Canadian national open Golf

It may be a truism in golf that half the players on any given day of a PGA Tour event hate the way the course is set up - usually the half that aren't playing worth a damn.
But give Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club credit: this week at the RBC Canadian Open, you can't find anyone who likes the rough. In fact, if you conducted a mass interview of all those players who caught the Golf Canada national open Golf charter flight back to Vancouver from the Open Championship at Royal St. George's on Sunday night, this might be the average comment: "Define easier," Goydos said, sounding a lot like the substitute school teacher he once was. "Worrying about what Paul Goydos thinks of the rough is just silliness.

"I don't know if it should be a one-shot penalty for a guy who lands his tee shot in the fairway and two-bounces into the rough. It's one of those courses that every shot - tee shot, approach shot, first putt - if you don't hit a good shot, you're going to struggle to make par. Tommy (Two Gloves) Gainey hit just five fairways and shot 65. If I hit it in the rough on a par-4, I immediately start thinking par-5. If you miss it, then whatever.
The golf course, at 36 holes, is starting to identify the best players in the field. Richard Zokol knows all about that pressure having played the country’s national golf tournament 26 times. Weir once called the chance of a Canadian winning the Canadian Open the equivalent of “lightning in a bottle. Zokol agrees.
“It is tough to play well on that one week you need to play well. Weir is one of five regulars playing on the PGA Tour this year, all posting very mixed results. Others in the field include Canadian national open Golf Mid-Am champ Dave Bunker, a high school gym teacher when he’s not playing golf. Former amateur standouts Matt Hill, from Bright’s Grove, Ont., and B.C.’s Nick Taylor, both currently playing Canadian Tour, are also back this year.
Among those late qualifiers to the field are former Canadian national open Golf Amateur champion Darren Wallace, a native of Langley, B.C., who know plays on the Canadian Tour, along with veteran Brad Fritsch of Manotick, Ont. and Mitch Evanecz, a member of Canada’s men’s amateur national team from Red Deer, Alta.
Top amateur golfers Albin Choi of Toronto, and Eugene Wong of Vancouver, who missed the cut at last year’s Canadian national open Golf, are also teeing it up at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club this week, while Canadian PGA Club Pro champ, Brian Hutton of Burlington, Ont., rounds out the list of Canadians. Truthfully Canadian professional golf, at least on the PGA Tour level, seems to be in a state of transition.
