The revitalization of all 18 holes at the North Battleford Golf & Country Club (NBGCC) is a “long range plan” but the metaphoric tee shot has been launched.

Six years ago the golf club underwent a one-million-dollar irrigation upgrade project that was paid for through fundraising and a positive relationship with the city of North Battleford. The course is beginning to redesign all 18 holes, this past season work began on hole four. Director of Golf Dana Johnson said the NBGCC members voted to begin on the troubled par-four.

“We’ve had a hard time getting the grass established on the fairway to make it short and simple,” Johnson told Golf Saskatchewan. “What also contributed to the problem is a 24” watermain that has broke four or five times in two years. This hole has been a problem the last quite a few years.”

Work on the hole was stalled due to the weather across Western Saskatchewan this past season. Johnson said the hole is fun to play leading to the members approving the upgrades first.

“It’s a more modern hole with a slight dogleg uphill and the green is a new modern style green but it’s a risk-reward, par four,” he said. “You can try to drive the green but there are two bunkers facing you. You have to challenge the bunkers and to the left there is a roll out area that collects balls.”

If golfers choose to lay up and sit at 200 yards from the 325-yard tee box a couple fairway bunkers also come into play. Johnson said two holes will be developed on four, potentially in the future the NBGCC will design a new driving range or a smaller scale practice range. Funding programs are in place, but Johnson admits the revenue is slow going.

“The challenges are now, with this new long range plan we’re going to start with hole four and do as much as we can and pay it off as we can. We with then decide what’s next and pay it off as we can,” he said.

If the weather cooperates hole four should be ready for play in the fall of 2019.

Aside from course renovations, Johnson continues to build junior golf in the North Battleford region every year. The NBGCC offers free lessons to upwards of 110 kids per week in the early summer months. Working closely with the Boys and Girls Club of North Battleford, Johnson said giving back goes beyond the benefits of the course.

“The Boys and Girls club do a great job with the different programs offered for kids, and we thought we could offer golf to their current programs being offered.  They do a great job, but we felt by offering golf lessons, the kids had an opportunity to learn a new sport.  We enjoy having the kids during the lessons and have many laughs with the kids during the time at the golf course.”

Golf Canada’s Incident Protection Plan continued to benefit golfers across the nation in 2018 including almost 20 members in Saskatchewan.

According to Golf Canada’s data, 17 claims were filed by Saskatchewan golfers this season totaling payouts of over $11,000 or an average of $665 per incident. A Golf Canada gold membership is $49.95 per year. The program includes incident protection coverage of up to $6,000 which includes lost or stolen clubs, golf cart damage, and glass breakage. Merchandise and ticket discounts plus online handicap tracking is included.

Of the 17 claims brought forward by Saskatchewan players this season, two were for equipment, two claims covered glass damage, four were for golf cart damage and nine covered deductibles owed to insurance companies in theft claims. During the claim process, claimants are asked to provide feedback on the program. October was a busy month of claims, but users were thrilled with the program and the benefits.

“I found the process easy to follow with a quick positive result.  Staff were friendly and helpful,” one claimant said.

For confidentiality purposes identities remain unpublished, however Golf Canada gold member Bill said fulfilling his claim was extremely simple.

“The Golf Canada Incident Protection program is a very beneficial “value add” to membership, I would highly recommend it. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Processing my claim was very easy,” he said.

In 2017, Saskatchewan produced a dozen claims worth almost $5,800. The program works differently among Golf Saskatchewan member clubs. Some golf courses have the fees included in their membership packages, other clubs don’t include the gold protection plan. Saskatchewan public players can purchase the membership separately. Golf Canada Chief Sport Officer Jeff Thompson said one mishap during the season covers the initial fee.

“One broken window, one broken driver, the membership would more than pay for itself,” Thompson told Golf Saskatchewan.

