Silvertip Hole #17 -- 220yd Par3 Handicap 17
Silvertip:
(A random hole ... but it sure looks pretty)
Furber (the architect) got excellent schooling from his 14 years with Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and now he is regarded as one of Canada's best. Over the years he has been involved in the design of over 50 courses in Canada, many with unique and sensitive environmental challenges.
"Building the Silvertip Golf Course was a project close to my heart. The beauty and character of the site inspired a course as individually unique as the surrounding mountain peaks. Golf at Silvertip is an awesome, exhilarating experience; designed by Mother Nature and discovered by the architect," Furber said.

Grizzlies are considered by some experts to be the most aggressive bears, even by the standards of brown bears. Aggressive behavior in grizzly bears is favoured by numberous selection variables. Unlike the smaller black bears, adult grizzlies are too large to escape danger by climbing trees, so they respond to danger by standing their ground and warding off their attackers. Increased aggressiveness also assists female grizzlies in better ensuring the survival of their young to reproductive age. Mothers defending cubs are most prone to attacking, being responsible for 70% of grizzly-caused human fatalities.
