Nearly 14 years removed from his last visit, former Masters champ Mike Weir hasn’t forgotten his favourite Winnipeg moments.

“Lots of good (memories), my Canadian Tour days,” Weir said this week in advance of his trip here Sunday and Monday for the fourth annual Mike Weir Miracle Golf Drive For Kids. “I remember having too many beers with Davey McMillan, that’s one for sure.

“And I remember the golf courses being fun, Breezy Bend and Pine Ridge, that one with the crazy ninth hole.”

Not even a future major champion had every shot in Winnipeg turn out as planned. The last time he was here, he missed the cut at the 1996 Manitoba Open won by then-amateur Rob McMillan.

But the low point?

“Yeah, one bad memory, that I had a chance to win (the 1994 Open at Pine Ridge) and Scott Dunlap came from behind and nipped me and I made a few bogeys coming in,” Weir said. “I think I had a two-shot lead and I tried to drive that par-4 (the 13th) and I hit one in the trees right in front of the tee and made a double bogey.

“It was just such an immature, dumb move to try to do that at that stage of the tournament. I had the lead; I didn’t need to to that. It was a good learning experience from a dumb play. Not a fond memory, though.”

At Sunday night’s pre-game party and Monday’s action on St. Charles Country Club, Weir will help formulate some new memories.

Those figure to be nothing short of sensational, given that the Miracle Golf Drive For Kids has already generated $2 million for childrens’ health-care causes in Canada in just three years.

“There are so many great things about it,” Weir said about the previous events in London, Ont., Saskatoon and Halifax. “What I see from these children is that they have such great attitudes even despite the struggles they’re going through.

“They have incredible spirit and they’re just happy. That’s the thing that sticks with me when we do these events, visit the children’s hospitals.

“The parents? They’re so happy that I’m there and I’m more touched by the experience than they are for sure. That’s the wonderful thing about it.”

Weir showered praise on volunteers and organizers of his charity days.
“There are so many people with big hearts that give a lot of money and give a lot of time,” he said. “I have a lot of appreciation for the people that put on these events. I just show up and do the event but behind the scenes there is a lot of work that goes into them.”

On the PGA Tour for a 12th year, the member of the Order of Canada and the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame continues to search for a new consistency. He has eight career victories, but none since 2007.
And that search continues right through a milestone birthday. He turned 40 three weeks ago.

“No, not a big deal at all,” Weir laughed. “I don’t even think about it. My wife threw a surprise party, had some friends up, about 15 guys (for) a guys’ weekend. Other than that, it’s just kind of blown by and I didn’t even think about it.”

His birthday was cause for some pundits to write him off. Earlier this season, a major publication’s online roundtable proclaimed he was washed up and wouldn’t win again.

“I didn’t see that but I don’t take any offence,” Weir said. “I haven’t been playing that well so I’m sure people are going to say that. It’s just part of the deal, being a professional athlete; you live with the good and bad.”

This season, he has posted just one top-10 in 12 tournaments and slipped down to No. 62 in the world golf rankings.

But his 2008 and 2009 were hardly poor. In those two years, Weir had 14 top-10s and was sixth and 29th in the final FedEx Cup standings. He won more than US$5 million in that period.

“Yeah, I did do everything but win the last couple of years,” Weir said. “I was close a few times. They were two of my better years, but I just didn’t get a W. That’s always the end goal. They were good years but not great years because I didn’t get a win.

“I’m still working towards that again.”

A new format for the Canadian Amateur men’s event is among the highlights of this year’s Royal Canadian Golf Association championship schedule.

For the first time in the championship’s 106-year history, two courses will be used at the Canadian Amateur, allowing the field to be increased from 156 to 240 players.

The Amateur will be played at Redtail Golf Course and London Hunt and Country Club in London, Ont. The field will be cut to low 70 and ties after 36 holes, with the final two rounds played at London Hunt, which hosted the Amateur in 1930, ’38, and ’54.

“It’s important to have the best possible players competing in our national amateur championships and changing to the new 240-player, two-course format enables us to actively recruit top international, U.S. college and U.S. Walker Cup players in addition to Canada’s finest players,” said Brent McLaughlin, the RCGA’s director of rules, competitions and amateur status. “

“Our objective is to give these athletes a world-class competition with first-class hospitality. We plan to continue making enhancements in order to increase the international stature of our events and the overall player experience for those competing in our championships,” he added.

A phone call last year is giving Dennis Hendershott and Kara Kelly a chance to change Canada’s amateur golf landscape.

The call was from Stephen Bebis, Golf Town president and CEO, who wanted to know if Hendershott and Kelly, cofounders of the Great Lakes Golf Tour, wanted to help start a new program.

