MacKenzie Weegar\u0027s birdie putt was among the highlights of the Rogers Legends of Hockey Charity Skins Game at the Shaw Charity Classic.
“But it was all good. I’m happy I sunk it and I could tip my hat, do what the pros do.”The Rogers Legends of Hockey Charity Skins Game teed off immediately after Saturday’s final group had made the turn at Canyon Meadows, so Weegar and seven other skating stars were playing in the exact same conditions as the PGA Tour Champions trophy hopefuls.The pucksters raised a grand total of $250,000 for a variety of charities.
The other duos — Cassie Campbell-Pascall with Marie-Philip Poulin and Adam Lowry with Josh Morrissey — also earned skins. No team was shut out. “Obviously, it’s competitive and you want to win, but all the money is going to go to good charities,” Weegar said. “It was a lot of fun. I had a blast. The only thing I would ask for next year is maybe soften up the greens or cut down the rough or something like that to help me out a bit.”
While it’s understandable that the 29-year-old Weegar — a key piece on the Flames’ blue-line and being suggested by some as a could-be captain candidate — struggled with the long rough and lightning-fast greens, Vernon insisted that there was one excuse that wouldn’t fly.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.: There were five Hall-of-Famers strolling the fairways Saturday at Canyon Meadows.
