Albert H. Murray:The Greatest Game Ever Played

Bet you don't know much about this pioneering Canadian professional golfer, Albert Murray, who became "The Youngest" pro golfer at 15 yeras old in 1902. He walked, played on and revamped the very ground where golf was first played on this continent. Step back in time and see my new website dedicated to this pioneer in professional golf with rare photos and stories.

Hey folks,

I'm currently working on a new section of Canadian Content which I hope will become the biggest online resource for Canadians looking for information about famous Canadians such as actors, actresses, inventers, political figures, international stars, and basically anybody who is or has been prominant on both the Canadian and World stages.

Examples would be:

Celine Dion
Tommy Douglas
Terry Fox
Shania Twain
Bryan Adams
Jim Carrey

etc.

I know many of you are proud Canadians, so what I'm asking is: If you have any interest in any piticular famous Canadians, would you mind writing 2 - 3 paragraphs or more about this person? You can even send in a photo of this person so that it may be featured along side the article.

You may email all submissions to me at webteam@canadiancontent.net

Please include your name (or writers' alias) and any other info you'd like to include in the peice.
