Once again, the Elk Ridge Resort Golf Fore Cure event was the top fundraising event of the year to battle breast cancer in Saskatchewan.

Chair Verna Schneider said they didn’t raise as much this year as the previous two events but, the support from the golf course and surrounding area is still strong.

“Yes, the support is still there,” she said. “A lot of business people from Prince Albert and north. We get golfers from Prince Albert, Candle Lake, Waskesiu, you know, those places. We had another good year; it was a little less than the two previous years. It was still over $20,000 which is good.”

This is the ninth year Elk Ridge has taken part in the national fundraising initiative. They surpassed the $100,000 mark in 2019. Schneider said for many area ladies, the event is a highlight on their calendar.

“For some of them yes, we do still have to work hard for golfers, that’s always been our problem,” she admitted. “Part of it is it’s on a Thursday in the summer, people have company and families or that type of thing otherwise most of the ladies from our club and the area support us.”

The top fundraising club from each province gets to attend the national Golf Fore the Cure event, this year it was held at the Mississauga Golf and Country Club. This is the fourth year a group from Elk Ridge attended. Schneider said the past three years the top raising foursome travelled to the event but the Dutchak family insisted the Elk Ridge organizing committee (Leigh Anne Nelson, Donna Dutchak, Debbie Klarenbach, Schneider) receives the experience. Schneider attended her first national event and said the trip was a fantastic time.

“It was good, we’re very happy, we had a very good trip to Toronto to the national tournament. Adidas is a wonderful sponsor, my goodness we came home with wardrobes,” she laughed.

The money raised through the program is distributed to the Canadian Cancer Society however, the Elk Ridge committee keeps their funds in Saskatchewan that has been used for various Saskatchewan Cancer Agency initiatives. Next year will be the final year that Elk Ridge will host the event. Schneider said they’ve had a great run, but all good things must come to an end.

“Everything reaches a time when you have to say okay, that was good. I think it’s time for someone else to do something else,” she said.

Elk Ridge was second in the nation this year, the host club in Mississauga raised over $32,000.

Since the program’s inception in 2003, over 130,000 women have been involved and helped raise over $6.8 million.

After weeks of district and regional events, the field is set for the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Associations’ (SHSAA) provincial golf championships taking place at TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club in Estevan Friday and Saturday.

The Woodlawn hosted the championship two years ago and was approached by the SHSAA to once again welcome the event. Head professional Amanda Minchin said despite heavy precipitation levels of late the course should play well for the competitors.

“The course is still in great shape,” Minchin said. “The greens in my unbiased opinion are awesome. They are running just like they were mid-summer. We have had a lot of rain in the last three weeks, the course is wet. We have a couple holes that are still trying to drain but overall it looks amazing.”

North Battleford hosted the event last year and had a heavy dump of snow on the first day of the event. According to the Weather Network, as of Thursday afternoon, Friday is expected to see a high of 10 degrees with a 40 per cent chance of rain and Saturday the high is expected to be eight with rain. Minchin said the elements will play a factor but shouldn’t hinder the players experiences.

“Hopefully the weather cooperates okay with them, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be awesome weather but, hopefully it’s not a heavy rain and two degrees or anything. Hopefully the kids enjoy the course and I think they will,” she said.

Almost 100 students will be competing in the event. Estevan product Jace Carlisle won the boys champuionship last year, he’s now playing golf in college at Lake Superior State University. Creighton’s Lauren Fox was the 2018 girl’s champion. Minchin said even without Saskatoon golfers participating the field is stacked with strong players.

“I think this is a provincial event, it’s a big deal,” she said. “The kids that have come for practice rounds are out there, they are excited, yeah this is a big event.”

Not only will the Woodlawn be hosting the high school event for the second time in three years their club is a fixture on the Saskatchewan leg of the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour. Minchin is a big promotor of junior golf and is excited to once again welcome everyone to the Energy City for the weekend.

“We’re happy to have the kids here, the coaches, teachers, parents, we hope they enjoy their few days with us. We wish them good luck and we want them to have fun,” she added.

The 36-hole tournament begins Friday morning.

