Canadian Girls Rock, But Not in Golf…
As the Women’s Canadian Open gets underway in Edmonton (AB), Canada, some are asking where are the pro Canadian women on tour??
The article doesn’t really go into any depth on the issue (no surprise, where has investigative journalism gone??), with Dawn Coe-Jones dishing out the usual excuses.
As I wrote earlier in the year, when the British were asking the same question about their girls, the crux of the problem is the increased global competition and not the Canadian girls themselves.
You see the explosion of women’s golf in places like Korea and Sweden and of course the US and it’s easy for a country like England to get dwarfed. Lets not forget the impact of players like Se Ri Pak and Annika Sorenstam to their respective countries.
I know in Canada, competitive women’s golf is extremely lacking. We had Lorie Kane, but she was good for such a short time. You really need a great player that can really carry their country and show the little ones that they can be just like them.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. Wait, that was myself. Whatever, you get the point…
Women’s Canadian Open, Dawn Coe-Jones
