Weir answers tough ones, all to help kids

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Ethan Burnell knows that when you have a chance to speak with one of your idols, you ask lots of questions — no matter how uncomfortable they might be.

“How many tournaments have you won and how many tournaments have you lost?” was the question the eight-year-old posed to a speakerphone at St. Charles Country Club yesterday.

A shocked Mike Weir, the 2003 Masters champion, had little choice but to come clean.

“Well, I’ve won eight times and lost somewhere over 300,” Weir said with a laugh on the other end of the phone.

Burnell will have another chance to grill Canada’s most famous golfer when Weir arrives in Winnipeg for the Mike Weir Miracle Golf Drive for Kids at the St. Charles Country Club next summer.

The event is in support of the Children’s Hospital Foundation, the group that oversees funding for the Children’s Hospital and the Manitoba Institute of Child Health, which performs all the child-health research.

Andrew McPherson, chairman of the Children’s Hospital Foundation’s board of directors, said landing this event helps the foundation in two ways.

“It raises the awareness of the need in Manitoba and it also helps us internally with the research and equipment needs that just provide that extra level of care for children who go through Children’s Hospital,” he said.

McPherson said about 130,000 children come through the doors of the hospital each year. Having Weir attached to an event like this helps make those families a little more comfortable as they deal with an illness to a child.

“It will be such a huge boost for the things we can do next year,” he said. “It’s just outstanding that he’s chosen to come to Winnipeg.”

The event is scheduled for June 7, 2010. Included in the day will be the golf tournament, a golf clinic led by Weir and an opportunity for Weir to golf with your team for a few holes.

Mike Weir bringing Miracle Golf Drive to town

While he continues to chase titles and major championships, Mike Weir says he will not forget to shift gears to raising awareness and funds for children’s health issues.

Weir announced via conference call this morning that he’ll be staging a Mike Weir Miracle Drive for Kids event at St. Charles Country Club on June 7, all in support of the Childrens’ Hospital Foundation of Manitoba.

It’s the fourth Miracle Drive for Kids tournament since the endeavour began in 2007 with a goal of raising $10 million across Canada for children’s health care causes. Previously, Weir held events in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia and the first $2 million has been raised.

The 30th-ranked player in the world and eight-time PGA Tour winner will fit the 2010 event into next year’s schedule on the Monday right after the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, and about 10 days before the U.S. Open.

The day-long tournament will include golf at St. Charles with an opportunity for the 2003 Masters champion to play a few holes with different teams, a pro-am for juniors, a clinic given by Weir and a gala dinner open to the public.

It figures to be a big year for golf stars and children’s health-care charities in Winnipeg.

Later in the summer, the stars of the LPGA Tour will descend on St. Charles for the CN Canadian Women’s Open, and even that also raises large amounts of money for children’s hospitals.

    Stewart, Collings recognized by Golf Manitoba

    Garth Collings of Matlock capped a fantastic golf season after he was honoured with the Golf Manitoba Amateur Golfer of the Year award for the fifth time at the annual dinner and awards banquet held at the Elmhurst Golf & Country Club.

    Collings, now a 15-time nominee, won the Manitoba amateur for the third time, had a runner-up finish in the mid-amateur, won the mid-masters category (40-and-over) and was a member of two provincial teams (Willingdon Cup and mid-amateur).

    He also finished tied for 10th at the Canadian mid-amateur and was fifth at the national mid-masters.

    Collings also won the Grey Owl Championship for a record eighth victory.

    He is currently ranked 21st on the RCGA Order of Merit.

    The other finalists for this prestigious award were Tyler Mancini of Pine Ridge and Ryan Pitzel of Rossmere.

    Meanwhile, Lindsay Stewart of Selkirk was one of six players to earn honourable mentions for their strong 2009 golf campaigns.

    She was joined by Tammy Gibson (St. Boniface), Jill Hardy (Golf Manitoba Public Player Club), Don Jackson (Portage), Scott Markham (Niakwa) and Jesse Skelton (Breezy Bend).

    Stewart had a great season, winning the provincial junior women’s title while placing seventh at the women’s amateur.

    She also was the low female Manitoban at the Canada Games and had two top-five finishes with the University of Manitoba Bison women’s golf team.

    Gobin gets Joyce Collier Award

    Collier Award is given to junior player at the Portage Golf Club. There were a couple of criteria noted including good sportsmanship, improved handicap, good etiquette, regular participation in junior events at the club, as well as a good attitude.

