Geocache Description:

The golf ball represents the exceptional golfing experience the community prides itself in. Gilbert the Golf Ball was created as a community mascot and Chamber of Commerce project.

The design was from an economic development contest. Gilbert is sporting a hockey stick and plaid golfing attire. The plaid used in the pants and tam is a Ross Tartan. The community was named after Gilbert Ross, one of its first residents.  The cost of the monument was $8,560 and was built by Ralph Berg of Cabri, Saskatchewan in 1997.  Gilbert the Golf Ball is 11 Feet (3.4 Metres) with a diameter of 6.25 Feet (1.9 Metres). He is made of Steel covered with fibreglass. The Gilbert Plains’ mascot, ‘Gilbert the Golf Ball’ can be found smiling along Hwy #5 near the Museum.
