The 2008
Canadian Golf Teachers Cup was a great
success. For the first time ever the event
was played over two days at Crosswinds Golf
& Country Club in Burlington, Ontario.
Participants came from as far as British
Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, The United
States, and Eastern & Northern Ontario to
compete for the title of Canadian Golf
Teachers Champion.
Day one of the event was much like the
season in Ontario this summer. Cold and wet.
As a result the group experienced a
significant rain delay as the course became
unplayable. The rain delay allowed for
networking and camaraderie among the
approximately 75 Golf Teaching Professionals
who attended the event. Callaway & Jazz Golf
were also on hand to demo their products to
members of the Canadian Golf Teachers
Federation.
The ground keeping crew at Crosswinds Golf &
Country Club exceeded all expectations and
did a fantastic job of drying things up
quickly once the rain subsided which allowed
play to continue with most groups able to
complete the round before sunset. Despite
the poor weather and challenging conditions
the day ended with some impressive scores.
Leading at the end of Day 1 in the open
division was David Belling with a score of
72, and following not too far behind with a
score of 74 was Simon Camirand of
Victoriaville, Quebec. The 2006 2nd place
finisher Jeremy Dueck, was following very
quietly behind with a 75. In the senior
division Doug Young led the way with an
impressive score of 74.
After an evening of rain, the group was
pleased to see the sun come out on day 2
allowing the greens to dry out further for
the second round. With rounds being
completed in approximately 5 hours � David
Belling was unable to hold onto his lead
ending round two with a 76 for a total score
of 148, Jeremy Dueck pulled ahead to
complete round 2 with a remarkable 71 for a
total of 146.
