Comments received by the committee have been extremely supportive, and the committee is looking at ways to refine the policy as well as broaden its use at a number of our qualifying events next season.

The Blue Golf online entry system continues to serve us well, and the improvements added to the system this year made information and organization that much easier to access. We trust that the players find it equally accessible and easy to use.

The GAO Public Player program continues to grow, and we expect to see refinements in that program over the winter. The format of the George S. Lyons tournament was revised this year, with teams playing at only two courses rather than the original four. This allowed for greater participation at the closing ceremony and dinner, and increased team camaraderie as now two players from each club were paired

And I think for of a wish - which I kept to myself - of being at Oakmont in 2007 the majority of individuals who get watching someone I knew quite well playing in the tournament. So to the PGA Tour for the first time you can imagine my excitement to get a call from Jon this past May it really is a totally new on the day of final qualifying for the US Open to let me know that experience. Whether it be dealing "we were going to Oakmont." with the crowds - the "zoo" at the 16th hole of Phoenix for example - Up until that point the season on the Nationwide Tour was going the fact that most of the courses Jon Mills is all smiles as he is awarded his reasonably well.

Just being there, considering about 8000 to 9000 enter the qualifying was a step in the The other big change that is obvious to me is that even though Jon right direction. Shooting 73 in round 1 on a course that many finished 4th on the Nationwide Tour in both 2005 and 2007 his game today is much different in terms of consistency in all facets and in terms of his management of what is going on out there. Again part of this is experience but I think it also reflects lots of practice, working with Coach Dave Woods and recognition that to get to the top takes a very serious commitment.

I am wondering how to get a fishing story into this and I don't see any obvious connection, other than a recent fishing trip reinforced the fact that Jon is very competitive, but also the fact that he should stick to golf. He didn't take it too well when his brother Jeff and I both pulled in Trophy Trout at the Yellow Creek Trout Club in Pennsylvania this past November and he was skunked.

So on to 2008 and we will see what happens.

Nick Weslock had one of the most outstanding amateur careers in Nick Weslock 1927 - 2007 the history of golf in Canada. His accomplishments are outstanding and include the following:

anadian golfing champion Ada Mackenzie once said: "Some 1944 - 1970 - Eight Ontario Amateur Golf titles people are old at forty, but others are not at eighty." Nick 1946 - 1969 - Seven Ontario Open titles CWeslock was the latter breed of individuals. One of Canada's 1947 - 1970 - Eleven times Canadian Open low amateur score titles all-time greatest amateur golfer's, Weslock was still beating the pros 1957 - 1966 - Four Canadian Amateur Golf titles well into his fifties and could still be found swinging a club well past 1968 - 1982 - Eleven Ontario Senior titles his eighth decade. In fact, his amateur record was so superb and his 1973 - 1982 - Four Canadian Senior titles stamina so formidable that the senior golfing community shuddered when he became eligible to compete in senior championships.

Using a set of borrowed golf clubs, Weslock won his first title at a Southern Ontario Amateur tournament in 1939 at the age of 21. Over the next three decades, he won eight Ontario and four Canadian amateur titles, and was eleven times the low amateur scorer at the Canadian Open. Weslock considered his greatest accomplishment to be his seven victories at the Ontario Open. As he told Golf Canada in 2000: "Being an amateur and beating all the top pros seven times was really something. It gave me a lot of satisfaction."

Weslock represented Canada numerous times on World Cup, America's Cup, and Commonwealth teams. He was a member of the Ontario Willingdon Cup team an incredible 25 times and received four invitations to participate in the U.S. Masters tournament.

Showing a keen interest in the intricacies of golfing technique, Weslock once said, "You can't play this game just on natural swing ability. You've got to think about it and put everything in place." He always carried a "little black book" in which to compile technical advice he received from the many great players he met on the course. Weslock eventually shared his treasure trove of tips with the world, publishing Your Golf Bag Pro: Nick Weslock's Little Black Book of Key Golf Secrets in 1985. He also filmed major tournaments in order to carefully analyze the swing patterns of the pros, collecting more than 7,000 feet of edited footage over the years.

In 1968, it appeared as though Weslock's career was over. A gall bladder ailment, which nearly took his life, as well as a serious hernia operation, cast a dark shadow on his athletic future. A physical conditioning program and a rigid diet, however, soon launched him back into competition, and, between 1969 and 1970, he won two Ontario Amateur titles, two Ontario Seniors titles, and one Ontario Open title. In this last tournament, he dazzled spectators with a final 22-foot putt to secure a one-stroke victory. As his pro victim Phil Giroux said, "I didn't know Superman was over here today."

Weslock proved his superhuman skills once more in 1973 when, just a few months after undergoing hip replacement surgery, he was back on the course swinging 12 under par. He continued to play well into his eighties, claiming eleven Ontario and four Canadian Senior titles. According to Weslock, it was his love for the sport that was the key to his success: "I'm convinced you have to have an affinity for the game. That's what made us winners, and that's why we'll never stop playing."

An engineer by profession, Weslock never left golf's amateur ranks, but despite having to balance both business and sporting careers, his accomplishments were plentiful and his competitive results outstanding. For his superb record on the course, he was inducted Nick Weslock remains one of Canada’s most decorated amateur golfers with into the Royal Canadian Golf Association Hall of Fame in 1972. eight Ontario Amateur Championships and four Canadian Amateur Championships
