4 DAYS IN APRIL: THE MIKE WEIR STORY
Ten years ago this April, Brights Grove, Ont.-native Mike
Weir reserved a spot on the Mount Rushmore of Canadian sports. Already the
benchmark for Canadian golf, Weir rolled into Augusta National under the radar
and left the hallowed grounds a national hero - becoming the first Canadian to
wear the Green Jacket.
For the first time ever, the man responsible for one of
the greatest chapters in Canadian sports history goes on the record to tell his
story. Told by Weir, his rivals, contemporaries and those in his inner circle,
4 DAYS IN APRIL: THE MIKE WEIR STORY relives Weir's dramatic journey to the
putt that clinched the coveted Green Jacket and changed his life forever.
4 DAYS IN APRIL: THE MIKE WEIR STORY includes on-camera
interviews with Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky, Gary Player, Nick Price, Sean
O'Hair, Justin Rose, Hunter Mahan, Lorie Kane, Fred Couples, and Trevor
Immelman.

I remember when Mike Weir won his Masters Golfing Championship, It brought a tear to my eye, just like the time I watched the movie Ole Yeller. Lost all respect for this Canadian boy when on national tv he belittled his caddy with foul language for all the world to see and hear In a childish behavioral tantrum. That man (caddy) did play his game for him and did not deserve that disrespectful treatment from Weir who obviously thought he above another human being. His fall from golfing grace, his problem.
