Joe Robinson, senior golf professional at Cabot Cape Breton, has now spent over 50 years in the golf industry … After last week’s T2 finish at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, Taylor Pendrith will tee off in Thursday’s opening round of the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C., at 12:27 p.m. local time. All of the tee times are here … At the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in Vancouver, Laurent Desmarchais, Christopher Vandette, and William Forgues became the ninth team from Québec to secure the inter-provincial title since the Willingdon Cup became an annual competition in 1927 … Tee times for this week’s Korn Ferry Tour stop, the Utah Championship, are here. Canadians David Hearn, Albin Choi and Ben Silverman are in the field … Stephen Ames comes into this week’s Shaw Charity Classic in Calgary with six top-10 finishes this season, including a second-place finish at the Senior PGA Championship … Dan Soley captured the 100th Central Alberta Amateur championship at Red Deer Golf and Country Club, which is also celebrating its 100th anniversary … This week’s GNN Poll asks readers how rounds in July compared to the same month a year ago where they work. As of this writing, 59 per cent said they were less than in 2021, 28 per cent said about the same and 13 per cent said they were better this year.
