This is an oversight. A very upsetting oversight.

Graham DeLaet will officially represent Team Canada when Olympic golf rolls around next month, but alarmingly, he’ll be doing so without a beard.

This is not good news. There’s a perpetual shortage of good beards on the PGA Tour, and DeLaet was one of the few players to buck that trend.

I mean come on, just look at this thing.

Bold.

Agile.

Lush.

And now he’s gone ended it. Shaved it off like he works in an office.

Look at the way he pretends not to care.

Shame.
