    The day began with the opening ceremony in the Musqueam Centre gymnasium. Young girls dressed in traditional Musqueam clothing entered the room singing hymns passed down from their elders. 

    The display reminded those in attendance of the importance of National Aboriginal Day, and what it means to Musqueam Nation. As the opening ceremony concluded, the block party ensued. Music, and barbecue filled the surrounding area with the sounds and smells of a block party celebration.

    By Brad Ziemer, British Columbia Golf

    KELOWNA -- Holly Horwood came to Kelowna Golf & Country Club looking for her second B.C. Women’s Super-Senior Championship. She got that and something even better. The Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club member also claimed her third B.C. Senior Women’s title, coming from behind to beat five-time champion Jackie Little of Port Alberni in Thursday’s final round.

    At age 64, Horwood didn’t see another seniors title in her future. That category is open to players 50 and over. Horwood had her sights set on the super-senior category, which is for players 60 and over.

    By Brad Ziemer, British Columbia Golf

    KELOWNA -- Jackie Little collected five B.C. Women’s Amateur titles and hoped to match that total when she began the senior phase of her golfing life. Little accomplished that goal last summer and the Hall of Famer from Port Alberni is now in a position to go one better.

    Little fired a one-over 73 in Wednesday’s second round of the B.C. Senior Women’s Championship at Kelowna Golf & Country Club and with a 36-hole total of six-over 150 carries a one-shot lead over Vancouver’s Holly Horwood into Thursday’s final round. Win No. 6 -- which would be her third straight -- is in her sights.

The goal for International Olympic Day is to promote the Olympic values and participation in sport across the globe regardless of age, gender, or athletic ability.

    With 13 sports represented, International Olympic Day provided students with the opportunity to realize the skills required to play sports across the sporting landscape. At our British Columbia Golf station the skills of ball striking and rolling were on full display.

    By Brad Ziemer, British Columbia Golf

    KELOWNA -- Many of her non-golfing friends couldn’t understand why Sandra Turbide was so happy about turning 50. “When I turned 50 I was so excited and people were like, are you crazy?” Turbide said with a laugh Tuesday. “I said you guys don’t play golf.”

    Maybe now her friends will understand after Turbide shot a three-over 75 in the first round of the B.C. Senior Women’s Championship at Kelowna Golf & Country Club. That left the Maple Ridge resident one shot behind first-round leader Penny Baziuk of Sidney.

    McCarthy, who closed with a seven-under 64, finished the $175,000 Mackenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada event at 25-under par. That was seven shots better than runner-up Ryan Williams of Vancouver.

  • Senior Women Get An Old Classic For Their Championship Tourney

    By Brad Ziemer. British Columbia Golf

    KELOWNA -- British Columbia is blessed with a number of golf courses that perhaps can be best described as old classics. Kelowna Golf & Country Club is one such example. It has been around since the 1920s and nearly 100 years later boasts a membership of about 1,300. 

    The course, which was re-designed by A.V. Macan in the early 1960s, is the site of this year’s B.C. Senior Women’s/Super Senior & Stableford Championships. A field of 94 women, including last year’s Senior Women’s champion Jackie Little of Port Alberni, is expected for the 54-hole event that runs Tuesday through Thursday.

    By Gino Cutri, British Columbia Golf

    All it takes is a search of #womensgolfday on social media to see that the inarguable event was a global success. Women’s Golf Day was founded on three core principles: engage, empower, and support.

    Through these principles the event was designed to allow a simple and accessible platform to build a foundation and create a network to support the continuation of golf no matter the skill or interest level.

  • B.C.’s Adam Cornelson Makes Biggest Move in This Week’s Rankings

    Albin Choi made the biggest move among the Top-10, gaining 102 spots in the world rankings after finishing tied for fifth at the Web.com Tour Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship. It was the third-best career finish for the Golf Canada Young Pro Squad member and helped him move from No. 10 in the Canadian rankings up to No. 7. Choi picked up 3.08 world ranking points, his third-straight points-paying finish.

    While Choi made the biggest move inside the Top-10, it was Adam Cornelson making the biggest move of the week with his win at Mackenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada’s Bayview Place Island Savings Open. The Langley, B.C., native gained 882 spots in the world rankings after picking up his first career win while setting a new 72-hole scoring record on the Mackenzie tour. It was quite the turnaround for Cornelson, who finished 94th on the money list last year to lose his Tour status. After finishing tied for ninth at Q-School, he earned exempt status through the first four events of the year. The win was worth 6.00 world ranking points and moved him from No. 29 up to No. 14 in the Canadian rankings.

    This Summer’s B.C. Amateur Championship At Pheasant Glen Has Special Meaning For The 13-Time Winner

    By Brad Ziemer, British Columbia Golf

    It was the summer of 1967. Lester B. Pearson was prime minister, Canada was celebrating its centennial and a shy 15-year-old named Doug Roxburgh was playing in his first B.C. Amateur Championship. A half-century later, Roxburgh is still playing in the tournament he has won a record 13 times. 

    This summer’s 114th playing of the B.C. Amateur at Pheasant Glen Golf Course in Qualicum will be an especially meaningful one for Roxburgh, who will tee it up for the 50th time. Roxburgh hasn’t missed one since playing in his first B.C. Amateur way back in 1967 at Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club in Vancouver.

    Nanoose Bay Resident Claims Both The B.C. Women’s Mid-Amateur And Mid-Master Titles At Nanaimo Golf Club

    By Brad Ziemer, British Columbia Golf

    NANAIMO -- Shelly Stouffer battled more than just her closest pursuers in Thursday’s final round of the B.C. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship. She also battled the butterflies, which were in full flight as she walked the final few holes at Nanaimo Golf Club.

    Stouffer, a Nanoose Bay resident, overcame her nerves and held off Alison Murdoch of Victoria and Christina Proteau of Port Alberni to win the Mid-Amateur title by two shots.  “I am pretty happy,” Stouffer said. “I was able to hang in and win coming down the stretch. I was nervous, man.”

    Greg Bismeyer Of Mission Claims Mid-Master Title

    By Brad Ziemer, British Columbia Golf

    NANAIMO -- In the end, Kevin Carrigan won by six shots, but it was more of a struggle than you might think. Carrigan, who had a nine-shot lead to start Thursday’s final round of the B.C. Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship, saw his huge cushion slipping away after a disastrous beginning to his back nine.

    “It didn’t feel like I was going to win by six after I had made three consecutive bogeys and splashed one into the water,” the 29-year-old Victoria native said. “I was thinking that the wheels had fallen off and I didn’t know where they had gone.”

    By Brad Ziemer, British Columbia Golf

    NANAIMO -- Jordan Belton desperately wanted to defend his B.C. Mid-Amateur title this week at Nanaimo Golf Club, but the Surrey resident knew it wasn’t going to be easy. Not so much the golfing part, but getting there.

    Belton’s wife Courtney delivered their first child, a son named Bauer, just two weeks ago, and he knew that being away for a few days would be a tough sell. So Belton, with his wife’s blessing, decided he’d commute daily from their Surrey home to Nanaimo.

    By Brad Ziemer, British Columbia Golf

    Murdoch fired a four-over 76 Wednesday at Nanaimo Golf Club and her two-round total of 154 has the Victoria Golf Club member two shots in front of Shelly Stouffer of Nanoose Bay and three up on Christina Proteau of Port Alberni. Those three players will play together in the final group on Thursday.
