Calgary’s Wes Martin aiming to qualify for Shaw Charity Classic yyc
Activate your Online Access NowMartin has some pro golf experience — he competed for more than a decade on the old Canadian Tour and made three career starts on the biggest stage — but, nowadays, he earns his living as a pipefitter, not a pin-seeker.

I’m not going to use that as an excuse — I still think I can play — but it’s just whether it will be my day or not.It’s not unprecedented for a local to earn a spot in the Shaw Charity Classic, Calgary’s award-winning and record-setting stop on the PGA Tour Champions circuit.
Martin, who turned 50 in April, fired a 4-under 68 in Friday’s pre-qualifier at Valley Ridge. He’ll likely need to go even lower in Tuesday’s final entrance exam at Lynx Ridge.There was an error, please provide a valid email address.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
