It’s our National Open!
by JCR on 2024-06-05Hamilton Golf and Country Club - AncasterRating: 4 out of 5Great golf course, Golf Canada does a great job! RBC is a highly valued sponsor of the PGA Tour..... I hope. But to have it sandwiched between the PGA, 2 designated events beforehand, and with Jack’s designated event and the US Open immediately after, means many, if not most of the top players don’t come. Thank goodness for Rory, Shane and Tommy, and God bless Robert McIntyre for his performance and his totally genuine, emotional victory with his dad. Notwithstanding some great Canadian performances by Hughes and Conners, it otherwise could have been taken for a Korn Ferry event. RBC should be telling the Tour to do something about the scheduling, it’s a travesty that a national open with the history and prestige of the Canadian Open gets such short shrift.
I will make my annual complaint about the pricing, from start to finish an overpriced event, especially in food and beverage. 3 “combos” of a burger, small chips and a beer - $109!!! The cashier was totally embarrassed to tell me what the total was..... the one improvement was a far better system for moving people through the F&B service lines. But the prices are a total rip-off, full stop.
