The Prince Edward Island Golf Association has awarded the 2016 P.E.I. Amateur Golf Championship to the Dundarave golf course in eastern P.E.I.. The tournament will be held July 15th to 17th .

2016 marks the return of the Championship to a three round tournament with handicap divisions for both men and women . This year the tournament also moves to new later dates.

“The Association has made a committment to establish the Amateur as the premier golf tournament in the province. It has a long and proud tradition” said P.E.I.G.A. President Jim McQuaid.

“The Amateur not only identifies the provinces’ best men and women golfers it is also the qualifying tournament for the selection of 20 players to represent P.E.I. at the Atlantic Golf Championship in August so there is a lot at stake” said McQuaid.

The Association also announced that the 2017 Island Amateur Championship has been awarded to Stanhope . Future venues will be determined later this fall after golfer response to the new tournament format and dates have been evaluated.

Following last years Amateur the Association consulted with golfers on changes that they would like to see for the tournament . By way of a survey they indicated that they would like to see the status of the tournament enhaced and returned to three rounds. A Committee chaired by noted Island amateur golfer Sherry White oversaw the review of the championship .

“We are looking forward to a great tournament with a full field on a championship quality golf course” said McQuaid.

ADL National Junior Golf Development Centre
Fundraising Tournament

To Whom It May Concern:

2015 was another exciting year for junior golf growth and development on the Island. The up and coming talent is tremendous and since we are currently hard at work with Golf in Schools and Future Links development it will only get better. In order to properly develop this growing pool two years ago we created the Islands first National Junior Golf Development Centre. This is the first in Atlantic Canada and now sits beside the likes of Glen Abby for junior golf development.

The mission of this centre is to help all Island junior golfers discover how golf can help them lead a healthy, active, social lifestyle and show them the different pathways golf can provide. The recreational pathway will help them develop safe fundamentals to promote a swing they can safely use throughout their life. If they choose the competitive pathway they will strive to complete the 4 levels in Future Links then make the development centre’s team. If they make the team these athletes will become associated with our physiotherapist, nutritionist and strength, and mental coaches to help develop their game to their fullest potential.

The headquarters will be at the Summerside Golf Club but we are now opening satellite training locations with All About Golf in Charlottetown being the first. Our goal is to introduce more youth into this sport which they can play for an entire lifetime to achieve a healthy and active lifestyle. Close to reaching our 4000th child with the golf in schools program, this sport shows that anyone can have fun playing in any environment. We hope to keep promoting this across the Island with you continued generosity.

Please help us accomplish this plan by supporting our fundraising golf tournament!