“We weren’t sure whether it was directly related to the Great Lakes Tour but obviously he wanted to talk to us about something and we were excited about it,” said Hendershott, recalling the meeting that took place almost a year ago.
“When we got in there, it was a conversation about what we do. He had heard good things about what we did.

“He wanted to start up a new program and he was giving us an opportunity to be part of that. He said if we could elaborate on his vision, he’d be interested in us helping him and then him supporting the Great Lakes Tour.

“Before we even got home, we had the concept for this new series.

“The next day we sent out an e-mail and he said, ‘Let’s do it’.”

And that series, which is set to launch on June 1 at Fire Rock Golf Club in London, is the Golf Town National Amateur Series presented by West- Jet RBC MasterCard in partnership with Callaway Golf.

It will be the first and only national tournament series for competitive men and women of any handicap.

The 18-event series will take place at courses in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

VANCOUVER — Tiger Woods, supremely gifted at controlling the arc of his golf ball, may have badly miscalculated his ability to do the same with the trajectory of his life. But he hasn’t given up trying.

What the world’s No. 1 player seeks — in announcing Tuesday that he will make his long-awaited return to golf at the Masters Tournament, April 8-11 — is a rigorously controlled environment. This may work out better than the one he tried to create with that scripted, oh-so-rehearsed, no-questions-taken televised apology last month, delivered in front of his mother, business associates and a small group of reporters (many reporters boycotted the staged event).

In the cloistered, rarefied atmosphere of the Augusta National Golf Club, he’ll have a nearly ideal combination of spectator gentility and a club administration that will brook no nonsense from the great unwashed. The British bookmaker William Hill waited a full nanosecond after the announcement to install him as a 4-1 favorite to win.

“The Masters is where I won my first major and I view this tournament with great respect,” Woods’ statement said. “After a long and necessary time away from the game, I feel like I’m ready to start my season at Augusta.

“The major championships have always been a special focus in my career and, as a professional, I think Augusta is where I need to be, even though it’s been a while since I last played.”

But coming back at the Masters, instead of two weeks earlier at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Invitational, is not about choosing an appropriate amount of time away to demonstrate his dedication to rescuing his marriage from the fallout of his serial cheating. It is not about TV ratings. It is not about fear of missing a chance to continue his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus’s record 18 major championships.

For perhaps the first time in his life, it is not even about winning, though it’s not to be dismissed that seven of his 14 major championship victories have come at Augusta (four Masters), Pebble Beach (the 2000 U.S. Open) and St. Andrews (British Opens in 2000 and 2005), all of which play host to majors this year. With Woods, it is and always has been about control.

He simply isn’t willing to come in close contact with an unruly public or a scandal-driven media in his first time out of the box since his late-November fall from grace. The green jackets’ stringent screening will help shield him.

Said Rocco Mediate, who lost the 2008 U.S. Open to Woods at Torrey Pines: “It’s the safest place. It’s the most controlled place.”

You don’t run at the Masters. You don’t carry a cellphone. You don’t chant. You don’t boo. You don’t heckle. You may yell “Get in the hole!” when a player hits a tee shot on a par-5, but stupidity is not an attribute that the green jackets of The National have figured out how to combat.

What they do know how to do, the old boys of the greatest old boys club in golf, is keep the riff-raff out. His choosing of their glorious annual rite of spring at which to unleash the first, most ravenous pack of media hounds may be about as welcome among the members as that deep blanket of snow that fell on the club a few weeks ago, but they are tickled he’s coming, all the same. Almost as tickled as CBS, which can expect off-the-charts ratings if Woods is still alive on the weekend, after ESPN carries the first two rounds.

Said Masters and Augusta National chairman Billy Payne: “We support Tiger’s decision to return to competitive golf beginning at this year’s Masters Tournament. Additionally, we support and encourage his stated commitment to continue the significant work required to rebuild his personal and professional life.”

Even Payne and his cronies may not be able to keep reporters from asking pointed questions — his predecessor Hootie Johnson couldn’t, when Martha Burk mounted her futile 2003 campaign to have corporate sponsors boycott the tournament until the club opened up to female members — but they do have the ultimate hammer. When it comes to anyone wishing access to the grounds, and that includes the press building, the unspoken rule is: be careful, or y’all might not be back next year.

Lest we forget, Jack Whitaker never made it back onto the CBS broadcast after referring to the fans as a “mob” in 1966. Gary McCord has never been back since he told viewers that the greens were so slick because “they don’t cut the greens here at Augusta — they use bikini wax.” That was 16 years and three club administrations ago.
Augusta is long on memory and short on forgiveness. So we’re not going to be seeing TMZ or the National Enquirer in the Masters’ press room.
When a wide-eyed C. Cole first applied for a press credential, in 1993, the head of the tournament’s press committee was the late Charlie Yates, who was Bobby Jones’s playing partner the last time the Augusta National (and Masters) co-founder ever swung a golf club. It was a requirement then, probably still is, that the first-time applicant had covered golf, and that he send along clippings of golf stories he had written. Also, if memory serves, a covering letter containing the signature of the paper’s editor-in-chief, along with the company seal, was mandatory.

