The PGA Tour
The PGA Tour has it’s first full field event of the year this week in Hawaii and I was checking the scores today and noticed that there were no Canadians in the field. Obviously, Mike Weir and Stephen Ames have decided not to play but I am not sure if there are any other ones eligible. I am not overly concerned about this but I do believe that we should make every effort from the government on down to aid in making sure our athletes are prepared to play at a world class level.
We should look at our success in hockey, especially at the junior level and allow the other sports to emulate the processes and procedures in developing our talent. I know there is wonderful work being done in all sports but we have to keep at it, re-evaluating as we go so that we stay on the cutting edge of talent development. This would start at the school systems and like I said before I believe government support of sports development is a crucial part of the whole equation. It is good for our young kids, our people and our nation.
