Phil McCluskey and Logan Hill will be on familiar turf.

Before they were pros at River Bend Golf & Recreation Area, both honed their skills as youngsters at Red Deer Golf & Country Club, so they should know every nook and cranny of the course that will play host Thursday to the final of the PGA of Alberta’s Srixon/Cleveland Golf Team Match Play event.

Eric Locke, meanwhile, will be in familiar territory. He’s been to the championship match three times now. 

“I’m hoping third time is a charm,” said Locke, the manager of player development at Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club. “Both times I’ve been to the final, we’ve lost on 17.”

McCluskey and Hill — the head professional and associate professional, respectfully, at always-busy River Bend — have never previously advanced this far in this season-long showdown. 

Their reward is an opportunity to compete for the title at their old stomping grounds.  

“I was a junior member at Red Deer Golf and Country Club,” McCluskey said, starting to chuckle as he prepared for a joke at his own expense. “I’m not even going to say when, because it was before electricity.”

And how about Hill?

“I grew up there, too — a lot later than Phil did,” he quipped. “To compete at what used to my home course, that will be a lot of fun.”

For a lot of PGA of Alberta members, the Srixon/Cleveland Golf Team Match Play is among the highlights on the annual tournament calendar.

This March Madness-style bracket starts with 64 two-player teams — 32 in the south, 32 in the north. 

If you want your name engraved on this trophy, you need to win six straight matches. 

McCluskey and Hill proved to be the most dynamite of duos in the north.

As McCluskey put it: “We’ve done an unreal job of picking each other up this year.”

The boys from River Bend most recently knocked off Cardiff’s Dallas Cantera and Jeremy Lavallee to secure their spot in the provincial final.

Locke and his usual partner, Inglewood Golf and Curling Club head pro Sam Kirkness, sizzled through the south side of the bracket. They punched their ticket to the last dance by eliminating Matt Cook and Craig McArthur of Canyon Meadows. 

Thing is, Kirkness departed earlier this week on a members’ trip to Ireland. Since he will be unavailable for the championship match, Locke will instead join forces with Matt Bean, an associate pro at Priddis Greens.

“The main thing that Sam and I do is we hit lots of greens between the two of us,” Locke said, dishing on their recipe for success so far. “So, 13, 14, 15 times a round, we’ll have two looks at birdie. And very rarely does one of us not have a look. For us, we almost feel a little relentless. We don’t give holes away, I guess, is the best way to put it.”

As Kirkness prepared for his getaway, he had a message for his pal.

“He just said, ‘Go get ’em,” Locke relayed.

And what did Bean say?

“He was like, ‘Are you sure you want me?!’ ” Locke said with a laugh. “I said, ‘Oh yeah, it’ll be just fun. There’s no pressure.’ ”

No pressure, although there are bragging rights on the line.

And not just among the four gents who will be trading birdies Thursday at Red Deer Golf and Country Club.

“It’s more of a joke than anything, nothing serious, but we like to be able to say the south is a little stronger than the north,” said Locke, winner of the 2024 PGA of Alberta Championship. “It’s kind of Calgary-Edmonton in hockey, that same kind of thing. We like to play it up a bit that way.”

Red Deer has always been considered neutral territory in the Battle of Alberta, but McCluskey and Hill have picked a side and are now hoping to notch a win for the north. 

“The two guys we’re playing are good friends, really good players,” McCluskey said, setting up Thursday’s final match. “We’re going to have to play our best to even have a chance. But there’s no reason we can’t.”

RED DEER, Alta.—Eric Locke and Samuel Kirkness capped off the 2024 PGA of Alberta tournament season by taking top honours in the G&G Pro-Pro Best Ball event at River Bend Golf Club in Red Deer, Alta.

Locke (Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club) and Kirkness (Inglewood Golf and Country Club) celebrated a two-shot win after carding a 9-under-par, 63.

“We have played a bunch of PGA of Alberta Championships here so we knew there would be lots of birdies out there and that we’d have to get off to a pretty quick start with two par-5s,” said Locke, who won the PGA of Alberta Championship last month. “Luckily, we did that and then we just had to try to keep it going from there. We knew everyone was going to make birdies and eagles out here so we kept the pedal down for as long as we could.”

They certainly did.

The Calgary-based duo put together one eagle, nine birdies, and two bogeys on the fast River Bend layout for nines of 32-31.

“This is definitely the firmest that I’ve ever seen River Bend. You had to really pick your spots where you were going to land the golf ball because it was hopping forward,” said Kirkness. “The course was in really great condition. The greens were rolling really, really well. Overall, the course played awesome.”

The two buddies, who both used to work together at Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club, cited their friendship as the key to their success in the team best ball event.

“Sam and I used to play a lot of golf together when he worked at Priddis and this is an easy way for us to get together and play, same with the match play events this season,” said Locke. “It’s nice to get out there and play with your buddy again. It makes it easy for us because we do play a lot of golf together, so we know each other’s games well.”

Wes Heffernan and Scott Smith – both from Dynamic Motion Golf Performance Centre – were locked at 7-under-par (65) with Chris Toth (Broadmoor Golf Club) and Chase Rau (Sturgeon Valley Golf and Country Club).

Earl Grey Golf Club pros, Pat Wilmot and Scott Stiles, placed fourth in the field of 49 teams after carding a round of 66.

Todd Halpen and Greg Johnson sat one shot back of the team from 365 GOLF, Josh Fleming and Tyler LeBouthillier, heading into round 2 of the Callaway Golf Pro-Assistant Championship. The three format event consisting of Best Ball, Scotch Ball and Scramble would make for an exciting finish at Mickelson National GC on Wednesday. 

Halpen and Johnson looked to start fast and they did, posting three birdies and an eagle in the opening 6 Best Ball holes. This would give them the out right lead heading into Scotch Ball, which traditionally has been the toughest format in the event but they were able to battle with one birdie and one bogey. Fleming and LeBouthillier meanwhile, were looking to take back the lead they held at the start of the day. After falling 3 shots behind in the Best Ball portion, the team from 365 GOLF made eagle on the 276 yard par 4, 7th hole and would head to the Scramble portion behind by 1.

