The great lady of golf Jocelyne Bourassa dies | Local sport | Sports | The Nouvelliste

A woman of heart

The mayor of Shawinigan, Michel Angers, remembers the brother and sister who got involved in the city. “It was always funny to see her brother saying about her that he was Jocelyne’s brother and vice versa on the other side. I was lucky enough to meet them regularly in many activities, ”said Mr. Angers, who was even able to play golf with Ms. Bourassa.

“She was always smiling and kind. […] The fact that she is present here, in our community, is a woman who was very playful, but who remained modest, despite having reached the professional level. It is still not nothing! ”, To underline the first magistrate.

“As much her brother was an outstanding figure for the City of Shawinigan, Jocelyne, who was a golf pro, was also in her own way. […] As much as it was difficult for the loss of one, it is just as difficult for the loss of the other ”, testified Mr. Angers.

Ms. Bourassa had suffered from an illness for several years. Ms. Savoy-Morel was able to see her about three weeks ago, already in a critical situation. According to her, the golfer was no longer happy in this condition. “I can never thank her enough for her great generosity to me,” said her longtime sidekick emotionally.

The most beautiful memories will remain etched in her memory when she had known her since the age of 15. When she was a junior, Ms. Bourassa was an amateur and when she became an amateur herself, the golf legend was professional. We can say that she was following in the footsteps of her model.

“My fondest memories with Jocelyne come from the work we did together when she was semi-retired. To have had the opportunity to teach with her and to give clinics, to share our passion together, ”she said.