    Luckily the ‘09 award was taken by Brodie Gobin, former and current junior golfers at the Portage Golf Club. He was chosen after a great 2009 competitive season that saw him place well in a handful of Golf Manitoba events.

    Gobin said the highlight of his summer was a fourth-place finish at the Manitoba Blue Cross Men’s Rural Amateur Championship, held at the Minnedosa Country Club in August.

    The youngster fired rounds of 75 and 74 in the two-day event to finish at five-over-par, just three shots back of winner Rob Hall from Shilo.

    Gobin also put together an impressive finish at the Manitoba Blue Cross Junior Men’s Rural Championship. Carding an 83 and a 79 at the South Interlake Golf and Country Club, Gobin placed in a tie for eighth among the competitive field.

    He was also the 2009 Portage Golf Club junior champion, finishing the 36-hole event at 10-over.

    One tournament that he’ll be looking for a better result at in 2010 will be at the Manitoba Men’s Junior Championship, as Gobin wasn’t so satisfied with a 35th place finish at this year’s event at the Rossmere Country Club.

    Golf Gets Grumpy About HST

    The name of the Canadian Golf and Country Club in Ashton, Ont., near the nation’s capital, conjures up images of red maple leaves, Mounties and all things Canadian, including a feisty spirit against what it sees as brutal tax grab when Ontario introduces the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) next year.

    You just have to admire a scrapper that keeps swinging until the final bell against a heavily-favoured opponent, so the Canadian club is taking the fight to Premier Dalton McGuinty and his government over the HST.

    Check out the club website at www.canadiangolfclub.com/hstpetition.aro and you’ll find five letters that visitors can quickly send off to the Ontario government in protest of the HST. The site also encourages visitors to send their own letters if they don’t like the ones provided.

    General manager Mark Seabrook, who we will chat with in tomorrow’s blog, says he originally got the idea from Innerkip Highlands, near Kitchener, Ont. That petition can be found at www.innerkiphighlands.com/hst/.

    The HST blends the GST with the PST and now covers a wider range of products and services that previously did not charge the provincial tax. Its implementation has several businesses, including golf, up in arms.

    The HST has become a national concern with it already implemented in eastern provinces and protests already taking place in British Columbia, where it is supposed to come into effect next year, along with Ontario. Rumour has it that Manitoba is next on the agenda to be hit with the tax.

    The main problem that the golf industry seems to have with the blended tax is its timing. Affordability is always an issue among consumers, but the tax hits just as Canadians are coming out of a recession and they will now have to add the provincial tax to a wider variety of purchases, including golf.

    The other effect on golf that should be considered is how the HST will affect tourism, particularly from the United States where the recession has hit much harder and for a longer period of time than Canada, so will the blended tax slow down the traffic across the border from down south?

    The protests in response to the HST have been sporadic so far, but there seems to be a growing resistance as time goes on.

    The question to ask yourself, as somebody who runs a golf business or works at one, is what will the reaction be when golfers find out that they’re suddenly paying an extra seven or eight per cent, depending on where you work?

    Moon strikes golf gold in Elm Creek

    Portage Collegiate Institute barely had a girls’ team assembled in time for last week’s Zone 4 Golf championship, but ended up bringing home the banner anyhow.

    Led by Alyssa Moon’s 87, the PCI contingent fired a 311 team-total for a 20-shot victory in Friday’s zone tournament at the Scotswood Links in Elm Creek.

    “All of the girls played really well,” said team coach Al Patterson, who noted that Moon’s round was the best of all individuals at the event. “I don’t think there was another girl there who was under 100 besides Alyssa.”

    Returning player and last-minute addition Alex Gilbert carded a 113, while Grade 12 student Kelly Gretsinger fired a 111 to round out the squad’s total.

    Patterson was scrambling to add another student to the girls’ team in the middle of last week in order to reach the four-player minimum for the tournament, and was able to recruit Gilbert.

    “I think Alex was very happy she came,” said Patterson. “She played with us last year when we won it as well, and now we’ve repeated again this year.”

    Team rookie Jaclynne Green’s 118 did not count towards the team score, but the Grade 9 student will accompany the team to Friday’s Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association Provincial High School Golf Championship at the Minnedosa Golf Course.

    It’s All In The Family at Players Cup

    Former Canadian Amateur champion Rob McMillan will become executive chairman of the Canadian Tour’s Players Cup in Winnipeg, while his wife Nicole McMillan moves in as the event’s executive director as of October 1.

    Nicole and Rob McMillan

    Nicole McMillan has been involved with event management for 12 years, while Rob won the 1996 Canadian Amateur in Winnipeg, the same year he won the tour’s Manitoba Open as an amateur. He won two other tour titles and played on the Nationwide Tour in 2001 and 2003.

