Month: July 2015

Australia’s Jason Day won the RBC Canadian Open last Sunday at Glen Abby golf course in Oakville, Ontario. And I was there …

I haven’t got pictures of Jason because on Friday when I arrived for the day, Jason had gone out all ready. It was a beautiful day and we hiked all around the course.

Bubba Watson (Gerry Lestor Watson) and married to Angie a Torontonian, was second. He’s got the longest drive in professional competition at 442 yards – WOW!  He didn’t do this today but he was second.

David Hearn, a Canadian, was third and he had lots of support through the tournament.  “The way that the Canadian crowds were, it was truly incredible. I’ve never experienced anything like that before. It was pretty special.”

Jason said, “I’ve never felt so much at home, and I’m not even from Canada. It was just amazing to play in front of the crowd that we had out there this week. Some of the nicest people you’ve ever met. It’s amazing.”

I’m outside! It’s a beautiful day – the birds are chirping and the traffic is moving along well on University/York and Front Street.

I’m sitting at the Second Cup and its summer out here. This week it will be hot and sunny. It started out to be a COLD July: I wore a sweater but the last 2 weeks it has been wonderful.

The sidewalk is filed up with people going home from work at such a fast pace; to the subway/Go transit. In my patio though, they settled down and buy coffee, the regular type and all kinds of iced coffee/tea. The patrons are sitting alone with their computers, or together reading newspapers. One is on the phone. He’s about 50 something sitting relaxed with his ice drink and chatting.

It’s a perfect day!