The final 6 holes would prove to be a race to the finish and a true grind by all 4 PGA of Alberta teaching professionals. Fleming and LeBouthiller would strike first as they made birdie on hole 13, tying for the lead after 31 holes and hoping to finish strong and take home the Championship. Holes 14 & 15 saw both teams come away with par but the pair from Golf Future weren’t going to let it slip away as they made birdie on the short 16th hole which would end up being the difference. Congratulations to Todd Halpen and Greg Johnson on winning their first Callaway Golf Pro-Assistant Championship.

CALGARY—Make it four victories for Calgary’s Mitchell Fox on the PGA of Alberta calendar this summer.

The Apprentice Professional from the Speargrass Golf Course proved once again he is amongst Alberta’s best in 2024 after taking the final Players Tour event of the season with a clean round of 67 at the Turner Valley Golf Club.

“I feel like I’ve played really solid this year. I putted really well these last few weeks so that’s helped a lot,” said Fox. “Today, I hit it really well and the game has been good all year. I just need to hope to break through in a few weeks in the national events, but this feels good to win here leading into that.”

Fox was sharp from tee-to-green throughout the 6,818-yard Turner Valley track where that hot putter helped him roll in five birdies on a bogey-free card.

Fox also won the Cobra/Puma Golf Assistants Championship, the Players Tour 2-Day Event at Cougar Creek, and teamed up with Matthew Mah to win the Kailani Pro-Pro Scramble earlier this summer.

The field of 30 players were slated to tee it up over two-days for the final Players Tour event of the season, but Mother Nature had other ideas, throwing heavy rain down in southern Alberta on Wednesday which forced Tournament Officials to shorten the event to a single-day 18-hole shootout.

“The course was really good especially considering how much rain they got yesterday. It was kind of surprising how well it recovered. It was in really good shape,” added Fox. “It was enjoyable to play. The setup was really good. I had Sam (Kirkness) who ended up finishing second in my group, so it was a good battle going back and forth all day.”

Inglewood Golf and Country Club’s Kirkness made a charge down the finishing stretch, making back-to-back birdies on the 15th and 16th holes. Fox and Kirkness were tied heading into the final hole, but Fox secured the title after a costly bogey on the 397-yard, par-4 by Kirkness for a 68.

Matthew Mah (Mill Woods Golf Course) was third at 69 (-3).

Chris Horton (Golf Channel Academy at Cottonwood Golf and Country Club) and Michael Harrison (Coal Creek Golf Resort) rounded out the top-five, deadlocked in fourth at even-par 72.

EDMONTON—Scott Allred and Gina Nelson etched their names in the history books as the winners of the 2024 Seniors and Ladies Championship presented by Schooley Mitchell and Fresh Golf Solutions at Trestle Creek Golf Resort near Edmonton on Tuesday.

Allred, who made the trip up Highway 2 from Calgary, was the only player in the 40-man field to finish sub-par in both rounds, taking the title with a combined score of -5. Nelson (Highlands Golf Club) was the top woman in Alberta for the second straight year.

Calgary’s Allred posted scores of 68-71—139 to take his eighth Seniors Championship by three shots.

“I just thought I’d try to keep the ball in play and hit fairways and greens. That’s all I kept saying to myself and then lag putting because it is so challenging on these greens,” said Allred, who had a bogey-free back-nine with six birdies on his opening day. “I was able to make a few birdies on the back nine yesterday, shooting 30, that is a low for me. A few went in for me. I feel very fortunate to have this eight times now. It’s exciting to still be competitive coming up on 64 here.”

Keith Whitecotton (The Quarry) was second at 142 after carding rounds off 68-74. Jeff Cuthbertson (Stony Plain Golf Course), Larry Petryk (Larry Petryk Golf Academy) and Chris Toth (Broadmoor Golf Club) finished deadlocked in third at 144.

The win secures Allred a spot in the final qualifier for the 2025 Rogers Charity Classic – Canada’s lone PGA TOUR Champions stop – which has been contested on his home course at Elbow Springs Golf Club. 

“There is an incentive to get into the final qualifier for the Rogers. It is neat to play with some of those guys who still haven’t qualified – that’s what I like about this,” added Allred. “As long as I’m still competitive, it keeps me motivated. It gives me the drive to keep working on my game.”

Gina Nelson was a model of consistency in the Ladies Championships, locking in rounds of 78-77 for a winning total off 155.

“It was in great shape. I’ve played here a couple of times and knew that the greens can be really challenging depending on where they put the pins. They did put them in some tough spots, so I knew putting was a big thing and needed to eliminate those mistakes as much as possible on the greens which was still a challenge but managed to pull it off."

It is the second time in her career that Nelson has won the top Ladies Championship in Alberta back-to-back.

“It is really important event. It helps grow women’s golf and I know that has been a big push at the PGA of Canada and here in Alberta, so we hope to continue pushing this tournament to be successful and be something that a lot of people are striving to play, and be a part of, because it is a big title to have,” she said.

Elizabeth Stewart (Edmonton Petroleum Golf and Country Club) finished the 2-day Championship in second with Marsha Rogers (The Derrick Golf and Winter Club) placing in third.

The Seniors & Ladies Championship presented by Schooley Mitchell and Fresh Golf Solutions kicked off round 1 at Trestle Creek GR. 

Leading the way for the Seniors is Keith Whitecotton (The Quarry) and Scott Allred (Elbow Springs GC) who matched cards on Monday with opening rounds of 68. Whitecotton was in control of his game all day draining 4 birdies and failing to drop a shot throughout the 18 hole test. Allred found his momentum as he made the turn, collecting 6 birdies in his final 9 holes to erase two early bogies and keep himself in contention to win another PGA of Alberta Seniors Championship.

