How did you get involved with Golf Saskatchewan?
“I got involved with Golf Saskatchewan because of people like my mentor, the late Bill Turnbull (Riverside Country Club professional) who devoted a lot of his personal time to developing junior golf before it was even popular. After I finished giving back to hockey I decided it was time for me to give back to golf, the game I love the most.”
What do you like about volunteering?
“I like volunteering with Golf Saskatchewan because of the people I’ve met along the way. Everyone volunteering is equally passionate about the game and we all have a common bond. I also get to see more and more of Saskatchewan and some great golf courses that I otherwise likely wouldn’t have gone to. Volunteering gives me a nice feeling that I’m doing something good for the game and having an opportunity to give back and meet some great people along the way.”
