VANCOUVER PARKS GOLF Preparing to play host to the Vancouver City Open
Vancouver, B.C., April 1, 2009 – The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation and Vancouver Parks Golf along with the Vancouver Golf Tour are pleased to announce a partnership to revitalize the Vancouver City Open. The tournament will be conducted September 13th – 15th, 2009 and feature a 54 hole stroke play competition to determine the Champion. All three Vancouver Parks Golf Courses, Fraserview, McCleery and Langara, will play host to one round of the Championship.
The Vancouver City Open is open to all Golf Professionals and Amateurs with an RCGA Handicap Factor of 18 or less. A full field of 220 competitors is expected to play and based on a sold out event the Professionals will play for a cash purse of $25,000 and the Amateurs will compete for a share of $25,000 in prizes. Day one kicks off with a Pro-Am featuring some of the best Professionals in the province playing with a foursome of Amateurs who only want to play in the Pro-Am portion of the event and have a Handicap Factor of 36 or less.
“We are extremely pleased to play host to an event of this calibre and showcase our Championship Golf Courses to the City of Vancouver”, stated Ron Caswell, Manager of Operations, Vancouver East District, “additionally our partnership with the Vancouver Golf Tour ensures a professionally run and highly competitive event on three fantastic golf courses.”
“We are excited to partner with the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation and have the opportunity to play at three unique but fantastic golf courses. They will be sure to add to the success of the Vancouver City Open”, said Fraser Mullholand, Commissioner of the Vancouver Golf Tour.
Day one’s Pro-Am will be held at Fraserview Golf Course with the non-Professional competitors playing at Langara Golf Course. On day two, the Professionals and Amateur competitors switch courses before a 36 hole cut is established for each category and flight.

Remembering Gordie Weber
I was fortunite to attend the Celebration of Life for Gordie Weber today. Truely a great man, not only in the world of golf, but for his work with Variety - The Children's Charity and curling events in Vancouver. Below is his obituary from today's Vancouver Sun.

Dad was born on August 26, 1924 in Carstairs, Alberta and moved to Vancouver in 1943. Then he got busy! Dad worked for Labatts for 38 years and was totally committed to promoting their products. He was involved with Variety Club Tent 47 raising funds through many events including co-chairing the CPGA Golf Championship.
He received the Variety Club Life Patron, Heart and Pioneer Awards and served as Chief Barker. Dad golfed with some of the best pros and amateurs alike, constantly raising money for Variety Club. He was a member of Marine Drive and Seymour Golf Clubs, BC Lions Football Club, Rotary, BC Left Handers Golf Assn., NW Commercial Travelers, BC Sports Hall of Fame, directed the World Cup Soccer Championship and Hyack Festivals. He was a commissioner of Little League Baseball, organized the Red Feather Campaign, Scouts, Junior B Hockey and was a founding member of the Masonic Lodge No. 172, Capilano Winter Club and Junior B Hockey in North Vancouver.

Nick Taylor Grabs Second Straight Collegiate Win
- Team Canada players and alumni shine throughout weekend -Oakville, Ont. (RCGA) –
Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., a member of Team Canada, won his second successive college championship title after a compelling come-from-behind win at the Hawaii-Hilo Invitational in Kohala Coast, Hawaii.
Taylor started the final round two strokes back, but fired a 2-under par 70 to win by a single-stroke over University of South Carolina’s Jamie Lovemark. Taylor’s solid finish got him to 6-under for the championship (69-71-70--210) and helped his Washington University Huskies to a second-place finish among the 17-team field.
The 21-year old former Canadian Men’s Amateur champion has continued his momentum from last season when he won the CordeValle Collegiate Tournament, finished second at the World Amateur Team Championship, earned entry into the U.S Open and finished tied for 53rd at the 2008 RBC Canadian Open.
Eugene Wong, Taylor’s 2009 Team Canada teammate, also placed well in Hawaii carding a (78-75-68--221) +5 as a member of the Oregon Ducks to finish tied for 24th individually.
Team Canada alumni also excelled in the professional ranks over the weekend as Bryan DeCorso of Guelph, Ont. tied for sixth at the Nationwide Tour’s season-opening Panama Digicel Championship. Nationwide Tour rookie Dustin Risdon of Strathmore, Alta., tied for 10th (2-under) at only his fifth career start on the developmental circuit. Fellow Canadian Brennan Webb of Bracebridge, Ont., shared 19th place at even par, while Jon Mills of Oshawa, Ont., finished tied for 23rd at 1-over.

