Jan 10 Weir Sign
Last updated:
Not everyone in Mike Weir’s hometown thinks highly of the former Masters champion.
For the second time in two years, vandals damaged an expensive sign honoring him at Mike Weir Park in Bright’s Grove, Ontario. It had been called Huronview Park until he became the first Canadian to win the Masters.
This time, vandals used the decorative stones to smash several pieces of the sign and destroy a pair of lights used to illuminate it. A few weeks after the park was dedicated to Weir in 2004, vandals stole the sign by cutting off its posts.
”It just boggles my mind,” said Dave Beatty, who created the sign. “It’s unreal what they did. It took a lot of effort to smash it up. I don’t know what would possess somebody to be so stupid.”
