Today is Tom Longboat Day in Canada. Thomas Charles Longboat, Iroquois name Cogwagee, was an Onondaga distance runner from the Six Nations Reserve near Brantford, Ontario. Longboat, born in 1887, would go on to become the most globally known Canadian athlete of the first half of the 20th century. His dominant victory at the Boston marathon in 1907, with a lead of 5 minutes over the 2nd place finisher, was reported and celebrated around the world. Marathon racing at the time holding global cache.

In February 1916 Longboat enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces running messages between military posts, earning the nickname the “Bulldog of Brittania”.

After a tumultuous adulthood back in Canada, Longboat would pass away in 1949 at 61 on the Six Nations Reserve of his birth.

June 4th in Canada is Tom Longboat day.

At 100 years old, WWII veteran Bernie Smoot still drives his convertible Ford Mustang to play golf five days a week, shoots in the low 80s and shares wisdom from 74 years in the game: “You live to play golf. But to reach my age, you play golf to live.”

To celebrate Bernie — who landed at Omaha Beach just months after graduating high school — his PGA Coach and friend Jeff Maynor organized a tournament in his honor at the University of Maryland Golf Course, where Bernie plays five days a week.

Maynor, the course’s PGA Director of Golf, has run a @PGAHOPE program there for Veterans since 2019, which Bernie loves to support. The tournament for Bernie was a chance for those Veterans to thank him and celebrate his love for the game.