The Ladies were also navigating their way on the sloped greens of Trestle Creek GR. Last years champion, Gina Nelson (Highlands GC) once again leads the field as she looks to go back-to-back for the second time in her career.

Calgary area pro celebrates one-shot victory with rounds of 66-68 at prestigious event

CALGARY—Calgary’s Eric Locke was crowned king of the PGA of Alberta for 2024 on Tuesday.

The teaching ace from Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club celebrated a one-shot victory at the two-day Cobra Puma Golf and Moblicab PGA of Alberta Championship held at Stony Plain Golf Course.

Locke held off a late charge by defending champion, Wes Heffernen, to take the flagship event on the PGA of Alberta calendar with rounds of 66-68 (-10).

Locke led wire-to-wire against the largest field ever in the history of the PGA of Alberta’s flagship event with 120 pros in the Wild Rose province teeing it up on the 6,800-yard test on the west side of Edmonton.

Taking advantage of stellar playing conditions, Locke carried a one-shot lead over Mitchell Fox (Speargrass Golf Course) and Scott Allred (Elbow Springs Golf Course) into the final 18-hole spin after rattling off a hat trick of birdies to close out his opening round six deep from par. Fox, who has won nearly everything on the table in 2024, and the scrappy Allred posted 67s on the first day with a handful of big names, including Heffernen, carding 68s.

“With Mitch Fox, Sam Kirkness, Wes Heffernan, and Dillon Batsel behind me it didn’t matter that I was at the top because I knew I was going to have to go out there and shoot a number today,” said Locke after winning the first PGA of Alberta Championship in his career. “I didn’t think 68 was going to be good enough, to be honest, and I figured I had to shoot another 66 or better to compete with those gentlemen.”

A head-to-head battle of the heavyweights in Alberta golf ensued throughout Tuesday’s final round on the treelined Stony Plain track. Locke and Heffernen opened with identical nine-hole scores of 33. Mixing together three birdies with a bogey after making the turn, Locke carried a two-shot lead into the final hole where he gave one shot back before signing a card for 68 to secure the victory.

“They made their push early and came out of the gates fast,” added Locke. “But actually, seeing them start to make birdies kind of settled me down because you have to do that too.”

Heffernen (Dynamic Motion Golf Performance Centre) was forced to settle for second place despite firing a 67 for low second-round honours, finishing at -9. Samuel Kirkness (Inglewood Golf and Country Club) and Dillon Batsel (Desert Blume Golf Club) shared third spot on the leaderboard at -8.  Kirkness won the Players Tour presented by Duca del Cosma at the Mill Woods Golf Course earlier this summer. Batsel lost the season-opening event at Picture Butte in a playoff.

The Stony Plain Golf Course has hosted many PGA of Alberta and Alberta Golf events throughout its rich history.

“We were excited to have the opportunity to host the most significant event on the 2024 calendar in northern Alberta,” said Jeff Cuthbertson, Executive Professional, Stony Plain Golf Course. “The course presented a really fair test of golf with chances to score and stretches where players were just looking to hold on. It was a privilege to host the top pros in our province.”

When Jeff Murdoch turned 50 in February, he added this to his summertime to-do list — trying to earn a tee-time to compete alongside the PGA TOUR Champions stars at the 2024 Rogers Charity Classic. 

He’s now one step closer. 

Murdoch was one of two PGA of Alberta members to advance through Friday’s pre-qualifier at Hamptons Golf Club. 

The final qualifier to round out the 78-man field is set for Tuesday at Elbow Springs. 

“I kind of set my goals on this in February and it just motivated me to keep my game in shape, to keep me in shape and keep me motivated,” Murdoch said. “I just wanted to do it to show my kids that it’s OK to try and OK to fail. So I’m pretty happy.”

There was no failure Friday.

Murdoch, who has maintained his PGA of Alberta membership but now works as a fire captain in Edmonton, carded a 3-over 75. After a lengthy wait to find out how that score stacked up, he made a clutch par on the first playoff hole.

Randy Robb, the director of coaching and high performance at Mickelson National Golf Academy, also advanced with a par in that three-for-two playoff.

“I didn’t expect this at all,” said Robb, who is a three-time winner of the PGA of Alberta’s Junior Leader of the Year award and continues to work with some of the most talented up-and-comers in the Calgary area. “I’ve been in Saskatoon all week at the Canadian Men’s Amateur, supporting the guys and walking the course, and I hadn’t touched my clubs in six days. 

“I was in Quebec at the PGA Seniors’ Championship of Canada the week before, so it’s not like I hadn’t played. But you know, we talk to our students about trying to ramp up going into an event. And then you get to the tee today and it’s like, ‘OK, which wedge is in here?’ 

“I made an eagle on No. 16, so that really helped. I didn’t expect 75 to be in a playoff, but I hung around and now we’ll see what happens Tuesday at Elbow Springs. That’s kind of fun.”  

Wouldn’t it be fun if he could play his way into the star-studded field for the 2024 Rogers Charity Classic? 

That award-winning tournament runs Aug. 16-18 at Canyon Meadows and features some of the biggest names in the birdie-making business — Ernie Els, Padraig Harrington, and Mike Weir.

Robb has, over the years, encouraged countless students to attend the annual PGA Tour Champions shootout.

“I remember being there several years ago when Freddy (Couples) shot 61,” he reminisced. “And you’re thinking, ‘Whoa, that’s incredible!’ ”

The lineup for Tuesday’s final qualifier at Elbow Springs also includes Edmonton’s Larry Petryk, the reigning winner of the PGA of Alberta Seniors’ Championship. His provincial title provided a bye through the pre-qualifier.

As Murdoch, formerly the director of golf at Cougar Creek, prepared Friday for his three-hour drive home, he was excited about pulling a U-Turn to return to Calgary in just a couple of days.

And he was admittedly a bit emotional as he thought about calling his loved ones to share the news that he was through to the next stage of the qualifying quest.

