Richard Scott. Andrew Parr. Dustin Risdon. Brad Fritsch. Mike Mezei. All got through the first part of the PGA Tour’s grueling qualifying school, perhaps the last year that golfers from places like the Canadian Tour can play their way to the PGA Tour. I count 21 Canadians who got through to the next stage, where several ... read more »

Word has it that Mike Weir has jettisoned long-time swing coach Mike Wilson yet again. Weir, who has made a single cut this year after being injured for the second half of last year, has apparently sought out Butch Harmon to take a look at his swing, making a call to Harmon last week.

Three years ago, Sean Foley had a dream. Now it wasn’t some Martin Luther King dream. Nope. He told the Globe’s Lorne Rubenstein that he aspired to coaching Tiger Woods. I thought it a ridiculous thing to say. And I wasn’t the only one, though my blog on it comes up higher on Google than ... read more »

IMG’s Chris Armstrong, the Canadian player agent to the likes of Stephen Ames, Anthony Kim and Chris Baryla, has left the agency to start up Canadian operations for the Wasserman Group.

Interesting and very busy day at a warm RBC Canadian Open. First of all, in response to the blurb I wrote about a speed trap on Islington Ave. that pulled over a van with a player in it traveling to the range, turns out that player was Paul Azinger. And one driver told me Zinger ... read more »

… 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: ... read more »

“I got my first letter from a college when I was, um, 14 I think.” That’s the sort of thing that happens in the weird and wonderful world of Eugene Wong, perhaps Canada’s next golf star. On Friday I drove out to Rattlesnake Point, the less than memorable Clublink facility near Milton, to get a ... read more »
