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.

  • Caddie Guide
    GETTING STARTED AS A CADDIE A GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS 49 Knollwood Road • Elmsford, NY 10523 www.mgagolf.org INTRODUCTION Caddieing is a great job. The money is good, you work outdoors and have an opportunity to meet successful and influential people, and you may even earn a college scholarship. Caddieing is an important job. It is part of golf’s heritage and part of its future. It is also a great way to learn the game of golf. This is YOUR book. Study it and ask your Caddie Manager or Golf Professional to explain anything that is not entirely clear. Knowledge of its contents will help make you a better caddie and valuable to the club and the golfers you serve. This book is published by the MGA Foundation. We believe caddies are an important part of the game of golf and together we are working to help keep young people like you active and interested in this great sport. THE CADDIE MANAGER The Caddie Manager is pivotal to the golf club industry with many responsibilities, which can materially affect the welfare of the club. The Caddie Manager is charged with the task of recruiting and scheduling caddies. He must also communicate effectively with the Golf Professional and other club staff members and can have a significant influence on the extent to which the membership enjoys the game. A professionally trained, knowledgeable and courteous group of caddies and a well-managed caddie program can help a club deal more effectively with slow play, significantly add to the number of enjoyable rounds of golf a n d enhance the club’s overall image of a first class operation.

  • Phillis Meti Wins World Long Drive Championship with Exotics Driver by Tour Edge
    Phillis Meti Wins World Long Drive Championship with Exotics Driver by Tour Edge 2nd World Long Drive Championship in Three Years for Exotics Driver Tour Edge Exotics staff player Phillis Meti won the women’s Volvik World Long Drive Championship Wednesday night with a 313 yard drive in the final round of the live for television Golf Channel event. Meti recently switched to a new Exotics driver and is now a 3-time World Champion that has won two World titles in the last three years competing with an Exotics by Tour Edge driver. She is now tied for second-most all time World Championships in the Women’s Division with Stacey Shinnick (2000, ’02, ’05). Meti’s 317-yard drive in the semifinal match moved her on to the Finals in Thackerville, Oklahoma. “This is really unbelievable,” Meti said following the win. “When we took a different course earlier this year in terms of training and focus and having the intention to win the World Long Drive Championship again, you know this is just the cherry on the cake.” Meti, from New Zealand, has a strong history with World Long Drive as the Volvik World Long Drive Champion (2016, 2018), Volvik World Long Drive Runner-Up (2007, 2008) and 2017 Clash in the Canyon and 2018 Atlantic City Boardwalk Bash Runner-Up. “We are so proud of Phillis for her amazing victory in World Long Drive last night,” said designer of the Exotics driver and President of Tour Edge, David Glod. “This is a growing sport that is aired live on Golf Channel so Phillis has given our driver a huge amount of exposure.

  • 12 Great Ideasfor Golf Tournaments
    12 Great Ideas for Golf Tournaments TIP Golf Relay This is a team event where members of the team switch off 1 after each shot, like a relay running event. One person drives the ball, then the next hits the ball onto the green, then the next puts it in, and so forth and so on. The idea is just to switch out in a set rotation after each hit to make the course more challenging. The team that completes the tournament quickest and the team with the lowest score are both given prizes. 12 Great Ideas for Golf Tournaments TIP Golfathon There is a limited field of individual golfers (15-30) who 2 play as many holes as they can in a day. The golfers acquire pledges from sponsors for their rounds and it’s basically like any race where the golfer then tries to get in as many holes as possible to maximize pledges. The money then goes to the designated charity. 12 Great Ideas for Golf Tournaments TIP Porcupine Hole There are three pins on a par three. One is the main pin 3 and two others have different colors. The main pin should be in a harder location on the green and the golfer/teams would then have the option to pay a fee to try for the easier pin placements. The different color pins makes this look interesting too. 12 Great Ideas for Golf Tournaments TIP Lone Ranger The idea for this one is simple, but interesting. Players form 4 into teams, but only one person plays each hole and the goal is for the team as a whole to rack up a good score.