“I have a 20-year-old at RCMP school and an 18-year-old about to start university, so I just wanted to show them that dad could still play some good golf,” said Murdoch, who won the PGA of Alberta’s Club Professional Championship in 2009. “And yesterday was my anniversary and I’m off playing a practice round. So I’ve got a really supportive family.

“It’s still a big road ahead of me,” he added, looking ahead to Tuesday’s shootout at Elbow Springs. “It’s still an uphill climb. But I’m up for the challenge and can hold my head high.”

CALGARY—Calgary’s Mitchell Fox is having a summer to remember, rattling off his third victory of the PGA of Alberta’s 2024 tournament series on Wednesday at the Sirocco Golf Club.

The Apprentice Professional from the Speargrass Golf Course carved out rounds of 66-65—131 (-13) for a four-shot victory at the Cobra/Puma Golf Assistants Championship.

“It’s a huge relief for me. I’ve come close the last three or four years in a lot of events. I’ve been edged by one by Wes (Heffernan) last year in the Assistants, so it is nice to come out on top,” said Fox, who also won a Players Tour event and the Kailani Pro-Pro Scramble. “Looking at the names on that (Assistants) trophy, it is nice to add my name to that group of guys.”

After throwing together a card of five birdies, an eagle and one bogey in his first 18-hole spin, Fox kept the pedal down in Wednesday’s final round.

“The match was tough. Any time you are going head-to-head with a guy like Wes, and having guys like Mike Belbin and Dillon Batsel hanging around you know it is going to be a tough day,” added Fox. “I knew I had to go out there and shoot a low score no matter what with Wes chasing me down, so I think that helped me.”

Mission accomplished!

With Heffernan on his tail Fox carded seven birdies in a bogey-free round on the final day.

“I didn’t play as good yesterday as I did today. I made a ton of putts yesterday, got some breaks off the tee where I made some bad tee shots but today, I just played really well all day,” said the former Canadian Tour player. “I putted well, I hit it well. The key over the last two days was probably that it was my better putting over two days all year. I hit it really good.”

Heffernan (Dynamic Motion Golf Performance) made a charge, opening his final round with 30 on the front side, but came up just shy in trying to successfully defend his title after stumbling down the finishing stretch with a bogey and double-bogey in his five holes coming home. Heffernan closed with rounds of 69-66—135 (-9) for second place. Dillon Batsel (Desert Blume Golf Club) settled for third place at 138 (-6) in the field of 68 players.

Camilla Ruesga Rojas and Jayden Arnold win U15 titles

EDMONTON—Calgary’s Sophie Dhaliwal and Edmonton’s Tate Bruggeman were crowned the queen and king of the Play Golf Alberta Junior Masters event for 2024, hosted by the PGA of Alberta at Royal Mayfair Golf Club.

Dhaliwal, who plays out of the Wingfield Golf Club in Calgary, won her second-straight Junior Masters title. Dhaliwal fired back-to-back 73s to run away with a nine-shot victory (146) in the Overall Girls Division (U19).

“I love the course. It is so well maintained from the tee deck to the putting greens, and I love playing tournaments in Edmonton,” said Dhaliwal, who stumbled out of the gate, opening with double bogeys in both of her rounds.

“A lot of my time on the course was spent on bouncing back. I struggled with the first couple of holes on the front nine, so my goal was to make a bunch of birdies, come back, manage my emotions. My putting was very good on the first day and it helped me on the second day as well.”

It certainly did.

The youngster mixed four birdies together with two doubles and four bogeys in her opening 18-hole spin. She played steady, making one birdie coming home in her final round.

Three players were deadlocked in second at 155. Emma Liu (Windermere Golf and Country Club) and Eva Hogue (Edmonton Golf Club) fired rounds of 80 and 75, while Jayla Kucy (Camrose Golf Club) carded scores of 74-81 in the field of 17 athletes.

Camilla Ruesga Rojas (Pinebrook Golf and Country Club) was tops in the U15 Girls Division at 78-75—153.

Tate Bruggeman lit up the Royal Mayfair Golf Club with a sizzling 64 in the final round of the boys event to take a five-shot victory. A member of The Derrick Golf and Winter Club, Bruggeman carded three birdies a side to finish 5-under-par and lead the 59 junior boys players in the two-day event with a score of 71-64—135.

“I hit the golf ball pretty solid both days. Yesterday, I was just a little bit off. I didn’t give myself enough really good looks and couldn’t make a ton of putts, but I got off to a good start today, kept it rolling, made a couple of 15 to 20-foot putts on the back nine that I hadn’t seen going in lately,” said Bruggeman.

The northern Alberta teen bookended his junior competitive golfing career at the Royal Mayfair.

“Today was just kind of a nice way to cap off my junior career. About 10 years ago, I played my first junior tournament ever here, so it was a special week,” said Bruggeman. “Royal Mayfair is a world-class golf course. It was in great shape and the staff and volunteers did an awesome job. I love the course, it was in great shape. The staff and volunteers did a great job. I always enjoy playing this PGA of Alberta event.”

Bruggeman began the final round one-shot back of Matthew Keane (Bearspaw Golf Club). Keane finished even-par 70 both times out for a total score of 140 and second spot. Ryan Gillis (Pinebrook Golf and Country Club) and Peter Hlushak (Windermere Golf and Country Club) placed third with combined scores of 144.

Jayden Arnold (Earl Grey Golf Club) was the U15 Boys Division champion after heating up the Royal Mayfair track with rounds of 68-69—137.

CALGARY—Michael Harrison stormed his way back from a five-shot deficit in the blistering heat to win the 2024 PING Club Professional Championship on Tuesday at the prestigious Calgary Golf and Country Club.

The head professional at the Coal Creek Golf Resort fired a one-under-par, 69, to secure himself the opportunity to playoff against David MacComb (Royal Mayfair Golf Club). The duo carded identical scorecards of 73-69—142 over the two-day event on the tight 6,503-yard track.

