Mike Weir's home golf club is listed as Taboo Golf Club. This is
his Ontario home, not his Utah home.
That's an odd name for a golf club - I wonder how it got that name.
Searching the web, it looks like a nice place to play.

Has a lot to do with the amount of cash the owners threw at him.

Probably from the movie of the same name, although I preferred "Taboo
II."

Taboo is a French Canadian term.
It means candy ass.

If Mike Wier plays there once a year, I'd be surprised. It's simply an
endorsement deal.
The course is attached to the Muskoka Sands resort on Lake Muskoka. My
first and last visit there was the year they were opening the course. My
cousin has a cottage on the lake, so we went for a visit by boat to see
the course. Security shooed us away from the dock, wouldn't let us park
there. A bit too exclusive for me! There are plenty of great courses in
the area, Taboo is not on my list.
If you're in the area, Bigwin Island is a nice premium course. South
Muskoka and North Granite Ridge are good moderately priced clubs.
