Jim Jempson, a life member of the PGA of Canada and recipient of the PGA of Alberta Lifetime Achievement Award, believed in promoting excellence and growing the game of golf.

The reputation of the PGA of Alberta as the most trusted resource in golf is built upon the sportsmanship and ethical practices embodied by our members, like Jim Jempson. The recipient of this bursary will be someone who puts into practice these same ideals.
