This weekend the Staal brothers Eric, Marc, Jordan and Jared, are prominently associated with a sport other than hockey. PGA TOUR Canada, the Staal family and the Thunder Bay Golf Classic tournament have announced that the Staal Family Foundation has a three-year agreement to become the title sponsor of PGA TOUR Canada’s Thunder Bay Golf Classic. Henceforth known as the Staal Foundation Open.
The Staal Foundation Open is the sixth tournament on the newly expanded 2014 PGA TOUR Canada schedule. As an added bonus the top three players on the PGA TOUR Canada following the Staal Foundation Open will earn a spot in the RBC Canadian Open at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in L'Île-Bizard, Quebec.
The tournament, which is taking place from July 17 to July 20 at the Whitewater Golf Club, features the 18-hole, par-72 layout and beautiful natural scenery. PGA TOUR Canada is structured to identify the best players each year, with the top five players earning Web.com Tour status. Mike Weir, Graham Delaet and Steve Stricker all made their start on PGA TOUR Canada.
Maybe this inspires you to take up the sport or if you already play, to brush up on some technique. As always, the library has many books on this very topic.
