Canadian PGA Embraces Tech


The Canadian Professional Golfer's Asociation has embraced technology, or at least has started to. Starting today CPGA member Bryn Parry will be hosting a blog on the CPGA website entitled "Bryn Parry-The Year on Tour". The blog can be found at http://www.cpga.com/blog/index.aspx.

Bryn is a CPGA member who earned his Nationwide Tour membership status last fall after progressing through all three stages of the PGA Tour Qualifying School. The CPGA is very proud to have such a great player as Bryn as a member and hopefully this blog will allow CPGA members, both current and prospective, to get an idea of what life is like out on the touring curcuit of professional golf.

It can be a very challenging road, one which I shared with Bryn and many others for two years on the Canadian Tour. The blog will be a great use of technology to educate people about the Canadian PGA. The timing could not be better either. Bryn has just come off his best finish of the year at the Henrico County Open losing in a four-way playoff. Another participant in the playoff was Chris Baryla, another Canadian. Golf fans have long complained about the apparent lack of television coverage that Canadian players like Mike Weir recieve on the American golf telecasts. Maybe this is will be the way to follow our favourite Canadian Players, an alternative to conventional television.