A pair of Saskatchewan golfers have returned from the Maple Leaf Junior Tour (MJT) National Team Challenge event in Niagara Falls with lifelong memories.

Cole Jenkins, 17, qualified for the event with a second-place finish at the Saskatchewan Zone Junior Championship at Dakota Dunes earlier this summer. The Prince Albert product placed 43^rd in a field of 60 players during the 54-hole tournament at the Royal Niagara Golf Club from Sept. 20 to 22. He said competing against international players at the event was a memorable experience.

“It was nice, it was a super good experience,” he said to Golf Saskatchewan. “Just getting to know people from all over the world really. There was people from Australia, Mexico, and Florida.”

Jenkins improved by a stroke each day at the championship, he opened with an 84, shot 83 on day two and capped his tournament with an 82. He said he struck the ball well, but his short game abandoned him a little bit over the week.

“I was hitting the ball well but once I got up next to the green I had no feel it seemed like. I probably lost 20 strokes just putting and chipping. I was hitting putts on my line but, I didn’t understand what the reads were doing. It was strange,” Jenkins admitted.

While in Niagara Falls the players took in many of the tourism spots and mingled with each other. Jenkins said that made the trip extra special.

“It was awesome, I have never been there so a really cool place to be. It’s crazy how big those falls are. Everything around there is pretty cool,” he beamed.

The grade 12 student is getting set for the high school provincial championship this Friday and Saturday in Estevan at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club. He will also attend the MJT National Championship in Florida in November. Upon graduating he hopes golf continues to be involved with his education.

“I’ve been talking to colleges and trying to get something going there. I’ve gotten asked by a couple Div. III schools and a couple junior colleges, I am just not sure which route I want to take,” he explained.

Regina’s Autumn Neiszner qualified for the event through the Dakota Dunes tournament that she won in July. The 15-year-old also performed remarkably at the MJT National Team Challenge placing third overall and being the top Canadian girl in the field of 29. Neiszner said she’s happy with her score despite a somewhat different process to get there.

“I am not super pleased, I hit the ball really great, but my putting was not very good at all,” the Wascana Country Club member admitted. “I managed to make the putts that mattered and that was good but, I didn’t play my best. I hit the ball probably better than I ever have, I hit more greens than I ever have, I hit more fairways than I ever have, my putting just wasn’t great so, it all kind of evened out in my score because usually it’s opposite for me.”

Neiszner shot a three-round total of 239 (78, 80, 81), +23 which was just three strokes back of second. She was 14 shots off the winner, Annika Rathbone of Australia. Overall the 2019 Saskatchewan junior girl’s champion was pleased with the result.

“I’m pleased with third obviously, but I feel I could have shot better every single day. I had way too many putts the last day. For the number of putts I had I am pleased with how I scored,” she said.

Much like Jenkins, Neiszner was overwhelmed by the trip and experience in Ontario. She said the relationships she gained added to the memorable trip.

“We met some very nice people from Australia, I’m friends with the two girls now,” she said. “We talk on the phone still even though we’re on the opposite sides of the world. We are really great friends. They are so nice and supportive; it was a really great experience.”

Neiszner had never been to Niagara Falls prior to the event. She was able to go behind the falls and rode of the Maid of the Mist among other tourism highlights. She said sharing those moments with her new-found friends will potentially stick with her longer than her bronze medal.

“It was so great, just walking down the street, it was almost like a mini Vegas strip. It was really cool, it was so fun hanging out with the Australians and Mexicans, all that was so fun,” Neiszner lamented.

The grade 11 student will also compete in the high school provincials this weekend and the MJT National event in November.

Both Neiszner and Jenkins competed for Central in the 15 team competition, they placed seventh. Australia was the winner.

On Wednesday the MJT announced they have dispersed over $20,000 across Canada in funding to assist players attending the national event in Florida. Neisnzer, Ella Kozak (Yorkton), Dane Giesbrecht (Warman), Thomas Danielson (Saskatoon), Alex Swinnerton (Saskatoon), Jayden Dudas (Estevan) and Keighton McNab (Saskatoon) will all be eligible to receive funds.

