994 until 1999. He was a young unskilled naive golf professional when he first started working with me. When he left 6 years later he had become a skilled and seasoned golf professional, yet oddly, he was still quite naive.
"Those were fun years", Glen recalls when I caught up with him recently. "I'm sure there are many great memories I have from those years, but unfortunately I just can't remember them."
With some gentle prodding, I was able to coax a couple of his favorite times back in Carman. "My first year here I was living with Rob Guthrie in the same house and I remember having fun with him and all his friends". Glen also added, "The Fair was also a fun time every year with some action always happening down at the old Ryall Hotel"
The last 2 years he was here, Glen rented the penthouse suite upstairs at the Carman Moter Hotel. "I was the most popular guy in Carman those two years as it seemed there was always a party in my basement every night." Glen also added that "I made a lot of great friends in Carman and would like to take this opportunity to say hello to all of them"
When Glen left Carman, he went to work at Tuxedo Golf Course in Winnipeg so he could be closer to his family and loved ones. He worked there for a few years teaching lots of lessons and making lots of new friends. His latest golf post is at Shooters Golf Course in Winnipeg where he is the Head Professional. He would love to see some of his old friends drop by for a game or just to say hi.
Glen's second career and first love has always been Horse Racing. Glen can usually be found on the third floor at Assiniboia Downs during race season and is always ready to give good advice. One night I almost broke even when I was taking his tips. His hard work has paid off at the Downs, as they now even pay him to dispense his advice. If you want to read about his advice, you can follow the link below and see what he has to say.

Glen also helps out with the Manitoba Moose in the winter as a stats guy for the Manitoba coaches. In fact, he has been voted Manitoba Moose Stats Guy of the Year 7 years in a row. They are thinking of retiring the trophy and letting him put it up on his wall, but Glen is too modest to let them do that. He knows that he must focus 100% every game or some other stats guy might win the award.
With all this on Glen's plate, you might think that he has no time for a love life. Well you would be right. Actually, Glen has devoted quite a bit of time over the years in an attempt to find Miss Right. Although unsuccessful up to now, we know that it isn't for lack of trying.
As Glen and I finished our conversation, he added a one final note " I know I broke many hearts during my years in Carman, but I want all those girls to know that they are much better off by not having me as a boyfriend. Their lives are all better off not having me in them."
