Trois Rivieres - Dan Cox has golfed many courses in his life, something like 400 courses around the planet. The Canadian Amputee Golf Championship presented this week by Le Marthelinois really impressed this golfer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. It is without a doubt, the director Richard Saint-Germain, classes this course - part of Sainte-Marthe-du-Cap sector - in his top 20. Many compliments were extended to the staff of Le Marthelinois Course and the Organizing Committee yesterday, and again today, the last day of play. Cox noted he appreciated the effort the people made to understand his poorly spoken French.

Paul Hebert from Alberta had very good words for his fellow golfers. "All the people who are here today are over their pain, have healed and have rediscovered their love for life" he declared.

Obviously all the positive comments have delighted the President of the Organizing Committe, Daniel Lefebvre. "I'm very satisfied with the remarkable work my organizing committee has done. The players comments are very positive, they appreciated our reception, had a lot of fun and were very happy they came" he added.

The director of Le Marthelinois, Richard Saint-Germain, emphasized that hosting such a huge event is where a golf club acquires history.