Nationally 189 claims have been made in 2018 totaling just under $115,000 in payouts. Thompson admits through the first three years of the program changes have been made and the process has been simplified and streamlined. He said some clubs want to be helpful and look after claims for their members, but Thompson suggests the member looks after any incident.

“We’re really encouraging whoever experiences the incident should be the one following up on it,” he said. “this really assists the expediency of getting it dealt with, the turnaround time for the most part is very good. Sometimes the challenges stem from people trying to do the right thing (head pro or GM) by getting involved to help with the process but more often than not this can make it longer than it needs to be.”

“Clarity around who has the incident protection is key, that it’s the member golfer that has the protection and not the golf club. We joke a little in the office that it’s bad shot protection. It’s not the owner of the car whose glass got broken, it’s really the person who has the protection that benefits,” Thompson said.

The Incident Protection Plan is a year-round benefit and covers members who travel to play golf abroad as well. Golf Canada has full intention of layering more added value components to the membership package in the very near future that will bring even greater value to the membership. For now Thompson said a priority is to ensure that our member clubs share information about these benefits to their members and let their golfers know about the everything that comes with being a member of their provincial and national associations.

Snow is on the ground but there’s work going on at the Hillcrest Golf Course. Building for the future will start shortly as the club has received initial approval for a new 35-year lease with the City of Moose Jaw.

The city owns the land that the golf course is situated on so General Manager Jasmine Jackman says this secures their future.

“The lease not only gives us the opportunity to seek out financial aid but it also gives the membership sort of an outlook on that we want to be here for another 35 years,” explained Jackman. “If they’re wanting to support or put their finances behind what we are doing, we want to make them comfortable.”

Now that the lease is technically out of the way, they can focus on their planned expansion to the clubhouse that will include their own washroom facilities as well as a new 120 seat general area to the south of their current building. Jackman believes the expansion that they have planned will breathe new life into the facility and allow them to apply for provincial or even national events.

“We started our fundraising campaign at the end of the last season there and we hit the $50,000 mark,” said Jackman. “Our phase one is scheduled to begin here in the next week, once frost hits. We’re bringing in sewer and water to the facility that will then provide us with the groundwork to behind the construction on top.”

The three-phase project could cost upwards of $400,000 and will take three or four years to complete, depending on community support and any construction delays.

Regina’s Autumn Neiszner didn’t waste anytime making a mark on her golf career never finishing lower than fourth place in any Saskatchewan Order of Merit (OMT) events while earning an invite to the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s (MJT’s) National Championship.

The 14-year-old Wascana Country Club member first visited the course with her grandfather, a member at the Wascana. Her parents started her in junior lessons and when Neiszner was 12-years-old. She started pacing herself with nine holes and now 18 is customary throughout a summer day. Neiszner said the non-repetitive aspect of the sport entices her spirit.

“I like that the game is challenging, and every shot is different,” she told Golf Saskatchewan. “I also like that different courses and different weather make it a new game. I like that I can I can always keep working on different aspects and get better.”

In her first competitive season Neiszner competed in a pair of Future Links events, five MJT tournaments not including the National Championship in Phoenix, Arizona this past weekend and the Golf Saskatchewan Junior Women’s Championship. During the MJT events she has a first-place, two seconds, a third and a fourth-place finish. She said the year went well but meeting new friends and competitors was the basis of her foray in tournaments.

“I don’t really have a lot of girls my age to golf with at my club, so it was a chance to meet other girls my age who golf. I also wanted to play more than 18 holes for fun with my friends,” Neiszner said.

She placed seventh in the under-15 girl’s division at the MJT invite-only national event. Neiszner shot a three-round total of 253, 30-over par that was assisted by her lowest round ever of 81 in the second round. She said the experience was a memorable one.

“I loved the course, it was really awesome to play my best tournament golf at nationals. I met some great people and got to play a practice round with my teammates from Saskatchewan,” she said.