“It was hot and a challenge both days. I didn’t get off to the fastest start in round one, but I battled back, just kind of hung around and stayed really patient today,” said Harrison, who was born and raised in Camrose, Alta. “Today I got off to a much better start. I felt like I was there all day, had much better looks and a few good saves with a lot of good bounces. The course was in great shape – they did an awesome job hosting here.”

The graduate from the University of Alberta who played college golf at Augustana Campus, made a stellar par on the 18th and final hole to keep his hopes alive.

“That was a big save on 18 to finish my round and get into a playoff with Dave. I was very happy with that,” he said.

The duo headed back to the par-5 opening hole to determine the winner.

“That is my first playoff. I’m brand new to that kind of feeling,” added Harrison. “I wanted to play aggressively, kind of how I started the day, so I pulled driver and was trying to flag hunt into that first playoff hole. Luckily, it was a two-putt birdie and that was enough.”

MacComb was forced to settle for second place at 142 after making bogey on the extra hole. Three others were tied for third spot at 143 including defending champ, Samuel Kirkness (Inglewood Golf and Country Club), Dallas Cantera (Cardiff Golf and Country Club) and first-round, co-leader, Kevin Black (Redwood Meadows Golf and Country Club).

Black had a three-shot lead in the field of 69 PGA of Alberta pros after Monday’s opening round after carding a 68 alongside Matthew Kirlin (Lynx Ridge Golf Course).

 CALGARY—Chris Horton was crowned champion of the Players Tour presented by Duca del Cosma after carding back-to-back birdies in a playoff that extended two extra holes under blistering Alberta sun at the Mckenzie Meadows Golf Club on Thursday.

Horton, an Apprentice Professional at the Golf Channel Academy at Cottonwood Golf and Country Club, matched jabs with Kevin Black, in the playoff after both Calgarians carded 7-under-par 65s.

The head-to-head duel continued into the first extra hole, a 555-yard par-5, where the PGA of Alberta pros both made birdie. Horton continued his birdie streak to the 351-yard par-4 to lock up the victory.

“I was excited to head out against Kevin. I wasn’t sure if he was going to make it back,” said Horton, who added Black was the first group out on the day and left the property after his round so had to be called back for the playoff. “We both made some birdies and then he was in the fairway bunker on the second hole, and I hit it in close to seal the deal.”

Horton made the turn in 34 after carding four birdies and two bogeys on the opening side before catching fire on a back nine that saw him rattle off five birds in a six-hole stretch.

“On the front nine I had a few soft bogeys so I wasn’t sure how the day was going to go, and then I got it going on the back and finished well,” said Horton, who was hitting bombs in addition to firing darts at the flagsticks.

“I knew the course was fairly short, with short par-4s that you can get to in one. I just stayed aggressive all day. I hit three of them under regulation with a lot of two-putt birdies. It made it feel like a pretty easy round out there. It was an awesome, the course is in great shape, and the greens were rolling well.”

Black, who holds the post as Director of Golf at Redwood Meadows Golf and Country Club, was also as hot as the prairie sun on the closing nine, firing five birdies and an eagle of his own for a round of 36-29—65.

Five southern Alberta pros posted 18-hole spins of 67 (-5). Tyler LeBouthillier (365 Golf Inc.), Jason Stanier (Inglewood Golf and Curling Club), Austin Keller (The Links of Glen Eagles), Ethan Palmer (Cottonwood Golf and Country Club), and Samuel Kirkness (Inglewood Golf and Curling Club) all finished deadlocked in third place in the field of 70 players.

Terry Carter claims top spot in the senior division

Terry Carter (National Golf Academy at McCall Lake) was the lone golfer in the 18-man senior division to shoot a sub-par round. After opening with an eagle, Carter mixed together third birdies and one double-bogey for a score of 69 (-3).

Darryl James (National Golf Academy at Shaganappi) shot an even-par 72 for second place. Andre DiBartolo (Edmonton Garrison Memorial Golf and Country Club) and Brian Bassen (Strathmore Golf Club) matched rounds of 73 to finish T3 under ideal conditions.

The born and raised Edmontonian, who is the head golf professional at Northern Bear Golf Club, topped the 64-man field with a sizzling round of 67 In near perfect conditions.

EDMONTON—Calgary’s Mitchell Fox made it look easy on Tuesday despite challenging conditions to close with a 5-under-par, 67 for a handy five-shot victory at the Players Tour 2-Day competition at the Cougar Creek Golf Resort near Edmonton.

The Apprentice Professional from the Speargrass Golf Course charged into Oil country, teeing up his work week by taking a two-shot lead into Tuesday’s final round of the 36-hold event.

The former Canadian Tour player mixed together one eagle with five birdies and two bogeys for a sizzling 67 in the final trip around the tree-lined, rolling layout to secure the win (69-67—136).

“I played really good today. It is the type of course that you have to find your way around it, and hit to certain spots, but the course is in great shape, it was a good day and I’m happy with how I played,” said Fox, the son of a Class A Professional who turned pro himself in 2007 before joining the PGA of Canada just four years ago.

Kirkness claims 2024 title in second extra hole, Carr captures seniors crown after first playoff hole

EDMONTON—Samuel Kirkness and Glenn Carr proved victorious following extra holes at the Players Tour presented by Duca del Cosma at the Mill Woods Golf Course.

Kirkness (Inglewood Golf and Country Club) captured the main event in a two-hole playoff, while Carr (Lakeside Golf Club) triumphed in the first extra hole to take the seniors’ category.

HIGH RIVER, Alta.—Be assured the mixed team of PGA of Alberta professionals, Randy Hunter and Katy Rutherford, are driven to win the Srixon/Cleveland Team Match Play – South presented by Nike that teed off Tuesday at Highwood Golf.

But, the lone male-female tandem from Silver Springs Golf and Country Club are on a mission this summer far greater than wrapping their hands around the coveted team trophy. They, along with the 62 other pros from southern Alberta who teed it up for the season-long team event, are also on a mission to grow the game.

