Vote Golf for Olympics 2016

The Canadian Olympic Committee has posted an interesting poll on their website asking: “What sport would you like to see added to the 2016 Olympic Games?”

The poll asks you to select between seven sports, including golf, that are presently not a part of the Olympic Games. Currently softball and baseball are leading the polls.

The poll is a great opportunity to show that the support for golf is strong nationwide.

We are asking our fellow golf enthusiasts to vote in support of golf and take the time to encourage friends and family to do the same.

Show your passion and love for the great game of golf by voting today!

The poll is on the right side of the Canadian Olympic Committee website: http://www.olympic.ca/en/
