As recently mentioned in this blog here, the Dennis Kavelman’s Kavelman-Fonn Foundation, along with Peter McCarthy of Toronto’s Roundtable Capital Partners, “have committed significant funds, along with time and effort, to the betterment of amateur golf competitions across Canada.” The Research In Motion (RIM) executive also committed BlackBerrys to facilitate scoring and communication during events.
Here’s the Ontario Golf Article in its entirety.
As part of an enhancement plan for Canada's national amateur championships, the 2010 Canadian Men's Amateur will be co-hosted by two of Ontario's finest courses: the London Hunt and Country Club and Redtail Golf Course. The first two rounds of the 72-hole stroke-play event will be split between the two courses, allowing for an increase in the field size from the current 156 to 240 players, which will enable the RCGA to now invite the world's top 100 ranked amateurs, including U.S. college and U.S. Walker Cup players, to London, Ontario for the 2010 championship--and that's in addition to the traditional field of Canada's finest players, the bulk of whom qualify through their respective provincial amateur golf championships.
During the championship, competitors will receive first-class hospitality, including a players' banquet, courtesy hotel shuttles and complimentary food and beverage. All RCGA national championships will also feature live scoring, allowing fans from across Canada and the world to follow scoring in real time.