“I’m a huge proponent of professional golfers playing golf. I highly encourage it at the Club. I highly encourage Katy to go play in any event she needs too, and to play PGA of Alberta events, networking, to see everybody playing,” said Hunter, head golf professional, Silver Springs Golf and Country Club, who added that Nic Longley – an apprentice professional from his Club – also teed it up on Tuesday.

“I think it is also great to play with a fellow teammate at Silver Springs and very important to get out and play in these events, support these events and show the PGA of Alberta that we are nice and strong.”

Rutherford, the reigning PGA of Canada Brooke Henderson Female Player of the Year winner, was one of three women to mix it up with the men in Tuesday’s opening round of 16 matches. Carmen Kinas (Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club) and Nicola Greaves (Willow Park Golf and Country Club) also supported the mission to get more women playing competitively, or for fun and fitness.

“There are lots of (women) in the industry. It is just kind of paving the way to let everybody else know that we are here, that we are great golfers and that we want to compete,” added Rutherford. “It’s great to show face and have good representation more and more in each event.”

Calgary’s Rutherford and Hunter let their golf clubs do the talking on Tuesday in High River, winning their opening match 2&1 in a hard-fought affair over Mathew MacDonald (Olds Golf Club) and Dylan Wood (Innisfail Golf Club).

“It was a great match, a great golf course,” said Hunter. “We were all square sitting through nine and then had to put the pedal down on the back nine which was great. We made some birdies and coming home there were some fun holes. It was a great match, great to get out here to play with Katy and great to get the win.”

With the Team of MacDonald and Wood driving the green on the 15th and 16th holes of the 6,500-yard, par-71 layout that puts a premium on hitting fairways and greens, it was critical to make birdies for those seeking a ticket to the second round of the season-long event.

“Just staying patient (was the key). This golf course definitely has some drivable holes at the end, so par definitely didn’t leave you out of it. You had to make birdies here to win a hole, so definitely staying patient and staying in the mix,” said Rutherford.

The remaining matches will be played at times and golf course locations in Southern Alberta decided by contestants throughout the remainder of the season.

BEAUMONT, Alta.—Patience was the key for 64 PGA of Alberta professionals who teamed up for a head-to-head clash against their peers, not to mention Mother Nature, on a cool, rainy day to open the 2024 Srixon/Cleveland Team Match Play North presented by Nike on Thursday at the Coloniale Golf Club near Edmonton.

“It was a battle out there,” said David MacComb, head professional, Royal Mayfair Golf Club. “We knew we needed to be very patient and try not to get into too much trouble. It was a grind.”

MacComb and his partner Matthew Mah (Mill Woods Golf Club) had their hands full with an opening-round match against Jeff Cuthbertson (Stony Plain Golf Club) and Mike Belbin (Royal Mayfair Golf Club).

“It was a really tough draw with Mike and Jeff, who we also played last year. I work with Mike, and so I know how good he is,” said MacComb following a 4&3 victory.

“My partner and I ham and egged it pretty good. We both hit some poor shots but didn’t do it at the same time which was key, and we got away with a couple of short game saves. The course was great. It surprised a lot of people. It is awesome, a really cool place and it is not that easy.”

The Colonial Golf Club provided a gnarly test with difficult bunkers, large lakes and narrow fairways. Mother Nature threw another challenge into the mix with heavy rain plummeting down for most of the day on the lengthy track that stretches out to just over 7,000 yards from the tips.

“The course was in really good shape considering how much rain we got,” said Dallas Cantera, general manager, Cardiff Golf and Country Club who teamed up with his colleague Jeremy Lavallee for a 4&3 victory of their own over Kevin Day (Billy D’s Driving Range) and Grant Cammidge (Jagare Ridge Golf Club).

“The key was we needed to get the right yardages and figure out how long it would actually play, tried to stay warm and we just had to stay positive with the elements and not let it affect you. At the end of the day, we were just trying to make as many pars as we can and go from there.”

The remaining matches will be played at times and golf course locations in Northern Alberta decided by contestants throughout the remainder of the season.

“It’s a great event and is nice to have teams out there for match play,” added Cantera. “There is lots of good competition in the field. I enjoy getting to see some of the courses we might not normally play, and it is a good way to meet other pros.”

The opening rounds of the Srixon/Cleveland Golf Team Match Play – South Presented by Nike is slated for May 21 at Highwood Golf Course in High River.

Lethbridge pro defeats Medicine Hat’s Dillon Batsel in first extra hole

PICTURE BUTTE, Alta.— Taylor Jetten and Dillon Batsel grew up playing basketball and a bit of golf against each other in southern Alberta.

On a blustery Monday afternoon, they squared off once again – this time on the ninth tee box at Picture Butte Golf Club – to determine the winner of the season-opening PGA of Alberta Players Tour Series after the two southern cowboys matched rounds of 67s in an 18-hole spin around the 6,500-yard track.

When the dust finally settled around the first hole of overtime, the par-5 ninth green, it was Jetten – an assistant professional at the Lethbridge Country Club – taking his first career PGA of Alberta title.

“It was great. I got lucky out there on a couple of big putts and got lucky on a few of the bounces,” said Jetten, who added the course was in great early-season condition. “It’s early (in the season) and a lot of the other boys probably haven’t played a lot, but we got lucky in southern Alberta and have gotten out a few times. It’s always windy so it kind of played to my advantage with all of the wind today.”

Jetten secured the $900 winner’s cheque after getting the best of his Medicine Hat rival and defending champion of the event, Batsel, with a par on the first extra hole.

“I remembered earlier that 14 years ago I lost in a playoff in my Junior Club Championships, so I was like ‘hey you got another shot’ and I just wanted to capitalize on it,” added Taylor. “I got a little lucky on the playoff where he (Dillon) miss hit a few shots, and I snuck out the win.”

