Financial Analysis
Financial Analysis In 2016, Golf Canada recorded a surplus of $99,384 compared to a deficit of $915,495 recognized in 2015. This represents the first surplus since the 2013 fiscal year when $191,695 was recognized. Our staff, partners at the Provincial Golf Associations and nearly 2,500 volunteers from across Canada deserve thanks for their collaboration and valued contributions which resulted in a $1 million increase from last year. Despite headwinds from macro-economic factors and reorganizations of major industry corporations over the past few years for all Canadian golf industry stakeholders, we’re confident that the sport remains ripe with opportunity, excitement, and programming to develop the next generation of athletes. As the National Sport Federation (NSF) for golf in Canada, our mandate is to promote participation and excellence in the game, while ensuring there is capacity for the sport and interaction between all the stakeholders. 2016 was a year in which we made great strides in improving the long- term health of the Association and we look forward to continuing those efforts in the future as we recognize the importance of Golf Canada’s role as a leader in the industry. During the year, there were several positive financial highlights to be proud of: • An increase in total revenue by $1,789,785 (5%) over 2015; • Our core professional championships (RBC Canadian Open and CP Women’s Open) both recognized a surplus in Oakville, Ont. and Priddis, Alta. respectively; • RBC was extended for another six years through 2023 as title -

Because everyone was used to horse drawn (Ford Motor Company of Canada Archives) wagons, the new contraption became called “the horse- less carriage.” Part Three 1901 - 1950 he first gasoline-powered automobiles were invented by Americans Charles and Frank Duryea in 1893. They started Tmanufacturing at their Duryea Motor Wagon Company factory in Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1896, Frank Duryea traveled with the Barnum & Bailey Circus and drove his car around the ring. Henry Ford began to manufacture cars in Detroit, Michigan, in 1903, and others followed. The Ford Motor Company was worth $100,000 U.S. in 1903 and by 1927 had escalated to $700 million. The first Model T advertisement appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in 1908 with a price tag of $280. The mass production in the first decade by Henry Ford brought about a tremendous change in transportation. The day of the horse drawn wagons and carriages would become passe. The automobile was here to stay. The right to manufacture cars in Ontario was acquired in 1904 by 31 year old Gordon Morton McGregor, the president of the Walkerville Wagon Company in Walkerville (Windsor). McGregor, as founder and General Manager, incorporated a new company on August 17th called the Ford Motor Company of Canada, with a capi- Tom, Maud and Grandma Duck and the Family Car (Region of Peel Archives) 60 tal of $125,000. -
Canadian Golfer, November, 1928
CANADIAN | GOLFER HESITATION Hesitation is avery bad thing in golf. Let the player think as much as he likes before he comes to a con- clusion as to what he is going to try to do, and what club he is going to take for the purpose; but, having taken his club, it will be far better for the prospects of his shot if he dismisses the questions of any alternatives absolutely from his mind. Unless there is very good reason indeed for the change, a club should always be used for the shot it was taken out of the bag for, once the ball has been addressed with it. Changes at the last moment nearly always result in the golfer making his shot in a half-hearted sort of way, as if he werestill not satisfied that he was doing the right thing. A good shot seldom results, and it is always better to stick to the original club.

As cities face numerous growing challenges such as housing, public transit and the lack of public greenspaces, closing municipal golf courses has been touted as a possible solution. While municipal golf courses are open to the public, barriers to entry such as a dress code and green fees have left them inaccessible to many residents making them not truly public spaces.
