Message From Greens Director

With the potential early opening of our club (weather permitting) all members are respectfully reminded that our course is closed for play until our Greens Director/Staff indicate an opening date for the season. This means that no one - except our Greens Staff - should be operating any equipment on the course. This includes e-bikes, regular bikes and power carts. We are looking forward to another wonderful season, so please help us make sure the course is in mint condition for our opening.

Thank you.

Some great news about our little club!

In recent newsletters we have discussed the desire to migrate to the Golf Canada handicap management system and have also outlined some of the benefits Canadian golfers receive with their GC membership. Another aspect of Golf Canada is their recognition and awards programs, particularly the National Facility Awards for Junior Golf.

We are excited to share the news that our Junior Programs have been selected by Golf Canada as one of two national finalists in the Junior Grassroots Program of the year in 2023. This is an annual National Facilities Award that is given to a golf club in Canada that demonstrates community grassroots programming aimed at developing skills and a love for the game (as well as having fun!) for girls and boys up to the age of 18.

As many of you know, our Junior Program was revamped in 2021 during the pandemic and has proved immensely popular with young golfers aged between 7 and 18. It consists of 8 afternoon sessions during the summer school vacation, organized by age group and golfing experience. Each group of young golfers starts with a 20-30-minute lesson and fun contests with our CPGA Golf Pro, Drew Calver. This is followed by on-course play for the remainder of the afternoon when our course is closed to allow our Juniors the opportunity to play at their own pace.

And new for the 2024 golf season is a junior program called “Little Putters”. This is a free program for girls and boys between the ages of 4 and 7. Equipment will be provided, as well as prizes and treats. As its name suggests, the focus will be on putting as young golfers may not yet have the strength to swing a club. Putting also allows very young golfers to achieve success and promotes life skills such as patience and good sportsmanship. More details on timing and registration for “Little Putters” will be made public in the Spring, so please stay tuned.

The "Little Putters" Program has been made possible by a generous donation and our thanks go to the Canadian National Energy Alliance and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories staff for their support in this year's Community Crowdfunding campaign.

The executive of Golf Canada will meet in mid February to announce their 2023 awards recipients and we truly hope that our club will take home gold. Regardless of the outcome, we can certainly all take pride in knowing that we are part of a little club that fosters junior involvement and supports programs created to help children succeed.
