Canadian Open at Devil’s Pulpit in 2015
TED BITS, Ted McIntyre - CANADIAN OPEN AT DEVIL’S PULPIT IN 2015
The inside word is that Devil’s Pulpit will celebrate its 25th anniversary by hosting the RBC Canadian Open in 2015. The 2014 date, meanwhile, may be reserved for Hamilton Golf & Country Club, although George Pinches, the club’s GM and COO, tells the Hamilton Spectator that “the board believes that the earliest time we might be in a position to host would be 2015.”
That’s also a big date for the Hamilton club, since it would mark the 100th anniversary of its move to its current home in Ancaster. But my source tells me the Pulpit has the 2015 date all but nailed down.
The Pulpit’s sister course, Devil’s Paintbrush, doesn’t have the clubhouse facilities to host such an event, but it is an intriguing concept to think of players tackling both courses in each of the opening two rounds as well as weekend play.
