Stephen Ames may no longer reside in this country, but he still sees himself as 100 per cent 'Trini to the bone'.
Ames, the "best golfer in Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean"-as labelled by long-time friend and St Andrew's Golf Course manager Maria Nunes at the launch of the Stephen Ames Cup yesterday- Â said the only thing that changed is his country of residence.
"She's (my wife) Canadian, my kids are Canadian, and that's my home now," Ames told the Express yesterday at the Moka venue. "Plus it's easier with the commute rather than moving backward and forward all the time.
"But my heart is here, yes, definitely it is. I may [live] there, but this will always be home," he explained.
Ames is in T&T to support the Stephen Ames Cup, part of the Stephen Ames Foundation initiative to assist youngsters with an affinity for the sport, and aid the development of the game locally.
Yesterday, young T&T juniors lined up against their Canadian counterparts for the three-day tournament, which started yesterday with the better ball format.
Today, they will face off with 'alternate shot' play, and finally match play tomorrow. The team amassing the most points will be the 2008 Stephen Ames Cup winner.
The competition alternates between T&T and Canadian venues every year. Since its inception in 2005, Canada have won it twice, while the only other time T&T hosted, they were winners. They have a chance to win at home, and tie their number of wins.
During yesterday's opening ceremony, acting British High Commissioner Simon Wade praised Ames for his contributions to the sport in Canada and T&T.
"What we've been able to do is miniscule compared to what Stephen Ames has done for junior golf in T&T," Wade declared.
Every year, Ames teams up with Nike to provide golfing equipment for T&T juniors.
The First Citizens Sports Foundation also took the time to honour Ames, with Foundation chairman Hayden Newallo formally presenting the Sportsman of the Year award to the golfer. Ames was rather happy to receive it.
"It's great. Just the fact that they are acknowledging golf with sportsman of the year (award), and the T&T Golf Association have been named Association of the year, both the sport and organisation should be looked at, the fact that we've been doing so well " Ames said.
He was also proud of the local junior golfers' improvement in recent years.
"I think it's telling us that the direction we are moving in is the right one. I think overall, the golf in Trinidad is at its peak right now."

I agree. Ames is playing the game. As long as he gives back to T&T he good in my books. But he best be careful. When Ben Johnson won the gold medal in 100 meters dash in Seoul he was * Ben Johnson The Canadian sprinter * After he get ketch using steriods they startcalling him * Ben Johnson the Jamaican-born Sprinter * :devil:

Ames brings his knowledge and money back to help local kids in Trinidad and Tobago.
Some of our Football players who play in the UK don't do that.
It is a strategic reason why he claims Canadian Citizenship.

Yeah he's married to a Canadian citizen. To think that all this time i believed that Trini had the sweetest women.Why we like to lie so much? :devil:

Apparently. Ah guess if de opportunity ever present itself fuh meh tuh do anything on the world front, ah better doh make de mistake ah doing under ah Canadian flag. Steups
I doh understand how having Canadian citizenship and representing Canada make him a fraud. De man paying taxes in de country, he wife and children born an living here, what he must do. Cut heself in two?
-

the man is be down here hosting these youth clinics right through. He only took up this Canada thing after all the obstacles thrown in his path by these "first world" countries. That is a load of BS to make life more difficult for an athlete because he is not from a favoured nation. It was hindering his progress but he fight up with it for a long time until he took up the option of taking a Canadian passport because he was married to a Canadian...nothing out of the ordinary about that...it just so happen that make life a little easier logistically.
As far as I can tell...on tour he is an individual and they just say where u from. He has to show the Canadians some respect and credit to him for doing so...is a hard balance to find.
He deserve that award more than many others.
