It’s hard to believe the 2018 golf season has come to an end. With the late start in April, the Fires, Smoke, Road closures and of course we certainly didn’t welcome the early snow fall on October 2
nd
with open arms; needless to say the golf season was shorter than normal.
I’m very proud of our entire team here at Copper Point as The Point Course was voted #85 in Canada for Score Golf’s Top 100 Golf Courses; all departments did an incredible job. We also received numerous positive comments on Food & Beverage, Guest Services, Flowers, Golf Shop, Academy and the course conditions for both The Point Course and The Ridge Course; the greens were relatively fast for most of the season.
These awards and recognition could not have happened without the hard work of our management team.
Mike Knowles – Head Superintendent for both The Point and The Ridge Course
Scott McClain – Head Golf Professional
Riley Keates – Guest Service Manager
Dennis Bradley – Director of Instruction
Katie Israelson – Food & Beverage Manager – The View Restaurant
Thijs Boersma – Executive Chef
Rachel Aylesworth – Communications Manager
Kym Walstrom – Accounting Manager
Dave Braund – Player Assistant Manager
Cheryl Asher – Horticulturist
Bruce Pedersen & Sheldon Polnick – Equipment Mechanic and Golf Cart Mechanic
We are making a change to one of the holes on The Point Course so watch for updates during our winter newsletters.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support the numerous Community Fund Raisers we did this year; we certainly made a positive difference for many individuals and organizations.
Have a great winter, stay safe and we look forward to seeing you in March for an early start to the 2019 Golf Season.