The event runs from Nov. 7 to 10.

It was a marvelous night at Riverside Country Club on Saturday as the Saskatchewan Golf Hall of Fame welcomed three new members.

Tyler Wright, Dr. Randy Gilewich, and Gary Brandon made up the 2019 class that grows the Hall to 53 individual inductees and four teams.

Gary Brandon

Brandon was the lone inductee enshrined posthumously, he was represented by his wife, Bonnie, and children Skye and Bobbi. Skye said the evening was emotional but memorable.

“It was, there was an element of not sure how to proceed at the same time too, you know our dad, in the case of our mother, her husband is being inducted posthumously so, you never know how much to speak, how much not to speak, how many friendly faces are you going to see? It turned out quite a few, it was a great revisiting of friends and to have that respect shown to our dad was fantastic,” he said after the gala dinner.

Gary succumbed to cancer in 2009. Golf was his profession, but he excelled at many different sports and is inducted into several Hall of Fames. Skye said had he been able to attend Saturday’s event he would have been very proud.

“He would have been blown away,” Skye said. “He was always about community, when we were growing up in Melfort when he was the pro there and then again when he moved to Dauphin he always showed so much support to businesses in town because he knew those were the people that were going to support his course and golf there. To see the golf community at large recognize him back would have meant a great deal. I think he would have been overwhelmed.”

The ninth Hall of Fame banquet was attended by over 70 people. Many of the people in attendance were mentioned during all three inductees speaking at the podium. Skye said that proves how tightknit the golf world is in Saskatchewan.

“I mentioned Kenny Morrow and Graham Coulter, I’ve known them since I was a kid and to see them still part of this community and to see how someone like Graham is connected to both the other inductees as well, it’s a small, tightknit community and to see those cross sections is pretty fantastic,” Skye added.

You can see Brandon’s full biography here.

Skye spoke with Golf Saskatchewan’s Clark Stork following the induction.

Dr. Randy Gilewich

An amateur career that has spanned four decades, Dr. Randy Gilewich was inducted on Saturday. A lifelong Wascana Country Club member shared the evening with family, friends, and employees of his dentistry business in Regina. Gilewich said the event exceeded his expectations.

“The whole night has been fantastic, better than one could have expected,” he said. “All the support from friends and family, reliving a lot of the memories, and hearing all the stories. The night for me has been fantastic.”

Gilewich and Wright rented a charter bus from the Queen City to transport their attendees to the event in Saskatoon. Not everyone he wished to be in attendance could make it, but he said the support he received was special.

“I had girls from work, friends from all over the place, my mom and my kids, that was very special. My dad, like I said who passed away years ago, he’d be so proud for this night. It really amplifies the value of it that they’re supporting you. To have the support from everybody in an individual sport is remarkable,” he said.

“It’s truly an honour, a privilege to be accepted into the Hall, this is the highest honour bestowed upon us. I will cherish it forever,” he concluded.

Gilewich will be inducted into the Wascana Hall of Fame later this year.

His biography can be seen here.

Gilewich also spoke with Stork following the gala.

Tyler Wright

Regina’s Tyler Wright is just 40 years old and became the youngest inductee in the history of the Hall.

Winning his first tournament at the age of 12 success has followed him all the way to a 2019 Mid-Masters (40 +) provincial championship at the Royal Regina Golf Club, his first course he had a membership as a junior. Much like the other two speakers, Wright said the evening was one he won’t forget.

“It’s surreal, it’s phenomenally special to be able to spend this opportunity with my family, friends, the mentors that have came out, it’s overwhelming and I think my speech reflected that. I tried to keep it together but it’s tough when you have an opportunity to thank those people who have impacted your life so significantly. To do it in a public forum it’s emotional, it’s been an emotional overwhelming night but, what a special night,” he said.

When Wright first spoke about the induction he credited his Grandpa Louie and his love for the game being passed down to him. Louie has since passed away and was mentioned by Wright in his speech. He said he was with him along the way.

“My grandpa was a big joker, he’d be celebrating, he would be smiling, he’d be keeping us loose and laughing. He was here,” Wright smiled.

Being so young with likely many more national appearances and championships to come Wright will become a mentor for young golfers. He’s a teacher and vice-principal so leadership follows him. He said that may not have been the case without his golf mentors including Gilewich.

“We had some really quality golfers at the Regina when I started as a kid, there is a long list there,” he explained. “We had a strong list at the Wascana including Randy and Tom McNall (inducted in 2017) and I always looked up to those guys, I wanted to emulate them. I watched them play when I had an opportunity, it’s just really special. Randy and I are tied deeply, my wife has worked for him for 17 years now. Anytime you can experience something with someone you’ve looked up to as a leader and mentor I think it makes it that much more special.”

Wright will also be added to the Wascana Hall of Fame with Gilewich later this year.

His biography can be found here.

His interview is below.

Ball lies in a greenside bunker with temporary water …now what do you do?

Situation and Question: Your ball lands in a bunker adjacent to the putting green. A heavy rainfall overnight has left “a temporary accumulation of water” everywhere in the bunker except for a high, narrow strip at the end which is where your ball lies. Presumably you are entitled to relief for your stance but complete relieve is not available without leaving the bunker. What are the player’s options?

Answer:

1. The ball is in the bunker which has a temporary accumulation of water, which is important as it is different from an unplayable ball.
2. The player is entitled to Free Relief, if available, however as the ball is in the bunker it holds some special properties. A player cannot get out of the bunker without either:
   1. making a stroke, or
   2. proceeding under a rule (in Stroke play or similar format).
3. In this case the player can stand in the water or take the “maximum” available relief possible, without penalty and play the ball in the water or having to stand in the water.
4. If the players does not like this option, she/he can add 1 penalty stroke and take the ball back-on-the-line and drop a ball outside the bunker in the reference area.
5. Neither of the options are great for the player but it is what the rules allow.
6. See picture below for a description of the situation.

Autumn Neiszner will head into the final round of the 2019 MJT National Team Challenge on Sunday at Niagara on the Lake seeking a medal performance.

The Saskatchewan seniors who represented the province at the Canadian championship are pleased with the event and their performances after the fact.

Colin Coben was the top local golfer finishing in a tie for 25^th at the event in Scarborough, Ont. from Sept. 10 to 13. The Delisle golfer was 19-over, 303 (74, 72, 80, 77) after four rounds at Cedar Brae Golf Club. The 64-year-old said overall the week was a great experience.

“It was a beautiful golf course, and this never gets old,” he said. “You want to go, and you want to compete, and you want to do well. It’s always nice to be on the team and part of that too.”

The field started with 156 golfers from across Canada and the United States. The cut line was the top 70 players plus ties. Coben said the way you play doesn’t always reflect the score, but he managed to show well during the event.

“The top-25 is okay but, I was 12^th after the second day. I didn’t play well the first day and shot 74 with bogeys on the last two holes which is still an okay score. The next day I played pretty well and shot 72, and then that 80, I don’t know where they come from but, you’re playing hard. The next day was a real tough day, it was windy and cool.”

The team consisting of Coben, Ken Rodgers, and Brent Wotypka finished well in fourth place during the inter-provincial competition. After round one the team was in seventh but a strong second day bumped them up the leaderboard. Coben said they did have bragging rights over our neighbours to the East.

“We weren’t good the first day, but we had a couple really good scores the second day and got into fourth,” Coben explained. “We were hanging out with all the Manitoba boys and they had us but we surpassed them and beat them by a shot so that was good.”

Overall this was Coben’s 31^st national championship experience. He’s made the cut in all but one senior event he’s participated in. While in Toronto the Saskatchewanians joined some friends from other provinces and took in a Blue Jays game as part of the trip. Coben said the golf is important but other memories will last a lifetime.

“I keep track of what I’ve done, and it will look good on there, you make the cut and top-25 but, the comradery is second to none. You see a lot of guys you see once a year at this thing, you are happy to see them, and they are happy to see you. It’s really good, hopefully a guy can get back next year,” he added.

