Industry Looks Different After 2009

When the dust settles on 2009, there will be a lot of faces in new places compared to the 12 months ago and GNN, in its first calendar year, was there to cover these movements and the honors that were bestowed within the Canadian golf industry.

GNN will be slowing down for two weeks over the holidays as of this Friday, but if you have any downtime while taking a breather, it’s always fun to look back on our archives for a quick look at the year that was in 2009.

It was a year in which the number of Canadian players competing on the PGA and LPGA Tours doubled for 2010 and developing pros and amateurs made it known loud and clear that the number could grow even more in future years.

It was also a year in which familiar names changed positions and honours were handed out to recognize the contributions and achievements of people within the industry.

Here are some of the highlights:

Recognized for Contributions/Achievements

Mike Weir is inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame during a ceremony at his home course of Huron Oaks in Bright’s Grove, Ont., at the end of November … Lorne Rubenstein receives the George Gross Achievement Award from Sport Media Canada for contributions to sports journalism … Former du Maurier Classic executive director and LPGA Tour player Jocelyne Bourassa receives the Trainor Award from the Duramed Futures Tour for lifetime contributions … Mary-Jane Hall is recognized for 30 years of service at Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto. Association Honours

In September, the Canadian Golf Superintendents Association names David Boyd of Heritage Pointe in Dewinton, Alta., as its Superintendent of the Year. Other winners include Cameron Kusiek of Wolf Creek in Ponoka, Alta., as its Future Superintendent of the Year and former association executive director Vince Gillis as the winner of the John B. Steel Award … The Canadian PGA announces its award-winners including Bill Wogden of the Barrie Country Club in Barrie, Ont. (Club Professional of the Year), Rob Anderson of Shadow Mountain Golf Course in Cranbrook, B.C. (Teacher of the Year), Tim Moore of Thornhill Golf and Country Club in Thornhill, Ont. (Merchandiser of the Year) and Mike Kelly of the Golf Association of Ontario (Jack McLaughlin Junior Leader of the Year) … Montreal’s Claude Brousseau of the Kapalua Golf Academy in Maui is named PGA of America’s Aloha Section Teacher of the Year … RCGA national men’s coach Henry Brunton is named to the Top 50 Kids Teachers list by U.S. Kids Golf … Dallas Desjardins of Summerside Golf and Country Club in Prince Edward Island and Peter Stewart of The Country Club in Woodbridge, Ont., share the Tex Noble Award.
