Junior
Golf
|
Our
golf club boasts a vibrant junior membership, thanks to our
dedicated Pro Shop staff and the club members who come out to
help out with golf instruction and etiquette. The cost
for this program is very low, especially considering the
number and variety of lessons and playing events which our
junior members enjoy. Anyone interested in the
Junior Program is invited to pick up a hand-out describing the
program and its goals and requirements from the Pro Shop.
We
are very proud of the fact that our Assistant Pro, Brian
Rands, was honoured by the BCPGA in 2006, being named Junior
Developer of the Year. He is assisted by many of our
members, and the program enjoys great sponsorship from a
number of businesses in town.
Junior

Over
the years, our junior program has produced some fine golfers
who have gone on to earn golf scholarships or take up a career
in the golf industry. Some of these talented former
Alberni juniors are Chris Herkel, Lenny Cyr, David Turner, and
Christina Spence. The latest junior to earn a golf
scholarship is Alyssa Herkel, currently studying and playing
golf at the University of Victoria.

open air, our deck is definitely the place to be; now that we
have propane heaters, you can party on well into the evening
hours.

Ladies’
Scrambles
Don’t
let the name scare you away: all female golfers are invited to
play in all of our Business Ladies’ events.
On
regular play days, members and non-members alike can drop in
any Tuesday from mid-afternoon on and head out for nine holes
of golf. A dollar a week entitles you to compete for
year-end prizes for low gross average, low net average, most
birdies, best attendance, and so on. Each week there are
two chances to win KP (closest to the pin) honours, and each
time you have a KP you are automatically entered in the
year-end chipping contest. Wonderful prizes and
gift certificates make the year-end shoot out one of our most
sought-after titles, so you’ll want to play regularly to
give yourself the most chances to win.
Once
a month through our regular season, the Business Ladies hold a
scramble. These are very popular events which feature 9
holes of scramble-style golf and great food. Best of
all, everyone is guaranteed a prize!
This
year, our scrambles fall on these dates:
