Byrne takes another swing at golf

After hanging out playing golf with Misfits a few years ago David Byrne was hit with a sudden realization. The Essex native was shooting low 60's with the Windsor group and thought, "hey, maybe I'm still good at this".


Byrne had posted a 62 at Beach Grove, 61 at Essex, 63 at Ambassador and Pointe West. "You can't really shoot those numbers and feel comfortable sitting at home".


The 33-year old wanted to find a way back into the game. He got his feet wet in 2019 playing some events, "and did ok". Last year during the pandemic PGA Tour Canada held four events and Byrne made all of the cuts and "got the competitive juices back.".


The former Big Break winner just finished an 8-week journey with PGA Tour Canada trying to create a second big break.


He started the trip single but got engaged along the way to his girlfriend Zoe Bennett. "It was nice to chase my dream again (may have found a new caddy also" said Byrne in a Facebook post.




During our time together Byrne told the story of how hanging out with celebrities he was fortunate to rub shoulders with while living in Los Angeles a few years back helped him appreciate the essence of the game.


Hear who those famous celebs are and what they unsuspectingly gave the impressionable golfer in this video brought to you by Unifor Local 444.
