Let’s start with me, since it is really all about me anyway. My column for Sympatico on great golf coursesmaking for great golf, is now online, along with some videos shot at St. George’s last month.

… Nope, not Tom Watson, but Bubba Watson. And given his recent win, he’s a strong addition.
Golf Canada and RBC announced several new names that have entered the Canadian Open field. Jim Furyk, twice a winner in Canada, is probably the most notable, and would have a good shot at winning at St. George’s:
Furyk, currently ... read more »

Anyway, I wrote a column about Weir’s 2010 campaign for Sympatico, which will go live later today, and had some quotes left over. I find ... read more »

The RCGA announced its full field for the Canadian Open, and it is likely the best in five years — at least since Glen Abbey in 2004 when the Ryder Cup was held in Detroit soon afterwards.
Of note:
There are 13 Canadians in the field. Recent additions included Bryan DeCorso from the Nationwide Tour. No David ... read more »

It wasn’t that long ago that the CPGA Championship disappeared after merging with the Nationwide Tour and holding the event in Cambridge, Ont. at Whistlebear Golf Club. The reason? Hardly anyone paid any attention. So the event simply folded and the CPGA Championship has still not returned — despite a lot of talk about bringing ... read more »
