	Marlene Stewart Streit - World Golf Hall of Fame
		Streit made history as the first Canadian inducted to the WGHF, and it was a well deserved honour for a lady who has and continues to contribute so much to the game of golf in Canada.
		Fellow Hall of Famer, JoAnne Carner, opened Monday’s ceremonies by calling Streit “probably the greatest amateur -- male or female -- there is in the world.” Her introduction was greeted enthusiastically by small Canadian flags waving in the crowd of 1,000.
		Streit, who was attracted to the sport “because I liked the serenity and beauty of the game,” has now won major championships in six different decades.

		Streit may have taken advantage of her opportunities and talents better than anyone in Canadian golf history.