Another highlight for Neiszner this summer was the LPGA’s CP Women’s Open held at the Wascana. Neiszner took part in a clinic hosted by Canada’s national team. Her family billeted a golfer and their caddy during the event and she was a volunteer on the driving range and putting green. She was able to meet several golfers including eventual champion Brooke Henderson and her sister, her caddy Brittany. Overall Neiszner said the experience will help her game going forward.

“It inspired me to get bet better and I think just watching made me better,” she said.

Neiszner will continue to work on her game using a hitting mat and net in her family’s garage. She said her dad searched for practice drills online to fine tune her swing ahead of next season. Neiszner said she hopes golf goes to the next level past high school.

“I need to work on my short game and putting a little. My goal is to continue to improve and get better and play on a college golf team,” she said.

Neiszner thanked her grandparents and parents for their support, she pointed out Saskatoon’s Anna Young as a positive role model as well as the members of the Wascana for supporting her golf aspirations.

You can hear more from Neiszner who joined Golf Saskatchewan’s Clark Stork this week.

No matter how many times we talk about the benefits and amenities included with a Golf Canada Gold-level membership (most recently, here), it doesn’t strike home until, well, it strikes home.

A little while ago, I saw a tweet from a member at a local golf club.

“Somebody stole my putter out of my bag while I was at the range right before my match. My red TaylorMade Spider…,” he lamented, adding a few expletives directed at the thief.

At last check, that putter retails for close to $400. He thought he was out of pocket for a replacement.

The club responded immediately.

“So sorry this happened,” messaged the director of golf. “But glad you are a member of @golfcanada which includes reimbursement for these situations.”

He was unaware of that. And, most likely, so are you.

Golf Canada’s Incident Protection provides up to $2,500 reimbursement for damaged, lost or stolen equipment, among several other advantages you may not be aware of.

Like the fellow mentioned previously, you may think it will never happen to you. But it can. And will.

Like the guy at my club who placed his clubs and bag behind his car and then backed over them.

And if you’re travelling this winter or any time for that matter, your Golf Canada membership protects you.

For example, airlines may or may not reimburse you for accidental or intentional incidents but that’s small consolation.

Team Canada member Maddie Szeryk was on her way to her first tournament of the year at Texas A&M when her clubs came down the airport carousel. The heads of her driver, 3-wood and 5-wood were snapped off.

Golf and travel writer Ted McIntyre has a similar story. “As a frequent traveler, I am a master club packer but had the head fall off my driver when I opened my travel case. Can’t imagine how far they must have fallen upside down for that to occur.”

There are myriad examples. Prior to the Ryder Cup, Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen lost not one but two sets of clubs in 10 days. This summer, Graeme McDowell’s clubs disappeared during a flight and he was forced to withdraw from final qualifying for the Open Championship. Another PGA TOUR pro’s clubs went missing thanks to the airline and were discovered for sale at a used sporting goods store.

Do you play a course with adjacent homes? Do you occasionally miss a tee shot? (Rhetorical question.) If you break a window, you’re covered up to $1,000 for the damage you caused.

Golf carts are convenient but as motorized vehicles, they come with risks. If you have an incident while driving one, a Gold-level membership covers you for damages up to $2,500.

As a Gold-level member, you also receive a set of identification labels to affix to your clubs in the event that you misplace one.  Anyone finding it can report it through an online notification system. You will receive an email immediately and be reunited with your club.

Along with providing an official Handicap Factor, these are the main benefits of your Golf Canada membership.

Think it can’t happen to you?

Most likely, these folks didn’t either but when it did, they were relieved to find that their Golf Canada Gold-level membership was there to protect them.

So far this year, according to stats provided by Golf Canada, there were 189 claims for which almost $115,000 was paid out in restitution. Of those claims, 119 were for clubs and other equipment, 39 for window damage and the remainder for various other deductible incidents.

Some examples from claimants:

“Driving cart and strap that holds bag onto cart broke and bag fell off. My driver was in two pieces.”

“Cart containing wallet, car keys, cell phone and golf equipment rolled into lake. Range finder and box of balls lost.”

“The remote-control caddie went into a pond. Retrieved right away but has not worked since.”

“Hit a drive and the ball hit a cart path and went through a residential window.”

“Push cart with clubs rolled down a steep slope and ended upside down in a water hazard.”

Brooke Henderson isn’t going to cut back on her ambitious golf schedule, even if it makes her climb to the top spot in the LPGA rankings more difficult.

The star golfer from Smiths Falls, Ont., has her sights set on No. 1 after winning two LPGA Tour titles in each of the last three seasons, including a career-defining CP Women’s Open this August in Regina.

Henderson is a bit of a victim of how much she plays, as the world rankings are calculated using a divisor based on tournaments played. Yet she said she won’t cull her schedule next year in order to move up the world rankings.

“Some of the players who don’t play as often as I do move up a little bit more,” she told The Canadian Press by phone from Florida. “But I’m happy to be back in the top-10, I feel like that’s where I belong.”

The 21-year-old tees it up this week at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Fla., the final event of this LPGA Tour season. She has a home in Naples, and said it’s a nice reward after a long season to be able to sleep in her own bed this week.

Henderson comes into the tournament after a tough four-tournament swing through Asia. She said she got sick at the halfway point of the trip and never recovered.

Still, Henderson has 12 top-15 finishes in 2018 and has earned more than US$1.4 million. She sits ninth in the world and third in the season-long Race to the CME Globe, which culminates this week. A good final tournament will give Henderson a shot at the race’s $1-million bonus.

“The results may not show it exactly, but I feel like my game has been the best it’s been over my time on Tour,” Henderson said.

“When I was on this year my game was really good. I did have some off weeks but generally my game is good and it’s getting better which is cool to think about.”

Henderson said level of competition on the LPGA Tour has gotten tougher since she turned professional at 18. For example, Ariya Jutanugarn, currently the world No. 1, has finished in the top-10 in more than half the tournaments she’s played this year.

“You can’t really take a breather,” said Henderson. “If you want to play well and get a high finish, you have to bring your ‘A’ game every week, which is pretty exciting for the women’s game. It’s definitely more challenging.”

Looking ahead to next year, Henderson confirmed her team would stay the same. Her sister Brittany will remain her caddie, and she’ll continue to use clubs from her longtime sponsor Ping, but part of her plan in the off-season is to test some of the brand’s new equipment.

Once the season wraps up, Henderson will stay in Florida to practice until Christmas, when she’ll return home to Smiths Falls to see her family and friends and take some “real” time off.

Henderson said the highlight of 2018 was winning on home soil in August. With her CP Women’s Open victory, she now has seven LPGA Tour titles, just one back of the all-time mark for Canadian professional golfers, held jointly by Sandra Post, Mike Weir, and George Knudson.

“This year was really busy and there was a lot of things going on, but I’m in a really good place both mentally and physically which is a really nice feeling,” she said. “I think the off-season will be a well-deserved break, but I hope I can go in strong this week and put on a final good show for 2018.”

Growing up in Deer Valley north of Regina golf was bound to be a part of Cole Obrigewitsch’s life. Obrigewitsch’s parents golfed at the Deer Valley Golf Club fuelling his passion for the sport.

Obrigewitsch, 19, said he played plenty of team sports growing up but loves the individualism of the game and the mannerisms that come with it.

“I like meeting people, the respect you get from people,” he said. “The golf community in general is so nice and everyone is so respectful.”

Obrigewitsch took part in his first Maple Leaf Junior Tour (MJT) event at Deer Valley when he was 11-years-old. At the age of 13 he started competing in more events and became more serious about the sport. This past summer he played in several MJT tournaments and a Future Links event. Obrigewitsch captured the Regina City Junior championship as well. He said 2018 was his most successful season yet.

