In its 97th year, the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge (JPL) Golf Course hosted the Club Championships on Aug. 13 and 14.
Fifty-four members played in the two-day contest that would determine which ladies, seniors, juniors and men would take home bragging rights in 2022.
The weather couldn鈥檛 have been finer and the conditions of the world-famous, Stanley Thompson-designed course were spectacular as usual.
鈥淲hat a great weekend we had for the 2022 JPL Golf Club 鈥� Club Championships,鈥� said Troy Mills, head golf professional at Fairmont JPL.
鈥淲e had some fantastic weather, some amazing course conditions thanks to Rob Barr, Glenn Griffis and their entire Golf Course team, coupled with a great turnout by our members that resulted in some incredible competition both days.鈥澛�
From the meticulously-groomed greens, perfectly aligned with some of Jasper鈥檚 most recognized peaks, to the numerous bunkers strategically placed among the 18 fairways, it is obvious with every turn of the head and swing of a club why JPL鈥檚 golf course was once again ranked number three in Canada by SCOREGolf magazine.
While not everyone came out a winner, and there were moments when 鈥済olf鈥� was not the only four-letter word uttered on the course, an incredible weekend was had by all who were lucky enough to take part.
鈥淥n behalf of Tahlon Sweenie our Director of Golf, and the entire Professional Staff here at Canada鈥檚 #1 Golf Resort, a BIG THANK YOU goes out to all the participants for playing in this year鈥檚 event, along with Brenda Dew, Lee Chorley, Ashley & Travis Chorley, Heather Legacy, Karen Kovich, Spike Baker, Jamie Black, Dave Kjorven, Ali Mason & Terry-Lee Parr for all their efforts in the organization of this year鈥檚 event,鈥� Mills said.聽
