10 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday July 30, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Seemed like a good idea at the time CELEBRATION CUT SHORT: After Chez Reavie won the RBC Canadian Open at the Glen Abbey Golf Club on Sunday, his trainer Jim Weathers thought a little champagne shower celebration was in order. Unfortunately, an officer on the course thought something else was going on and subdued Weathers in a headlock. The two exchanged heated words, but fortunately cooler heads prevailed between the officer and Weathers, a former Green Beret, who has trained PGA tour members since 2002. In the end, the pair shook hands and parted peacefully.
