During yesterday’s final, viewers heard Manitoba and Alberta curlers apologize for bad shots, freely admit their shortcomings and do everything they could to boost their teammates’ morale. That might explain why Terrell Owens never picked up a broom.

In fact, the only negative words all day came from analysts Mike Harris and Joan McCusker, who did an excellent job of pointing out where and why things had gone wrong. But they also had enough sense to close their mouths when the curlers started talking.

While golfers might have to rein themselves in verbally, open mikes would definitely benefit a sport in which most of the players come across as having the personality of oat bran. But even if they’re as dull as they seem, a bit of insight into what caddies and golfers talk about can only enhance the product.

And if Tiger Woods continues to run away with tournaments and viewers continue to stay away from the tournaments he avoids, the PGA might want to take a serious look at borrowing from curling.

“Hi, Jocelyne,” the winners of the 1984 and 1999 du Maurier Classics say as they walk to the 14th tee.

By the way, they’re LPGA Hall of Famers Juli Inkster and Karrie Webb.

Minutes later, a man in his 60s steps out of a group of spectators and hugs Bourassa, who then introduces Jack Kane, Lorie’s dad. Soon after, she chats with Lorie’s mom, Marilyn, and an aunt.

“There’s Sherri Steinhauer,” Bourassa says at another point. “She won in Winnipeg in 1992.”

That happens constantly as Bourassa takes a short tour of the back nine at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club during the CN Canadian Women’s Open.

For two decades, from 1980 through 2000 at the Royal Ottawa Golf Club, this was Bourassa’s tournament, her life. As tournament director for the LPGA Tour event known as the Peter Jackson Classic and du Maurier Classic, Bourassa had responsibility for everything you could possibly imagine.

Gallery ropes? Check. Signage on and off the course? That, too. Leaderboards and walking scorers? Ditto.

Bourassa still looks at those things, but they’re now somebody else’s responsibilities, so she can enjoy her walk in the park, what the event has become and, a little bit, the contentment that comes from being recognized again as the last Canadian to win an LPGA Tour event in her home country.

That was in 1973, when Bourassa outlasted Sandra Haynie and Judy Rankin in a three-hole playoff to win La Canadienne, a tournament at the old municipal course in Montreal.

It was 35 years ago, but Bourassa still has vivid memories.

There’s one about how spectators thought she had so brilliantly played a recovery shot through tree branches on the first playoff hole, when she actually wanted to go under the branches entirely.

There’s another about how Hall of Famer Betsy Rawls, a partner in regulation play, had reminded Bourassa to concentrate on maintaining a smooth takeaway and swing tempo, but the young Quebecer “could hardly draw the putter back” for the short tap-in that clinched the victory.

Bourassa is 61 now, and it has been three years since she last worked on family day activities for the Canadian Women’s Open, then sponsored by BMO, in Halifax. That consultant’s role represented her transition from tournament director to what she is today: coach and clinician, mentor to young female Canadian pros and part-time consultant to Golf Quebec, the governing body for amateur golf in that province, which is trying to develop a golf-in-schools program.

“They say, ‘You look younger,’” Bourassa says, “and I think, ‘Wow! Did that job stress me so much that I looked older?’”

Bourassa arrived in Ottawa on Thursday for the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Lisa Walters, and she stayed to take in the scene yesterday, making sure to watch young Quebec amateur champion Maude-Aimée Leblanc, perhaps the next Jocelyne Bourassa.

She also checked in with some of the volunteers who worked on the last LPGA Tour event at Ottawa Hunt, the 1994 du Maurier.

Back then, Bourassa, hired for the job by Imperial Tobacco after a one-semester stint as the golf coach at Arizona State University, used a tournament manual developed over time, based on a checklist for the Masters obtained from a consulting firm. Later, when BMO took over the sponsorship, they included family-day activities that could never be part of the event when it was backed by a tobacco company. Now, she expresses satisfaction with the addition of the charity-fundraising component of the tournament, which has a goal this year of raising more for CHEO than the $546,000 that was generated for the Stollery children’s hospital in Edmonton last year.

“They’re doing everything superbly,” she says.

Notice she says “they.” It’s somebody else’s job, somebody else’s life. It was, and remains, time for Jocelyne Bourassa to turn the page and do something else with her own life.

“You know what I miss? I miss the rapport between the players and the organizers,” she says. “They were so good. OK, we treated them well, but they gave so much in return.”

Bourassa has also spoken this week with Swedish star Annika Sorenstam, who has announced her intention to step away from the LPGA Tour at season’s end. (Sorenstam plans to get married in January and wants to start a family.)

They talked about 1994, when Bourassa was du Maurier Classic tournament director and Sorenstam was a non-exempt rookie who didn’t have a spot in the field of that LPGA Tour major championship. Bourassa couldn’t give her one because there were limits on the number of sponsor exemptions, and those that she did have were reserved for Canadians from the du Maurier Series of qualifying events.

