THE CANADIAN SENIORS’ GOLF ASSOCIATION CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF SENIORS GOLF 1918-2018 s we head into the next Century of CSGA golf, there is Aplenty to be thankful for. We are now concluding a very busy year for our Association. For 100 years the Canadian Seniors’ Golf Association has been a center for golfers age 55+ to meet new people and establish life long friendships Canada-wide. The CSGA was founded on May 18th, 1918 with the first Annual Tournament being held at Royal Montreal Golf Club that September. The 2018 Centennial event at Rosedale Golf Club and Scarboro Golf and Country Club (both founding CSGA Clubs) was no different than the previous 100 with a group of Senior Men coming together to enjoy each other’s company for a few days. The original field of 81 far exceeded the Association’s expectations. This year the CSGA hosted 300 players from CSGA President, Mike Jackson across the country on the two courses. The CSGA is a National Association that has members from coast to coast. There are 789 active members including 155 emeritus members who are represented. We continue to have a strong wait list that is reviewed annually. The CSGA celebrated its Centennial throughout 2018 starting with the publication of our Centennial Book, written by London based author Jeffrey Reed. Jeffrey, Ian Gibson (Executive Director), Sheila Johnston (Secretary) and Jim Fraser (CSGA and Ontario Golf Hall of Fame Member) completed extensive research at Golf Canada archives to source essential resource content and photos for the book. And canvassed many golf clubs in Canada for historical material. We are extremely grateful for their efforts to produce and distribute our Centenary book. Leather Bound Our Centennial was a busy year with eight CSGA hosted 1918 CSGA Record Book Golf Canada Archives events across the country plus invitations to CSGA members for nine additional events that took place in Canada, USA & France. To start the season the 3rd Annual Western Satellite was held at Point Grey and Vancouver Golf Club in British Columbia on May 6th & 7th. A heart felt thanks to Brian McGuire (CSGA Governor & Point Grey Golf & Country Club Member) and Paul Batchelor (CSGA Governor & Vancouver Golf Club Member) for hosting. It was nice to see players that travelled from different parts of the country to participate in this event. The Centennial celebration was initiated with a Satellite event on the day of our 100th anniversary, May 18th at Cutten Fields Golf Club. A big thank you to John Pate (CSGA Governor & L-R: Author, Jeffrey Reed Cutten Fields Member) for hosting the 97 members who played. & Patron, Jim Fraser CSGA Governor’s Denis Connor and David Zareski held a Satellite Tournament at New Ashburn Golf Club in Halifax on June 11th. Rain didn’t dampen the participants from playing a great game of golf and the 19th hole. The event also generated new CSGA Eastern applications. A few years ago, a Quebec vs Ontario tournament which is now an East vs West was initiated by Ottawa Hunt member and CSGA Governor, Rick Bennett and Beaconsfield member and Governor, Nick Ceravolo. This event has become one of our favourite and most popular tournaments. This year, Ottawa’s Camelot Golf and Country Club was the venue. Rosedale Golf Club and Scarboro Golf and Country Club couldn’t have provided us with a better Centennial Annual Tournament. Both courses were exceptional. The management and staff made everyone feel very welcome. Many members commented that this was the best annual tournament to date. Thanks to David Turner (CSGA Governor & Member) and Bruce McEwen (CSGA Member) for taking part in welcoming players at Scarboro Golf and Country Club. David also donated 3 beautiful antiqued golf bags that were prizes for “hickory shafted” closest to the hole competition at Scarboro’s famed 19th hole. And thanks to David Kerr (CSGA retiring Governor) for his support organizing the event along with John Chippindale (CSGA Member), John Mealia (CSGA Governor & Member) and Mike Mealia (CSGA Member) for organizing a welcoming committee of Rosedale Golf Club members. CSGA rookie and Whitlock Golf Centre; Pierre Simon, President of the Normandy Club member Mark Ross, was the Chapter of the Senior Golfers Society of France Low Gross Senior Champion at presenting the awards to the Canadian team at the the Annual Tournament with an 62nd Deauville International Tournament in France outstanding score of 141. Summerlea Golf Club member Graham Cooke, was the Low Gross Super Senior Champion with a score of 154. Congratula- tions to both Mark Ross and Graham Cooke for their wins. In September the CSGA hosted the Devonshire Cup. It was a great opportunity to return to Royal Montreal Golf Club and celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first international match played against the United States Seniors’ Golf Association. Although we finished up on the losing side, it was a very memorable few days. A full report on the event is included in this insert. We have many CSGA Members who are generous with their time to make our association outstanding. Thank you to each one of you who has participated in helping at these events. Because of your help, we all benefit and get to enjoy the game we love. We of course couldn’t operate without our staff, Executive Director, Ian Gibson and Assistant, Sheila Johnston. I have worked alongside these two over the last few years and have to say they extend themselves to see that our Association runs smoothly throughout the year. Ian has worked diligently with Golf Clubs across the country to ensure our visibility and make them aware of who we are and what we do. We currently have venues for almost every major event for the next four years. The CSGA has increasingly played a part with The Golf Canada Foundation. We are one of the largest contributors to the Foundation. Thanks to CSGA members for your continued financial donations. We make a difference to awareness of Canadian Golf and needy students. Many members have taken advantage of the relationships & opportunities to golf in other countries. Six CSGA Members registered to play in the 62nd Deauville International Tournament in France. They were Alain Brunet, Neil Cunningham, Jim Deeks, Michael Horrocks, Richard Stone and Kevin Whelly. The Canadian Team of Horrocks, Whelly, Stone and Cunningham defeated Germany in the semi-finals to win the Tournament. For the sixteen teams that did not make the playoffs there was a Fourball Stroke Play and Chapman Stroke Play Competition. Alain Brunet won the gross prize in the Chapman Stroke play taking home the Coupe de Cael Trophy. When receiving invitations for International events please ensure you act quickly. Spots for our members to attend are limited and typically available on a first come basis and these popular events are often in high demand. Seven of our members and their spouses attended the annual Seniors event at the Country Club of North Carolina on October 15 - 18th. This four day event is growing in popularity and makes for a nice trip on the way south for the winter. This year’s Canadian CSGA attendees were Jean Crispo, Greg Gardiner, Raymond Jessome, Dave McClintock, Danny Osadca, Bill Sheldon and Tod Stewart. For me, the last year has been very gratifying. I have been able to attend many CSGA events including Halifax, Ottawa, Cutten Fields, Royal Montreal for the Devonshire Cup Match and our annual tournament at Scarboro and Rosedale. I am so glad to make it to the different events as I can personally see the enjoyment that our members receive by coming together. As we move into the next 100 years, I can see that the CSGA will maintain the history and tradition that the first 100 years has given us. The CSGA truly is an Association that allows gentlemen senior golfers a place to enjoy the great game of golf. Yours Sincerely, Mike Jackson, CSGA President PS: If you don’t have a copy of the historic CSGA’s Centennial book, you can order one by emailing [email protected].

