To warm up from the polar vortex that the weather forecast is still forecasting so that we remember January more, let’s go to Golf Canada. His 2025 competitive schedule among the country’s elite amateur ranks is sure to get the job done.
The pan-Canadian organization chooses Quebec for the presentation of three of its Canadian championships.
Director of Golf Canada in the province, Maxime Desjardins will be busy with two national events in addition to the activities.
WHO? OR? WHEN?
The three Canadian titles will be contested in the regions.
Located on the Gatineau side despite its name, the Royal Ottawa club will host the 120th coronation among men’s amateurs, from July 26 to 29, shared custody with its neighboring club Rivermead during the first two days.
By the way, in August, women’s golf will occupy the place for not one, but two weeks.
The Lachute club, at the gateway to the Laurentides, will continue to show that it has regained its letters of nobility by hosting the “Mid-Am”, from August 6 to 8.
Saint-Marie, in Beauce, will continue with the most promising junior talents in the country, from 13 to 16.
In events, the qualification for the RBC Canadian Open will be played on May 21, at the Griffon des Sources, in Mirabel. The “Next Gen” Quebec stage will be held from July 3 to 5 at Rideau View, associated with Quebec although located in Manotick, Ontario.
In short, it is therefore a question of being patient with the assurance that a “hot” summer for Golf Canada in Quebec is now assured.
STATISTICS

PAID OPERATION OF THE CAP WAR
When we return to the courses this spring, we expect to see “Canada Is Not For Sale” cackles in response to Donald Trump and his insistence on his 51st state. “Canada is not for sale” is now added to the collection.
“The Ottawa company sold 20,000 units in the first days that Doug Ford wore it during his public outings,” says Liam Mooney, president of “Jackpipe Dynamic Branding,” in an interview with the CTV network.
“Purchases work in dozens and thousands. There was even a request for 4,000,” he adds.
