Canadian Tour announces part of 2012 schedule
The Canadian Tour announced eight dates for the 2012 season on Tuesday. The Canadian part of the schedule will kick off with the 30th playing of the Times Colonist Island Savings Open. That will be followed by the ATB Financial Classic and the Syncrude Boreal Open. Those three events will all be contested in June. As the calendar turns to July, there are three more events, including the Canadian Open. The Canadian Tour Championship will b
2011 Canadian Tour Year In Review
It was a balanced year on the Canadian Tour with 11 players winning tournaments, and just one player winning twice. And not only did the tour have a solid season in and of itself, but a couple of its' alums were also making big news as the year wound to a close. We'll first take a look at two of the alums. Jim Rutledge, 52, fired a nine-under 62 in the second round at the Champions Tour Q School. He took the lead with that stellar rou
Smith birdies last for Desert Dunes title
Byron Smith birdied the 18th hole Sunday to pick up the win at the Desert Dunes Classic, the final event on the 2011 Canadian Tour schedule. Smith, the third-round leader, finished with a six-under 66 on Sunday to win the championship at 16-under 272. The margin of victory at Desert Dunes Golf Club was two, but this was very tight down the stretch. Kent Eger eagled the par-five 16th to match Smith in the lead at 15-under par. Both p
Smith grabs lead at Desert Dunes
Byron Smith shot a five-under 67 Saturday to take a one-shot lead after three rounds of the Canadian Tour's season-closing Desert Dunes Classic. Smith had an eagle, four birdies and a late bogey at Desert Dunes Golf Club to finish 54 holes at 10-under 206, one shot clear of Kent Eger. Eger would have entered Sunday tied for the lead had he not bogeyed the last. Still, Eger finished with his third straight three-under 69 and is fir
Eger leads suspended Desert Dunes Classic
Kent Eger posted his second consecutive three-under 69 on Friday to take the lead during the suspended second round of the Desert Dunes Classic. Eger finished 36 holes at six-under 138 and is one stroke clear at Desert Dunes Golf Club. Matt Richardson (71), Byron Smith (68), Matt Daniel (72) and first-round leader Stuart Anderson (75) share second place at minus-five. The second round was suspended due to darkn

Play the shot you’re given, not the one you want

First, understand that you’re not Tiger, Ernie, Vijay or Retief.  An honest appraisal of your situation and ability will help you decide the right shot and the club needed to play it.  Forget what everyone else is
doing; this is YOU.  If your buddy is hitting an 8-iron from 160 yards and you need a 6, then hit the 6-iron.  Ask yourself if you’d rather lower your score or stroke your ego.

If you answered the former, then put yourself in the best position.  You don’t need to hit an 8-iron just because everyone else is doing it.