Batsel, a six-year associate professional from Desert Blume Golf Club, took home $600 for the runner-up finish. A trio of players – Michael Harrison (Coal Creek Golf Resort), Eric Locke (Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club), and Scott Stiles (Earl Grey Golf Club) all posted 68s to share third-place money of $450 each.

The tee sheet for the first PGA of Alberta event on the 2024 slate featured 50 professionals from across the province.

“We were very excited to have the opportunity to bring our community of golf professionals together once again in Picture Butte for the season-opener,” said Robert Rousselle, executive director, PGA of Alberta. “We are grateful to head professional, Dean Sklarenko, and his staff for hosting our community this week. Congratulations to each of the participants.”

The PGA of Alberta has targeted Stony Plain Golf Course to play host to the 2024 PGA of Alberta Championship, presented by Cobra/Puma Golf and Mobilicab, August 19-20.

The flagship event on the summer calendar will see nearly 100 of the top PGA of Canada golf professionals from the Wild Rose province descend on the west side of Edmonton to battle it out for the prestigious title.

“We are excited to have the opportunity to bring the most significant event in 2024 to northern Alberta, and to Stony Plain Golf Club which promises to test Alberta’s best,” said Robert Rousselle, Executive Director, PGA of Alberta. “We look forward to working with the team at Stony Plain to stage another successful chapter in the events rich history.”

Calgary’s Wes Heffernan will be looking to add another chapter to the PGA of Alberta’s history books when he tees it up at Stony Plain this summer. Heffernan has had success on the diverse Stony Plain track. The 46-year-old fired rounds of 67-65 one year ago to take the 2023 Assistants’ Championship title.

 “Stony Plain is 6,800 yards on fun,” stated Jeff Cuthbertson, Executive Professional, Stony Plain Golf Course, who added the course has played host to multiple PGA of Alberta and Alberta Golf events throughout its history.

“There will be chances to score, but beware, there are stretches where you are just looking to hold on. We are extremely excited to have this opportunity to host the PGA of Alberta Championship, and I know the course will present a fair test of golf.”

Mitchell Fox a name that is sure to be on the leaderboard. The smooth-swinging bomber who has Indigenous roots with ties to the Blood reserve south of Calgary placed second at the 2023 PGA of Alberta Championship and was also runner-up to Heffernan at the Assistants’ Championship one year ago.

Players will have a relatively fresh slate of greens to take aim at when they roll into Stony Plain. All 18 greens were renovated in 2019.

After a hard fought battle and 21 holes of golf, including 3 playoff holes, our team from the North, featuring Geoff Carew (Windermere G&CC) & Graeme Nelson (The Derrick G&CC) prevailed in the Consolation Final of the Srixon/Cleveland Golf Team Match Play Championship presented by Nike Golf. Our South team featured Austin Keller and Jacob Suto from Bearspaw GC.

It was a close match throughout, with neither team ever getting more then 1 Up for the duration of the Match. Each team had some chances to extend and stretch a lead at various times but were never able to create the separation needed to end it during the first 18 holes. There were some excellent shots, with Geoff & Graeme each sticking it to about 2.5 feet on a Par 3 respectively. The Playoff was complete on the third or 21st hole of the match, with Graeme Nelson draining a clutch approximate 15 foot birdie putt from just off the green after leaving his tee shot on the fringe/first cut and seeing his partner just miss a similar putt.

Congratulations to our 2022 Srixon/Cleveland Golf Team Match Play Championship presented by Nike Golf overall Champions - Riley Fleming (Lynx Ridge GC) & Scott Stiles (Earl Grey GC) who won the South region Championship and were victorious over their competitors from the North Bracket - Nick (Windermere G&CC) & Spencer (Edmonton Petroleum G&CC) Vandermey.

It was a beautiful day for Golf at Red Deer G&CC and saw a great battle take place on the course between our two teams. The South got out to an early lead behind some strong putting from Scott Stiles and were 2-Up following 9-holes of play. After clawing 1 back on #9 after a Birdie from North Team’s Nick Vandermey, the South team again created some separation after a Riley Fleming Birdie on #10. The Teams traded winning holes or sawing them off for the next 5 holes to leave the South 3-Up with 3 to play. After a Birdie on #16 the South Team closed out the victory with some stellar play throughout. The North Team fought valiantly and had some good looks throughout the day that they were just unable to convert on and that was the difference in the match.

Today’s event at Sirocco GC - Srixon/Cleveland Golf Team Match Play Championship - South has unfortunately been cancelled due to the weather forecast and current conditions being experienced around the course and city.  This was a difficult decision  to make but with the nature of travel and distance being covered by some Members’ to come to the event, believe this decision was in the best interest of everyone.

Planning is underway on several different options now that the Qualifier/Seeding round has been cancelled and an update with the plan moving forward will be published and circulated next week to all Teams/Players registered for this event. A blind draw is being considered, as well as potential reschedule options that could work with considerations to the relatively short/condensed time frame to get matches in over a busy summer season. An update will be shared next week on the plan moving forward and we appreciate the continued patience and understanding.

The first Golf Supply House event of the season at the beautiful Desert Blume GC is complete and didn’t disappoint. With score-able conditions, we saw some great scores on the Leaderboard today and had an exciting playoff conclusion! Albert Pistorius (Country Hills GC) & Grant Numrich (Red Deer G&CC) both carded excellent 4-under par 68’s to sit atop the Leaderboard after 18 holes and battled it out in our Playoff. 

Grant Numrich is our first player in the winner’s circle this season after a stellar performance today and coming out on top in the Playoff which will feel like some redemption for him after coming up just short in the Playoff at last year’s Assistants’ Championship at Sirocco GC.

Starting his season off with an excellent round, Grant carded an excellent blemish free round of 68 with 4 Birdies on the card. Grant managed to stick his 2nd shot of the Playoff to within 1 foot of the hole and came out on top with a Birdie on the 1st Playoff hole in some blustery spring golf conditions.

Coming up just short in the Playoff but finishing in solo 2nd and also carding an excellent 4-under par 68 which included 5 Birdies and 1 Bogey. Albert hit a great 2nd shot on the Playoff but was unable to cash in on his approximately 10 foot Birdie look. 

