Original Toronto Star caption: On the beach, Club pro Bobby Breen tests sand traps on final hole at Glen Abbey golf course near Oakville. And yes, that is a pond. a six-acre pond, on far side of green. It runs along left side of 18th fairway for last part of 517-yard hole. Course which will become permanent site of Canadian Open championship tournament was designed by Jack Nicklaus who turned flat, basically uninteresting piece of land, into rolling country. He considers it ?one of my best jobs.?
