A Golfer's Christmas Gift - Remembering Stan Leonard
(November 20/09)
"Leonard gave me my first informal lesson during a pro-am. Appropriately it was how to hook a ball. 'Aim well right of your intended target, hood (close) the face of your club and take it back slowly, low to the ground,' he instructed me. Viola, a hook onto the green.
Once familiar with my presence, Stan eventually warmed up to me when I finally stopped asking dumb questions. On his better days, he could be most charming."
Arv Olson
"Olson chronicled the golf scene in the Vancouver Sun for nearly 40 years and no one in the Canadian media knew Stan Leonard better than he did" .
Brad Zeimer, Vancouver Sun
