On behalf of the Golf Journalist Association of Canada, we honour the recognition awarded to Robert Stanley Weir with his induction into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame.  Canada’s true pioneer in golf writing, we owe a tremendous amount to Mr. Weir for his commitment to golf writing in the early 20^th century.  Perhaps it was another Canadian Golf Hall of Fame member who said it best, when Lorne Rubenstein wrote in his support letter for Mr. Weir’s nomination, “Canadian golf writers stand on Weir’s shoulders and at his side, learning from him and enjoying his work.”
