AS we go to press the Canadian Open championship ts in progress at Mississauga Golf and Country Club in Port Credit Ontario just outside of Toronto. There will be the usual galaxy of super shot-making players in the field for Canada’s foremost golfing award, the Seagram Trophy, emblematic of the Cana- dian Opentitle. Harry Cooper, the all-time master medalist will be defending his second Canadian Open crown which he wonlast year at St. Andrews in Toronto and a great yolf- minded district will focus it’s intense attention upon asplendid tournament. Behindall this, however, there has been plenty of “par or better” effort to make the 1938 Canadian Open championship the best in history. An entire season of vigilance on the part of the Mississauga committee and members to keep their course poised for the greatest condition which it has ever seen; the study of tournament promotion and gallery handling which the Open Championship Committee headed by popular Frank Harris, Toronto member of the R.C.G.A., has completed; the generosity in time and effort which has been lent by John Arda Scythes, progressive Mississauga president; the months of patient labor and preparation of capable B, L. Anderson, secretary of the R.C.G.A.; the technical turf knowledge and workmanship which has been donated by Alan Bland and J. R. Wilson, noted agronomists and members of the home club—these to but mention a few of the contributors to the (continued on page 19) Mississauga’s progressive president—JOHN ARDA SCY THES—has turned his club over to make what will likely be one of the greatest Canadian Open championships in the history of the event.

  • The Final Rounds of the 1947 Open Championship Were Played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake
    The Final rounds of the 1947 Open Championship were played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake. Northern Ireland's Fred Daly became the first Irish winner of the Open Championship, one stroke ahead of runners-up Reg Horne and amateur Frank Stranahan. It was Daly's only major title. Henry Cotton and Laurie Ayton, Jnr shared the first round lead, but in the second round both fell back with rounds of 78 and 80, respectively. After 36 holes Daly owned a four-shot lead over Cotton. Daly had a poor third round, shooting 78 to fall into a tie for the lead with Cotton, Arthur Lees, and Norman Von Nida. There were a further nine players within three-strokes of the lead. Horne, who began two back, made the first move with a 35 on the front-nine. He took a pair of 5s at the 16th and 17th holes, however, and at the 18th his putt for a 3 lipped out. He finished with a 294 total. Daly began the round with a 38 on the front, but he recovered on the back and holed a birdie putt on the 18th to post 293. Cotton made the turn in 36 and needed a 35 on the back to tie Daly, but in the blustery wind this proved too difficult and he finished at 297. That left Stranahan as the last player on the course able to tie Daly. He reached the 17th needing to play the final two holes in 7, but a three-putt led to a 5 and saw him needing an improbable 2 on the last.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Brooklyn Journal of International Law by an authorized editor of BrooklynWorks. SECURITIES LITIGATION AND ENFORCEMENT: THE CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE Poonam Puri∗ INTRODUCTION Achieving the proper balance between public and private securities en- forcement is critical for promoting investor confidence and robust capital markets. There has been extensive research to determine whether public or private enforcement provides more effective market discipline and investor protection. These studies generally approach the question in terms of efficiency, accountability, ability to provide comprehensive market discipline, deterrence, and the best interests of the public. As a result, the traditional debate pits public and private enforcement against each other in an attempt to suggest that one offers an all-around superior approach.1 This Article suggests that public and private enforcement each serve important and complimentary roles in protecting the interests of the investing public. Thus, it cannot be said that one is necessarily more important or capable than the other, rather that they should be un- derstood as part of a unitary regime. Although a comparative approach is used, the primary focus of this ar- ticle is how recent legislative changes and market events have influenced the Canadian securities landscape.

  • Understanding Golf Course Landscapes in Canada, 1873-1945
    Behind the Greens: Understanding Golf Course Landscapes in Canada, 1873-1945 by Elizabeth Liane Jewett A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Elizabeth Liane Jewett, 2015 Abstract Behind the Greens: Understanding Golf Course Landscapes in Canada, 1873-1945 Elizabeth Liane Jewett Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2015 Between 1873 and 1945, the golf course emerged as a distinct landscape category in Canada. During this transformative period of golf development, the course, as a landscape, revealed particular human and human/non-human interactions. To explore these associations, the term ‘golfscape’ signals the course’s literal and ideological construction as simultaneously a playing field and manifestation of nature. Gendered sport identities existed within these golfscapes and reinforced class-based and racialized relationships as well as Anglo-Canadian and Canadian/American connections. Traditional British golfing canon collided with the cultural and environmental realities of Canada to create a unique social and physical space. An examination of private, public, and resort course locations across the country illustrates how clubs positioned and promoted their playing fields within an urbanizing and diversifying country. For example, golfscape game and aesthetic features prompted private and public interests to integrate golf into nature tourism within Canada’s national parks during this time. Clubs, however, were held to certain appearance and playability standards, whether in the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains or in the rural-urban fringe that fueled product experimentation and creation. Trends towards professionalism and expertise as well as recognition of the diversity of the country’s climates and geographies created room for golf architects and ii agricultural scientists to position themselves as authorities with the power to experiment and disseminate knowledge and practices to the wider culture.
