CALGARY — Justin Kripps is a world-class bobsled pilot, but he has no illusions when it comes to assessing his abilities on the golf course. Spring, of Calgary, finished the season in 13th place in the two-man sled and 20th in the four-man event. “I’m a hack,” says Kripps, a two-time Olympian who placed fifth in the four-man race at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
