On Wednesday, Applebaum and LPGA Tour commissioner Mike Whan spoke with media, and the pair were full of praise for Canadian golf fans and tournament partners, so far this week. “This is a week we've been looking forward to for a long time,” said Applebaum. “Ever since Brooke (Henderson) hoisted our national championship trophy a year ago in Wascana, we knew we'd be coming to a spectacular golf club (this year), with an amazing turnout for the week ahead, and we couldn't be more excited to watch Brooke as well as all our 15 Canadians who are in the draw along with 96 out of the top 100 LPGA Tour players. “We're so thankful the LPGA Tour has made this such an important stop on their global tour.” Whan, who played in the Championship Pro-Am Wednesday alongside Applebaum in a group with Golf Canada Young Pro Squad member Maddie Szeryk and Augusta National Women’s Amateur Championship winner Jennifer Kupcho, said the experience at the CP Women’s Open this week at Magna Golf Club has been nothing short of spectacular. “This is elite. It has been elite for a long time,” Whan said of the CP Women’s Open.

  • Hickory.2019.Summary1
    20th Annual Canadian Open Hickory Championship The Legends GCC Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada The 2019 Canadian Open Hickory Championship was held the week of August 12-16 at the Legends G&CC Sherwood Park, Alberta. The hickory event included a 2-day road trip on Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday Scramble, Thursday USA/Canada match (Ryder Cup format) and Friday Championship tournament. 32 players made the Monday road trip to the 18 hole Barrhead GC about an hour north of Edmonton. The Barrhead Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course designed by the renowned Les Furber. It has been included in Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play” for the last three years and is remarked as a must stop for all Central Alberta golf enthusiasts. 36 players made the Tuesday road trip to the Jack Nicklaus designed Northern Bear golf course just southwest of Sherwood Park. Winner of numerous awards, the Bear is a perfect blend of tree lined fairways, strategic bunker placements, five lakes, and USGA standard greens. The Wednesday scramble really marks the beginning of the tournament because you get to play the home course, meet new players, pony up some cash and get the competitive fires burning. 60 players were categorized as A,B,C and D players and teams are created at random as evenly as possible. This years team with a -13 score featured Ken Plaunt, John Collins, Gary Proctor, Fuzz Bazinet and Darcy Riopka. Ken’s 3 year son Blake tagged along to read the putts! After the round, players and other invitees visited a local home for a burger and chicken BBQ, a drink (or two!), lots of tales told and a viewing of a golf memorabilia collection.