Jun Earns Top Honors In Duramed LPGA FUTURES Tour Qualifier
LAKELAND, Fla., – LPGA Tour member Hannah Jun of San Diego, finished with a round of even-par 72 to win the Duramed FUTURES Tour’s four-day qualifier at Cleveland Heights Golf Course. She finished with a four-day score of 12-under-par 276.
Jun edged out amateur Pernilla Lindberg of Bollnas, Sweden, who finished one stroke back at 11-under-par 277. Amateur Victoria Kiser (69) of Orlando battled back from a five-shot deficit heading into today’s final round to claim third place at 10-under-par 278, just two shots off the lead.
Amateur Kira Meixner (70) of Richmond, British Columbia, tied with Molly Birmingham (72) of Cornelius, N.C. for fifth at 5-under-par 283.

The 94 players who made the 54-hole cut will receive exempt or non-exempt status for the 2009 Duramed FUTURES Tour season. The number of exempt players will be determined following the final stage of LPGA Qualifying School in early December.
Jun called it a “so-so” day with two birdies and two bogeys in her final round, but it was enough to claim her first tournament win since the Canadian PGA Women’s Championship in Mississauga, Ontario, in August. Jun and Lindberg headed into today’s round tied for the lead at 12-under-par 204 through 54 holes.
“I made a lot of pars today, but I just didn’t hit the ball close enough for birdies,” Jun said. “I didn’t really know how I was standing during the day, so it was easy to not think about it and just play my game.”
Jun is now armed with momentum heading into the final stage of LPGA Qualifying School in December. She tied for 25th last year at the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament to earn non-exempt status for the 2008 season.
“I learned I was a lot more patient as a player than I thought because I didn’t get off to a great start,” Jun said. “I felt like things could have gone really bad, but they didn’t.”
Lindberg finished out of sub-par red numbers for the first time this week, missing a 5-foot birdie putt on her final hole that would have tied her with Jun at the end of 72 holes. The Duramed FUTURES Tour does not play off a tie for medalist honors in the annual Q-School.
“I missed a lot of putts, but I was hitting it close all day,” said Lindberg, a senior at Oklahoma State University. “I knew I could have had a lower score today, but I had a great experience all week. It’s going to be a while before I play another tournament, but I feel really good about the way I played.”
Kiser gave a glimpse at how bright her future is, recording her fourth consecutive sub-par round. The 16-year-old Kiser politely declined to speculate on her future, but the four-time AJGA winner and 2008 Future Collegians World Tour Player of the Year proved she could spend time and stay at the top of the leaderboard in this week’s qualifier.
“Some of my best rounds begin with a bogey,” Kiser said. “I had to get over some early adrenaline, but I really enjoyed the week.
The low round of the day at The Heights went to 2008 Tour member Perry Swenson (67) of Charlotte, N.C. The former collegian at the University of Texas had fellow Tour member Meghan Little of Sturgis, S.D., on the bag as her caddie for the final round. Swenson’s round moved her up the leaderboard into a tie for 29th after she made the 54-hole cut by one stroke.
“We were able to get some good reads on the green and agreed with most of the slopes,” said Swenson, whose lone bogey was a three-putt green on No. 17. “That led to a more confident putting stroke and one of my better putting days.”
Meixner quietly maintained her status in the top 10 during the week, ending today’s round with a 2-under-par 70 to climb into a fifth-place tie. A member of the Canadian National Team, Meixner graduated from Kent State University in May, where she was a four-year starter. The Tour’s qualifier had been in Meixner’s plans for some time, but the Canadian wanted to finish college before attempting to earn status.
“I think it showed that my iron play was really good this week,” Meixner said. “I have high expectations, but I tried not to put pressure on myself. I thought I stayed calm and level all week and I’m very happy with how I finished today.”
The Duramed FUTURES Tour’s 2009 season begins March 20-22, in Winter Haven, Fla., at the inaugural Florida’s Natural Growers Charity Classic.

Meixner quietly maintained her status in the top 10 during the week, ending today’s round with a 2-under-par 70 to climb into a fifth-place tie. A member of the Canadian National Team, Meixner graduated from Kent State University in May, where she was a four-year starter. The Tour’s qualifier had been in Meixner’s plans for some time, but the Canadian wanted to finish college before attempting to earn status.
“I think it showed that my iron play was really good this week,” Meixner said. “I have high expectations, but I tried not to put pressure on myself. I thought I stayed calm and level all week and I’m very happy with how I finished today.”
The Duramed FUTURES Tour’s 2009 season begins March 20-22, in Winter Haven, Fla., at the inaugural Florida’s Natural Growers Charity Classic.