It was like applying for a job, only the paycheque wasn’t in dollars, it was in goosebumps. They still come, like clockwork, every April, but last spring was oddly anticlimactic, with Woods rehabbing after knee surgery. Three weeks from now, golf’s fallen idol — feet of clay, and all — will make Augusta the centre of the sporting universe again. It will be, unequivocally, great to have him back.

It was so warm last weekend that Shooters Family Golf Centre had to cancel its snow-golf tournament.

Winnipeggers have been basking in the warm glow of way-above-normal temperatures for a couple of weeks now, hitting the driving range or going for Slurpees as shorts and sandals made their first appearance of the year. Winter doesn’t officially end until Sunday.

Shooters owner Guido Cerasani said he expected 125 people to have hit his driving range by the end of Tuesday and he’s considering opening up his golf course in 10 days or so.

“We were open until Dec. 1, so that’s three-and-a-half months between golf seasons. I drove the course today and there’s no snow on the greens and the grass is looking really green.”

As with all good things, the May-like temperatures are going to come to an end, at least temporarily. The mercury could still hit 10 C today under sunny skies and about 7 C on Thursday, but it’s back to the relative deep freeze on Friday with a forecast high of -5 C and a low of -11 C.

The weekend and early next week should see seasonal highs near zero.
The provincial government is warning Manitobans to stay off rivers and other bodies of water due to weak ice. Manitoba Conservation warns that all ice-fishing shelters should be off the Red River from Lockport to Selkirk.

CN announced today the selection of the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba Inc. as the official charity and beneficiary of the CN Miracle Match program that will accompany the 2010 CN Canadian Women’s Open. The golf championship will be held at Winnipeg’s St. Charles Country Club Aug. 23-29.

CN Miracle Match will rally the Winnipeg and Manitoba communities to make charitable donations to the Children’s Hospital Foundation. Each year since 2006, CN and the Royal Canadian Golf Association (RCGA) have generated funds to support a children’s hospital by matching donations made through initiatives associated with the CN Canadian Women’s Open. In the past four years, this program has raised more than $3.5 million for children’s hospitals.

Michael Cory, CN senior vice-president, Western Region, said: “CN has a major presence in Winnipeg, and we want to help build a safer, stronger community here. One of the best ways we can do that is raising funds to assist the Foundation’s mission to improve the health and safety of children. We’ll be out there in the community drumming up donations for the Foundation during the tournament and run-up to it. We hope total donations to the 2010 CN Miracle Match in Winnipeg will exceed $1 million, thus allowing our Miracle Match program to top that figure for the third straight year.”

Lesia Sianchuk, executive director of the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba, said: “We are so excited to have the CN Canadian Women’s Open in Winnipeg, and to build a strong partnership with the CN organization and their many Manitoban employees. It’s going to be an excellent opportunity for our Foundation and community to not only increase support for, but to also enhance child health care and research in Manitoba. ”

“Along with our partners at CN, we believe it is very important that the CN Canadian Women’s Open leave a lasting legacy in our local host communities,” said Scott Simmons, RCGA executive director and chief executive officer. “As a national charity program with a philanthropic mandate to raise money for children’s hospitals, CN Miracle Match is a terrific initiative that helps to raise charitable proceeds in the name of Canada’s National Women’s Open Championship.”

Imagine slicing your golf ball into the water and being able to immediately analyze what went wrong with your swing — and correct it — before you tee up again.

That’s the vision of Terry Hashimoto, one of the most successful golfers to come out of Manitoba, who has pioneered the development of a high-tech clip that fits onto the shaft of your clubs — from driver to putter — and captures the trajectory and acceleration of your swing, the flex of the shaft and the openness of the club face, and sends it to your smartphone.

The 10-gram clip contains three accelerometers and three miniature gyroscopes that capture 1,000 images of your swing per second. Using your fingers, you can get a 360-degree view of your drive, chip or putt on your wireless mere seconds later. Colour codes identify where the club head reaches its top speed, which can indicate flaws such as jerking the club back too quickly or trying to hit the ball farther than John Daly ever imagined.

“It’s not about the bad shots, you want to know what you did on your good shots,” Hashimoto said.

The idea, for which Hashimoto has applied for a patent, uses what he calls ICU technology in the lightweight clip and UCiT replay programming on a smartphone.

