Canadian Open starts tomorrow The Canadian Open begins tomorrow, September 1 r Glen Abbey in Oakville. has O 7 THE GREENS RE T y p T S Keeping with tradition the tournament has �v �1 lv moved to yet another time slot in its attempt to please the P.G.A. and attract big name by Carolanne Doig players. It used to be the site that was changed and each summer as the event travelled across Canada„ but since the establishment of Glen Abbey as a perma- nent site, the dates have changed constant- ly. Now the question is never "where is the Open?" but "when is the Open?" Well this year it will be played September 1 to 4 and many of the big names will be there, including defending champion Curtis Strange perpetual runner-up, Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman and Canadians Dave Barr and Dan Halldorsen. There will be a number of young Canadians' in the event. At the time of writing Seaforth golfer Ian Doig is somewhere out on the Trafalger course trying to gain a spot in the Open. Although it is billed as the Canadian Open most of the field will be American. A few spots are reserved for Canadians who have been granted permission to play because of past performances in other events. One con- troversial point in 1988 is the granting of an exemption to Jack Nicklaus Jr. who has done nothing to warrant the special treatment. The Canadian Open has always been the victim of controversy and criticism. However, it is our premier golf event, it is a showcase for Canada's golfers and it is real- ly "just down the road" by Canadian standards.