Finishing right behind our Leaders’ in a 7-way Tie for 3rd  who all carded great 3-under par 69’s today was the likes of: Justin Stoski (Lethbridge CC), Stefan Cox (Calgary G&CC), Kevin Black (Redwood Meadows G&CC), Jamie Gerlitz (Picture Butte GC), Keith Whitecotton (The Quarry) and Tyler LeBouthillier (GOLFTEC Calgary Beacon Heights).

Tournament News

With the 2020 tournament season just around the corner, we wanted to provide an update on what to expect for the summer! PLEASE NOTE: Tournament Registration will open for ALL tournaments on Wednesday, March 11^th @ 10am. Please read the information below for important updates on registration as well as other new initiatives being implemented this season.

Tournament Registration Process
After review by the Committee, registration for all tournaments will open for all tournaments on March 11^th. Members will not have to pay for the event until 28-days prior to the tournament date. This will allow members to better plan their schedules in advance when determining which events they will sign up for.

Withdrawal Policy
The withdrawal policy will see a few changes as follows:

• Withdrawal up to 28-days prior to event date, before Payment Deadline = 100% Refund
  
• Withdrawal after Payment Deadline but 14-days prior to event date = $50 Administration Charge
  
• Withdrawal less than 14-days prior to event date but before Registration Deadline (Thursday prior
  to event date) = 50% Refund of entry fee
• Withdrawal after draw is posted, after Registration Deadline = No Refund

Tournament Eligibility
There will be several changes to tournament eligibility this season that will allow members to play in more events. As we want to increase participation as much as possible, the following changes will be implemented:

Category II and III Members will now be able to participate in the Pro-Junior, Pro-Lady, and Pro-Senior Pro-Ams and the Pro-Pro Best Ball and Scramble team events. The Tournament of Champions and Pro-Assistant will remain Category I eligibility only as members must be employed at an approved facility to participate as per the conditions of competitions. 

Category III will also be eligible to play in the Team Match Play Championship.  Registration will come on a first come, first serve basis. There will be no restrictions or priority given on when a certain category can register.

Tournament Skins/Entry Fee
Tournament Skins will now be added to the entry fee for all stroke play events which are the Golf Supply House Series and Championships. Since the vast majority of members play skins at tournaments, it was decided to include the $20 per round into the entry fee to make it easier for members to enter skins and not have to carry cash to the tournament.

Pro-Assistant
The event will be hosted at Jasper Park Lodge GC this year on September 8 & 9. The Association has not held a tournament in Jasper since 2011 so we are excited for the opportunity to go back and host the Pro-Assistant there. The tournament will be an afternoon start day 1 and morning start day 2.

The office will announce several room blocks shortly for the event so we encourage you to sign up once registration opens and secure your room as early as possible to take advantage of the preferred rates.

Team Match Play Championship
The Team Match Play Championship will keep the same format as last year with the opening rounds being held at the beginning of the season to determine teams seedings. The opening rounds will be hosted at:

• South Event – Country Hills GC on May 11th
• North Event – Sturgeon Valley G&CC on May 13th

The format for the opening rounds will again be a 2-man best ball qualifier to determine rankings for the first round of the Team Match Play Championship. Purse money will be attached to the qualifiers for the top placing teams.

After the opening qualifying rounds, matches will resume as normal with the brackets being created based on the results from the qualifiers. The top ranking teams from the qualifiers will play the bottom ranking teams. If byes are needed due to an uneven number of teams, the byes will go to the top finishing teams from the qualifier.

All teams will be guaranteed the qualifying round plus the first round of the tournament, two rounds total. If you lose your opening match (after the qualifier), the team will be knocked out of the tournament.

Removal of Fall Championship
After much discussion, it was decided to remove the Fall Championship from the 2020 season as it has been increasingly difficult to justify the cost of running this event. With the removal of the Championship, the Association can spread the sponsorship dollars to other tournaments to increase purses.

Pro-Ams  - Net Stableford
The format this season for Pro-Ams will be a Net Stableford for the Pro-Junior, Pro-Senior, and Pro-Lady’s. This will ensure scoring is transparent and the focus remains on the team aspect while giving Pro-Ams a fresh new format.

Seniors’ Division
Seniors’ Division will again be added to two 1-day events this year, one in the North and one in the South. Members must be 50-years and older by the tournament date to be eligible to participate. This will give members 50-years and older an opportunity to play in more events during the season playing against their peers of a similar age. Locations will be announced shortly.

Ladies’ Division
Similar to the Seniors’ Division events, we will be adding a Ladies’ Division event to the GSH Series to give female Professionals another opportunity to compete against one another rather than just the Ladies’ Championship. Location will be announced shortly.

Shorts Policy
We will be removing the temperature policy for wearing shorts at tournaments this season. Members are permitted to wear shorts at any tournament they choose as long as the dress code policy including the host club’s policy is adhered to.

What a finish to the season for Nick (Windermere G&CC) and Spencer (Edmonton Petroleum G&CC) Vandermey after winning the 2019 Srixon/Cleveland Golf Team Match Play Championship today at the beautiful Red Deer G&CC. The Vandermey’s earned the victory after a hard-fought battle against the South team of Eric Locke and Sam Kirkness who both hail from Priddis Greens G&CC.

The Vandermey’s had a strong front nine making crucial shots when they needed it most to give them a 3-hole lead heading into the back nine. The match was looking like it would be a runaway for the Vandermey’s until Locke and Kirkness made some clutch birdies on holes 14 and 16 to cut down the lead to one. All players had a look at birdie on hole 17 par 3 however it was Nick Vandermey that made the putt to secure the victory for him and his brother Spencer.

Fresh off of winning the Pro-Pro Best Ball less than two weeks ago, the Vandermey’s follow it up with the Team Match Play Championship and each earn $2,800 in prize money for the win.
