Geez, there's a 13-year-old from Canada in the next heat.
Reminds me of the 1974 Comm Games in Chch where a young Canadian won gold and cried into her teddy bear in the medal ceremony. Just googled: no luck. Will Google harder.
I think it might have been Patti Stenhouse?

Putting aside the question of whether golf should be at the Olympics (I think not), seeing it there highlights a rather bizarre sporting situation where the competitors have “on-field” support and input from a caddy/coach on every move they make.
Either make it a team of two (with both having to be from the same country) or make it an individual sport only with no caddies.
In cycling they remove the outside support of radios to advise tactics. Golf should take a similar move. -
