I have qualified for the NHC before and agree it was a spectacular experience......I was a tour member in 2008....I used to travel to play in tournaments...
I no longer do so. The schedule is unfair to Canadians.There are too many spots to the NHC for which Canadians cannot compete. The playing field is not level.
Just a cursory look at the 2009 schedule puts 36 spots unavailable for Canadian players. If we use the total number of entries from last year that's a little more than a 10% disadvantage. Qualifying is hard enough.
