“It’s just been an amazing experience and we can’t thank Ryan French enough,” Patry added. For French, whose Drive Fore the Future foundation providing equipment and apparel for golf teams from underserved communities has recently cracked the half-million dollar mark, it’s encouraging stories like this that fuel his passion. “I hate where pro golf is right now, it’s pretty gross,” French said. “It’s kind of made me lean into these stories. There’s a lot of good people in golf, and 90% of pro golfers don’t live like what is portrayed to the public. I think it’s important to show that, especially with where the game has been the past three years.” As for the Ontario Boys, they might be young but they are wise enough to see the moral in their unlikely adventure that is set to make its way back to Canada sometime Wednesday afternoon. “Honestly, it’s just to be able to appreciate being able to do this stuff when we’re young,” Ljunberg said. “Just kind of spur of the moment, taking that chance. So, just take every opportunity you get, you’ll figure it out. We packed for one night, and we just had to stop in a Walmart to pick up underwear and socks.”