    “This is an opportunity that Nicole and I really wanted. Nicole is an excellent event manager and I look forward to working with all of the sponsors. It is a good marriage in more ways than one,” said Rob McMillan, a past member of the tour’s board of directors.

    The Players Cup is the only Canadian Tour event that offers an exemption into the RBC Canadian Open, as well as a $200,000 purse.

    “Manitoba has a long history of hosting major sporting events and this is an event that has always been well managed,” said Canadian Tour commissioner Richard Janes.

    “Rob and Nicole share a vision and have the passion to make The Players Cup one of the most significant golf tournaments in Canada,” he added.

    The moves came with Mitch Zalnasky stepping down as tournament director.

    New fund to boost young golfers

    Should help up-and-coming talent cope with costs of participation

    Aspiring professional golfers have skills and abilities galore on the course.

    Figuring out the financial minefield that is often the pursuit of their careers, well that’s another thing altogether.

    It’s the perfect dilemma for one of Winnipeg’s biggest hearts and determined optimists, George Sigurdson, who has helped establish the Elite Professional Golf Fund of Manitoba Inc.

    The fund’s purpose is to assist Manitoba’s up-and-coming professionals with some of their expenses.

    “Everybody’s got a little different story,” Sigurdson said this week. “At the start, there are often lots of supporters. After a couple of years go by, it wanes.

    “I’ve been thinking about this for three or four years — let’s set up a non-profit fund to help some of these kids cover their basic expenses like entry fees or some travel so that when they get to a tournament, they can at least not start out feeling like they’re in the hole.”

    What the fund is not is a full-blown sponsorship proposition, nor is it a charitable organization that can hand out tax receipts.

    It is, however, a legitimate registered company with a board made up of chartered accountant Ken Houssin of Deloitte Touche, Gord Kostick, owner of River Park Flooring, Nike Canada’s Rob McMillan, a former tour player, and Sigurdson, president of Sigurdson Financial.

    With the generous assistance of lawyer Stuart Blake, the fund is established and already considering applications to help players.

    “Our goal is to have a fund that’s bigger than any one of the golfers,” Sigurdson said. “We want to support young players from Manitoba trying out for one of the tours, Canadian, Nationwide or wherever.

    “These young players will send us an application for funds — entry fees, some travel, what have you — and the board will review each request.”

    Sigurdson said that funds granted will be considered something of an advance, that the players would simply agree to send 20 per cent of their winnings back to the fund in the future, only up to the amount they received in the first place.

    With qualifying school entry fees on the exorbitant side — more than $2,200 to try the Canadian Tour, more than $5,000 for the PGA Tour school — it seems like a worthy venture for some assistance.

    “I think many Manitoba golfers would like to be part of such a journey,” Sigurdson said. “I’ve already had two or three companies make a contribution, like bang, because I think everybody has a soft spot in their heart for these young players trying to make it.

    “This could make a difference for these players, who don’t want to feel like they’re always begging for some help.

    “My lofty goal here is to try to find 1,000 golfers here who will contribute $100 so we can get this fund to $100,000.”

    For more information, or to leave a message for Sigurdson, contact Penny Johanson at 953-1760.

    Two rescheduled events in Mexico are on the docket later this month and that will bring the Canadian Tour’s 2009 schedule to a close.

    On the money list, Players Cup champ Graham DeLaet is comfortably first at $94,579 and the Manitoba contingent is fairly safe when it comes to 2010 cards.

    Dauphin’s Ryan Horn is No. 28 at $19,687, Winnipeg’s Matt Johnston is No. 50 at $12,536 and Winnipeg’s Adam Speirs, though No. 100, has a winner’s exemption that’s still in effect.

    The top 80 players retain cards for next year, meaning only Vermillion Bay’s Jordan Krantz, the two-time former Manitoba Amateur champ, needs to move forward from No. 113 at $4,048.

    Golf Channel has come up with what sounds like another winner.

    Its second season of the Haney Project will have renowned teacher Hank Haney trying to fix the game of comedian Ray Romano.

    Given first student Charles Barkley’s appalling golf instincts, Haney ought to be able to help Romano in his sleep, whether or not Romano’s claimed handicap of 13 is legitimate.

    Having had the non-pleasure of once being on a golf course behind Romano, we’re praying that some of Haney’s instruction will make Romano a faster player. Eighteen holes of golf should not take longer than a full season of Everybody Loves Raymond reruns.