The technology, which also allows you to compare your most recent swing to previous ones stored on your phone and even to the swings of PGA Tour players, has been put into action by Gord Parke and Adam Tsouras, the chief technical officer and graphic designer of TGH Golf Designs, respectively. Their research has been sponsored by Memphis-based True Temper, the world’s leading manufacturer of golf club shafts.

In addition to helping golfers tweak (or overhaul) their games, Hashimoto said retailers will also be able to use the technology to determine what sorts of clubs are ideal for an individual golfer’s game.
Chad Hall, director of product marketing and global tour operations for True Temper, described it as a “very clever” technology and he’s anxiously awaiting a prototype from Hashimoto so the company can begin to estimate its full potential.

“There’s a high level of excitement on our part right now to drive it toward being a commercial product,” he said.

Hall said it would be “really valuable” in being able to give a shaft recommendation to golfers immediately after they had provided a swing demonstration.

“There’s also an opportunity to be able to walk up to a tour player and say, ‘let’s do this real quick.’ (The information they’d receive) would give them the confidence that they’re playing with the correct shaft or if we made a little tweak, they’d be even more fine-tuned than they are right now,” he said.

Hashimoto said he believes the technology could even be used during tournament play because it has no moving parts but that decision will ultimately be made by the sport’s governing bodies.

“It could definitely be used for TV broadcasts,” he said.

Hashimoto said the technology also has applications in other sports, such as baseball swings and tennis serves, and he’d also like to see it used in researching concussions by putting it in hockey and football helmets to measure the G-force at impact.

Hashimoto said he has been working on the concept on and off for the last 11 years but it’s only recently that wireless devices have been able to handle the amount of data produced.

If you thought golf had gone high-tech when the first Big Bertha driver hit the market, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

TGH Golf Designs has developed a technology that can capture a complete picture of your swing and send it to your smartphone seconds after you’re finished your follow-through. A lightweight clip attaches to your club and its three accelerometers measure the position of the club as you swing and three miniature gyroscopes measure the rotation rate of the club.

When the dust settles on 2009, there will be a lot of faces in new places compared to the 12 months ago and GNN, in its first calendar year, was there to cover these movements and the honors that were bestowed within the Canadian golf industry.

GNN will be slowing down for two weeks over the holidays as of this Friday, but if you have any downtime while taking a breather, it’s always fun to look back on our archives for a quick look at the year that was in 2009.

It was a year in which the number of Canadian players competing on the PGA and LPGA Tours doubled for 2010 and developing pros and amateurs made it known loud and clear that the number could grow even more in future years.

It was also a year in which familiar names changed positions and honours were handed out to recognize the contributions and achievements of people within the industry.

The greens will still be covered with white snow for another few weeks, but organizers of this summer’s CN Canadian Women’s Open are already busy planning for the tournament. It will take 1,400 volunteers to run the weeklong golf event, the only Canadian stop on the LPGA tour, taking place at Winnipeg’s St. Charles Country Club from Aug. 23 to 29.

Already, Winnipeggers have stepped up to help, with nearly 1,000 signed up to volunteer. Organizers are hoping to recruit the remaining volunteers well before summer arrives.

St. Charles Country Club general manager Cameron Gray said he is confident Winnipeggers will come through, as they have for many other national and international sporting events such as the Pan Am Games, the world junior hockey and women’s world hockey tournaments and the Brier, in addition to past golf tournaments that have been held at the St. Charles Country Club.

“I’ve experienced first-hand many of these sporting events that have taken place in Winnipeg. It’s a very, very broad cross-section of Winnipeggers who come out from all walks of life who have a multitude of interests,” said Gray, who personally helped out at the Pan Am Games and the Brier.

He said people chose to donate their time for a wide variety of reasons — they may have an interest in the specific sport taking place, in supporting the community or just being involved in events that are providing some cherished memories for the community.

“Whether it’s looking at a Pan Am uniform 10 year later or a Brier pass that you’ve got, it means a lot. I think that there is a lot of pride in participating and being involved in an event of this magnitude, seeing it come off successfully, the opportunity for the image of Winnipeg to be a major player within Canada and North America for these kinds of events,” said Gray.

He said events such as the CN Canadian Women’s Open rely heavily on the support of the volunteers, who help with everything from hospitality services to transportation, and from scoring to security.

“These events wouldn’t come off as they do if it wasn’t for Winnipeggers from every walk of life coming forward, giving up their own personal time, often taking a week’s vacation to be able to participate in these and be a part of it,” said Gray, pointing out golf events of this calibre stop in Winnipeg roughly once every 10 years.

“There’s a huge contribution on their part in the success of these events… . Their motivation is much higher than just watching golf, it’s a love for the game, to contribute to the event, to contribute to the city to make these things better.”