  • The Greening of Golf

    The Greening of Golf

    3 Waging a war on pests: golf comes to America Having established our theoretical foundation, we begin this chapter in the early 1900s, at a time not long after golf had migrated to North America from the other side of the Atlantic. Golf’s official history in North America begins in 1873 with the foundation of the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Canada (The Royal Montreal Golf Club, 2011). Fifteen years later, the first American course was formed in Yonkers, New York (see PGA.com, 2013). The journey from Europe to Canada and the United States was surely not the first moment at which golf spiralled together with the forces of globalization. The Royal Calcutta Golf Club, for example, still considers itself “the home of golf in India”, having been founded in 1829 and conferred the title ‘Royal’ at the start of the next cen- tury (The Royal Calcutta Golf Club., n.d.). But our analysis in this chapter begins from the premise that golf’s journey to North America, and especially the United States, is particularly important when considering the game’s overall history – and its environmental impact. Although golf’s origins are contested, Scotland is commonly presumed to be the birthplace of the game. Scotland is, if nothing else, the site of one of golf’s more famous stories: King James II’s attempt to ban golf on the grounds that it was distracting the masses from their archery practice (British Golf Museum, n.d.). This was an injunction destined to fail. In 1552, as Campbell 2002( ) recounts, “the citizens of the town of St Andrews [Scotland] were given, by charter right, the use of the links for ‘golf, futball, shuteing at all times with other manners of pastime’ ” (Campbell, 2002: 15).
