It is a big year for Ardmore Golf Course as they celebrate their 70th Anniversary operating as a family business on the Saanich Peninsula.
The course has been busy this year and is in excellent shape with the arrival of Dave Morgan who will take over the role of Golf Course Superintendent from Greg de Jong, who will stay on part time and oversee the building and equipment maintenance. Greg has been at Ardmore for 18 years in the capacity of Golf Course Superintnedent and also acted as the General Manager from 2012 to 2016. This year the Board of Directors hired Jeff Palmer, 2015 PGA of B.C. Professional Development Points and Jack McLaughlin Junior Leader of the Year recipient, as their new General Manager.
Ardmore has a history of community involvement and fundraising, and this year is no different. Each week Ardmore Golf Course hosts thei “Slicers and Hookers” golf and dinner where golfers may play nine holes and have an amazing dinner catered by the Spitfire Grill. Ardmore donates $1 for every player each week to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation and their total fundraising effort is nearing their goal of $1,000.
On September 11 Ardmore will host their fundraiser for ALS research with a different twist in 2016. This year foursomes will be joined by a UVic Vikes Varsity Team Member in a Texas Scramble. Anyone can play in this event and for $50 you can enjoy 18 holes of golf on the course, dinner and prizes with some great players and help raise funds for ALS research.
On September 18 Ardmore will invite members and guests to help celebrate the course’s 70th Anniversary. Members of the Du Temple family will be present including Directors Teri and Cindy Du Temple along with the other family stakeholders. It will coincide with the Betty Du Temple Memorial Cup event where members and staff of the golf course play matches against members of the Du Temple family. There is always a fun event happening at Ardmore Golf Course!
