Canadian Golf Talent

Tour player Adam Hadwin

Here's a very interesting article by Sympatico's Robert Thompson http://bit.ly/rbBOA4 entitled "Will Canada Ever Be a Golf Superpower?"

A few weeks ago my daughter played in our district high school golf finals at Saugeen Golf Club. She finished in the middle of the pack, but the winner of the girls' division shot 3 over. And, the girl that came second had a hole-in-one!

Some fabulous talent. I know, Saugeen is not Beth Page Black, but you can't fairly dismiss those scores. If I recall, the boys' division winner shot 2 or 3 under.

I'm always imagining that a "wave" will happen with Canadian golfers... eventually. The real test, of course, is how we stack-up internationally: then we can see what Great means!
