The golfers may be among the youngest athletes from the various sports training in Langford’s burgeoning “Olympic Corridor,” but certainly not the least. They are talented enough to harbour the grandest of dreams.

Virtually all members of the Canadian men’s and women’s U-19 national golf teams list the NCAA as their immediate goal and the Olympics and respective PGA and LPGA tours as their long-term ambitions.