Fortunately for Sorenstam and Bourassa, and unfortunately for several other LPGA members, there were enough withdrawals for the young Swede to get into the tournament. She tied for 22nd, earning $7,348 U.S. from the total purse of $800,000.

This year, 22nd place is worth $24,075 from a total of $2.25 million, and the winner receives $337,500.

Bourassa wholeheartedly endorses Sorenstam’s plan to withdraw from competition, start a family and sink herself deeper into business and charity activities, and on her own schedule. In Bourassa’s case, knee injuries forced her into retirement.

For the second year in a row, a player from Alberta’s largest city won the Pacific Coast Amateur Golf Championship on the same day another Calgary golfer came up just short in a bid to win the Canadian Junior Boys championship in Edmonton.

Last year in the Pacific Coast Amateur it was Michael Knight out of Earl Grey Golf Club, and Friday at a breezy Royal Colwood Golf Club, Jordan Irwin, who plays out of Redwood Meadows, shot an even-par 70 for a one-shot victory in the 42nd edition of one of North America’s most prestigious golf tournaments.

“Back-to-back Calgarians is certainly pretty special. It’s great for the city,” the 22-year-old Irwin said after tapping in for bogey on the par-4 18th, which left him one shot clear of third-round leader Ryan Hallisey of Granite Bay, Calif.

Irwin was one shot back of Hallisey going into the final round and found himself three shots back after nine holes Friday. A pair of birdies on the back nine, and some horrible luck for Hallisey on the 10th hole, left Irwin up by two heading to the 18th tee box.

“I finally got one to fall on a par-5 (No. 14) and birdied that hole, and then the huge 35-foot putt for birdie on 16th left me some comfort room for 18, which I needed.”

Irwin hit his second shot on the 448-yard 18th well short of the green and in the left-hand rough. His chip shot then ran off the back edge of the green.

“I hit that second shot really fat, but luckily I had some breathing room, so I wasn’t too worried,” added Irwin.

Disaster struck Hallisey on the par-4 10th hole when, after his tee shot landed under tree, he tapped a branch on his next shot and was handed a two-stroke penalty for contacting the tree, ending up with a double-bogey 6.

Irwin, who just finished up his college career at the University of Houston where he won five NCAA tournaments and is aiming for the Canadian Tour Q-school in the fall, recorded 14 pars and two birdies in the final round

Meanwhile, Calgary’s Jack Wesche took a two-shot lead into Friday’s final round of the Canadian Junior Boys championship at the Edmonton Petroleum Golf & Country Club, but a lost ball on the final hole ended his hopes for a title.

Wesche finished second, three shots back of champion Mitch Sutton of Ontario.

Wesche’s lead had grown to three shots after the first two holes Friday.

But Sutton fought back and took the lead heading to the final hole, where he made one of his rare mistakes, three-putting for bogey on No. 17, leaving Wesche only one shot behind.

It didn’t matter.

“I tried to play a draw and it didn’t turn over,” Wesche said of his ball which, despite about 30 people looking for it, never was found in the thick, lateral-hazard grass.

The search party found about a dozen balls, but not Wesche’s.

And that was the tournament.

Said Wesche: “If there is a good way to lose I guess that’s a good way to lose. I played well. I’m not too disappointed.

LPGA Tour winner has a burgeoning teaching business.

One of her clients is 16-year-old Christine Wong of Richmond, and when the two spend time together Wyatt can’t help but do a little reminiscing about her own days as a junior golfer.

Wyatt was good enough to win the 1984 B.C. Junior Girls Championship, so she obviously had considerable game as a teenager. But when the now 42-year-old watches Wong hit balls and sees the depth of talent on the junior golf scene in British Columbia today, Wyatt just shakes her head in amazement.

“Oh, my God,” she says. “The amount of players for one thing and the amount of really good players is amazing. It’s just staggering how good they are at such a young age.

“Christine is 16 and I think back to when I was 16, I had just maybe that season or at the end of the previous season, just broken 80 for the first time. You were really good if you were breaking 80 in those days. So it’s just unreal.”

Wong broke 80 a long, long time ago and shot a course record nine-under 64 at Kelowna Golf & Country Club during the recent B.C. Summer Games. Last summer, at age 15, she finished second at the Canadian Junior Girls Championship in London, Ont., and last month tied for third at the B.C. Junior Girls Championship in Courtenay.

That event was won by Langley junior sensation Sue Kim, who finished the 54-hole event with a 54-hole total of 12-under par.

On Friday, Wong tied for fourth at this year’s Canadian Junior tourney in Winnipeg, which was won in a playoff by SooBin Kim of Port Coquitlam.

Wong and Kim are just two examples of the increasing numbers of elite junior golfers being produced in B.C.