“I think this year was my best year. I won my first event in Portage la Prairie at the start of the year. I played the Future Links a month after that, I had a good first two rounds but my last round I kind of blew up, but yeah this was definitely my best year,” Obrigewitsch said.

He was also the bronze medal winner at the Golf Saskatchewan Junior Boy’s Championship. Obrigewitsch fought back in tough conditions during round three at Moon Lake Golf and Country Club shooting a 72 to claim a spot on Team Saskatchewan and a trip to Medicine Hat for the national championship. He said the experience was fantastic to take in.

“I’ve never played in that kind of atmosphere before, it was intimidating,” he said. “There was a lot of very good players there, I didn’t perform my greatest. Overall it was a lot of fun and a great learning experience for me.”

Obrigewitsch missed the cut at the Canadian Championship, thinking that was his final junior tournament he wasn’t satisfied. The MJT invited him to participate in the collegiate age group at their National Championship in Phoenix, Arizona over the past weekend. He accumulated enough points on the tour to receive an invite and said bringing home a silver meant was special to him.

“The nationals in Medicine Hat would have been my last one and I didn’t want to end my junior career with that one because I played so bad. I was glad I got another opportunity to play another junior tournament. I am happy with how I finished in Phoenix in my last junior tournament ever,” he said.

Obrigewitsch is taking classes at Saskatchewan Polytechnic in Moose Jaw and will be working at his co-op program over the summer but hopes to participate in the Regina Amateur Championship, the Saskatchewan Men’s Amateur Championship and a few other events across the province.

You can hear more from Obrigewitsch who spoke with Golf Saskatchewan’s Clark Stork Tuesday.

Saskatchewan golfers fared well in Phoenix, Arizona during this weekend’s Maple Leaf Junior Tour (MJT) National Championship.

Deer Valley’s Cole Obrigewitsch was the closest to a championship in his age group falling four shots strokes back in the collegiate age group. The 19-year-old fired a 54-hole, 224 (72, 75, 77) slightly behind Calgary’s Jacob Magee. Keighton McNab, 19, of Saskatoon carded 229, he finished in fourth place. Martensville golfer Jax Chipman posted rounds of 79, 79, 75 fishing in fifth place 13 strokes back. The collegiate age group played from 6,600 yards with a par of 71.

TS&M Woodlawn member Jace Carslisle also carded a 223 (78, 73, 72) in the junior boys age group that left the Estevan product in fifth place among 26 17 and 18-year-old golfers. Griffin Wilson of Swift Current placed eighth in the age group with 228 (75, 76, 77). Avonlea’s Brayden Nestman carded a 245 and finished 21^st.

Two Saskatchewan golfers competed in the juvenile boy’s division. Estevan’s Chase Gedak scored a 21-over, 234. The 16-year-old finished in 27^th position. Will Danielson of Saskatoon was two strokes back of Gedak in 29^th place at 236 (75. 82, 79).

The top provincial finisher in the bantam boy’s division was Weyburn’s Derien Herlick. The 13-year-old shot 76 in round one, a seven-over 77 in round two and 77 Sunday in the final round. Herlick placed 10^th. Saskatoon’s Max Regier posted a 239 with rounds of 79, 83, and 77.

Dane Giesbrecht of Warman was the lone peewee boy golfing, the 11-year-old shot 265 from 5,600 yards.

In the 15-18 girl’s category Carey McLean of Deer Valley fired rounds of 82, 83, and 87 for finished at 252. The 17-year-old placed seventh in the division, Moose Jaw’s Raylyn Schmidt was just behind her with a total of 266.

Ella Kozak, 12, of Yorkton placed in the top five of the under-15 girl’s age bracket. The Deer Park golfer shot 247 (84, 78, 85). Regina’s Autumn Neiszner, on the strength of her best round ever of 81 during the second round finished in seventh in the age group at 253.