2018 provincial senior champion Rick Hallberg was the team alternate this year at nationals, the Weyburn product had a strong showing finishing as well tying for 32^nd. Hallberg shot rounds of 76, 75, 78, and 75 to finish at plus-20. The Golf Kenosee member was encouraged with his week.

“I’m not going to complain, that’s for sure,” he told Golf Saskatchewan. “I am happy with the way I played, I played with a lot of really good guys and had a good time. I played my practice round with a member there who was on the Ontario team so, he gave me and Rick Hillestad lots of good teams. There was lots of great guys out there, the comradery was really good.”

Arguably Hallberg was the most consistent Saskatchewan golfer at the event, although he didn’t reach par like Coben or Rodgers who also made the cut, he didn’t shoot hire than 78. Hallberg said limiting mistakes is key, but hole eight at Cedar Brae caused him some issues or his score potentially gets him inside the top 20.

“You try not to make any mistakes, if you get in a little bit of a pickle just try to play smart and settle for a bogey. I had a couple bad holes the first two days on the same hole, I shanked the ball off the tee both days which I don’t normally do. That cost me a double and a triple but, that’s golf. It’s not an easy game,” he said.

Travelling to Scarborough and playing Cedar Brae was a highlight for Hallberg as well. He said national events never disappoint.

“I’ve played a couple courses in the top-15 or so in the country and Cedar Brae was as good as anything I’ve ever played,” he said. “Spectacular conditions, excellent staff, back shop guys looking after our bags, the proshop people, everything as far as that was absolutely spectacular.”

Rodgers placed tied for 48^th at the event. Hillestad was a couple shots back of the cut line at 16-over. Wotypka, playing in his first national amateur in over 40 years finished at 20-over.

The Saskatchewan amateur senior Order of Merit season is over, Hallberg is the back-to-back champion. He’s the first defending champion since Coben won three straight years from 2011-13. Hallberg said he’s pleased to win the standings as he edged Coben by 50 points.

“I was happy with the way I played this year. I got to play with a lot of good players this year again. I got to play against Colin several times. It’s always tough to compete against him, he’s a good player and one of the nicest guys you will ever play with. All the guys at provincials too, Ken, Brent, great bunch of guys, I can’t imagine going to a golf tournament without those guys around,” Hallberg concluded.

Deer Valley’s Carey McLean made her collegiate debut for Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) on Sept. 14 and 15 at the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) North Regional in Edmonton.

McLean carded rounds of 83 and 80 finish at plus-19, 163 at the 36-hole tournament. She placed second overall in the event held at RedTail Landing.

Kennedy Turcotte won the event at six-over.

As a team the Trojans tied for second with Medicine Hat College.

The women’s ACAC Championship will be held at Coal Creek in Ryley, Alta. from Sept. 27 – 29.

Harcourt finishes with Minot State team low

United States college golf teams were on the course in various locations again to start this week.

On Monday, Sept. 16 in Grand Forks, North Dakota, Kipling’s Carson Harcourt helped the Minot State Beavers to fifth-place team finish at the King’s Walk Invitational. Harcourt shot a two-round total of 147 (72, 75) to finish in a tie for 13^th.

As a team the Beavers shot plus-22 for the event.

Saskatoon’s Marc Sweeney picked up a top-10 finish on Friday, Sept. 13 in a single round event for the University of South Carolina Beaufort Sand Sharks.

Sweeney shot four-over, 76 to finish in a tie for 10^th while helping his team tie for first at plus-seven at the Battle of the Bridge at the Club at Savannah Quarters in Pooler, Georgia.

The Sand Sharks will host their annual USCB Innisbrook Invitational in Tampa, Florida from Sept. 29 to Oct. 1.

Kydd competes in Battle at the Rock

The Indiana Wesleyan men’s golf team was in action at the Battle at the Rock in Peru, Ind. on Sept. 16 and 17.

Jacob Kydd, a Royal Regina Golf Club member posted a round one score of 90 and followed that up with an 86 during day two. Kydd landed in 30^th at 32-over par.

Indiana Wesleyan had two teams competing at the tournament, their A team won the event at plus-42. The B squad (the leaderboard didn’t determine which team Kydd was competing for) finished in fourth place overall.