Kris Jonasson, executive director of the B.C. Golf Association, has no doubt that B.C. is developing many of Canada’s top junior players.

“I don’t think there is any question about it,” he says. “I have been here now for 12 years and I think we have won the Canadian Junior championship at least eight of the last 12 years. And our junior team wins it on almost an annual basis and that is both boys and girls. I don’t think there’s any doubt we have the best junior program in the whole country in terms of developing talent.”

One of the biggest differences between today’s juniors and those of Wyatt’s generation is the amount of tournament golf they get to play.

When she was a junior golfer, Wyatt didn’t tee it up in many tournaments. She played nearly every day most summers at Quilchena, but her tournament golf was limited mainly to the annual B.C. Junior Girls tourney and occasional club events.

“That’s the other thing that is so different is the amount of tournaments they have,” Wyatt says.

Some of today’s juniors are teeing it up in tournaments nearly every week during the summer. In addition to the various zone tournaments run by the B.C. Golf Association and events like the B.C. Junior, Juvenile and Bantam championships, juniors can also choose from events on two privately run tours, the Canadian Junior Golf Association and the Vancouver-based Maple Leaf Tour, as well as the American Junior Golf Association south of the border.

Longtime local pro Murray Poje started the Maple Leaf Tour 10 years ago when he recognized that many juniors weren’t getting the competition they needed to improve their games.

“The reason I got into this was 10 years ago there were 250 kids registered for the B.C. Junior who couldn’t get in because their handicap wasn’t low enough,” Poje says. “That’s when the light went on because they didn’t have many decent tournaments to play in.”

These days, junior golfers can fill their summers with tournament golf.

“So these kids are learning to get over their tournament fear way earlier,” Wyatt says. “That is what you are seeing now on the LPGA Tour — 19-year-olds are winning. They don’t know how hard it is anymore.”

In some respects, the junior girls’ golf scene in B.C. is a reflection of what is happening on the LPGA Tour. It is largely dominated by girls of Asian descent — many of them Korean.

They start playing young. At last month’s B.C. Women’s Amateur Championship in Williams Lake, for example, the field included 12-year-old Jisoo Keel of Coquitlam. She fired a one-under 72 in the final round to finish tied for 14th place.

Doug Roxburgh, the 13-time B.C. Amateur Championship winner who is now director of high performance programs with the Royal Canadian Golf Association, is impressed with the depth of junior golf talent in B.C. But Roxburgh and others also have concerns. Roxburgh thinks some juniors play too much tournament golf.

“We have to make sure they are working on skill development and having fun as well as competing and it’s not just parents saying ‘here’s where you are playing this weekend,’ that type of thing,” Roxburgh says. “There has to be a balance.”

Phil Jonas, a former PGA Tour and Canadian Tour regular, is now one of the Lower Mainland’s busiest instructors. His clientele is largely comprised of junior golfers.

“There are certain days, especially at McCleery, when I don’t teach any adults,” says Jonas.”A lot of these kids come with technically very good swings. And a lot of them play schedules almost like pro schedules. I bet you some of these kids, or their parents, spend more money than I did when I was playing on the Tour.”

The depth of talent on the junior boys’ side in B.C. is even more impressive than among the girls.

“We have some great young girls, but we just don’t have the numbers on the girls side,” Roxburgh says. “The number of girls in the game is a concern for everyone. There are just too many competing interests. On the girls side the quality is good, it’s just the quantity isn’t there.”

That’s not a problem on the boys’ side, where a full field of 156 players teed it up at Rivershore Golf Links in Kamloops at last month’s B.C. Junior Boys’ Championship. North Vancouver’s Eugene Wong, who won the 2007 Canadian Juvenile Championship, emerged the winner and then went on to win both the prestigious Callaway Junior Worlds in San Diego and the B.C. Amateur Championship at Marine Drive.

The goal for most of this province’s elite juniors is to earn a golf scholarship to a major U.S. university. Eugene Wong, 17, is off to the University of Oregon this fall on a full scholarship and that’s certainly what Christine Wong (no relation) hopes to do. Her top 20 finish at last month’s Junior Worlds likely caught the attention of some of the large number of college coaches who attend the event. Last week, Wong won the Junior Americas Cup competition in Calgary.

It is no mystery why Jack Nicklaus was voted Golfer of the Century. The “Golden Bear” arrived on the scene from Columbus Ohio. In 1962 at the height of Palmer’s popularity , and while Arnold Palmer accepted accolades , Nicklaus hoarded golfing hardware.

A telling denouncement for the golfing world occurred at the 1962 US Open, when Nicklaus defeated Palmer in a playoff at Oakmont (Pennsylvania) Country Club- dead in the heart of enemy golf country.

As the year rolled by Nicklaus routinely routed his adversaries and exhausted all the adjectives the golfing media could find.
