Each week we write to Golf Canada members who record a hole-in-one, congratulating them and asking if they’d tell us how it happened. These are their stories (edited for length and clarity).

Have you recently accomplished the feat of a hole-in-one? Tell us about it! Share your story, picture / video and course information with us at holeinone@golfcanada.ca.

Xavié Wing, Idylwylde Golf & Country Club, Hole #7

My 9 year old son, Xavié Wing, recently got a hole-in-one on hole #7 at the Idylwylde Golf & Country Club during his first day of the two-day championship tournament, part of the Northeastern Junior Golf Tour. He then went on to win the event and this victory secured his first place in the order of merit of the Northeastern Junior Golf Tour for the U10 division.

Monique Saindon-Syring, Pheasant Glen Golf Resort, Hole #8

I made my hole-in-one from 100 yards using a gap wedge.

Andrew Hargreaves, Ledgeview Golf & Country Club, Hole #17

My hole-in-one on hole 17 at Ledgeview was 125 yards. I hit a little baby draw with my gap wedge a little long and it spun back and went down. I was playing with my brother and my dad. Nick Taylor was playing a few holes behind us with a mutual friend of ours, he invited us over for a few minutes to sign my flag and take a picture.

Laurel Scott, Storey Creek Golf Club, Hole #3

It was alot of a fun! My hole-in-one was 158 yards. I used a 3 wood.

Todd Millar, Bearspaw Golf Club, Hole #2

There are golf shots you remember and then there are golf shots you’ll tell for the rest of your life.

I stood on the tee of hole #2 facing a 190-yard par 3 with a stiff wind directly in our faces. The pin was marked by a red flag and I reached for my 5-wood.

Playing alongside my friends Riekert Panther, Riki Panther and David Whiteley, I teed up my personalized Titleist Pro V1x #56, stamped with my “AMOR FATI” motto and my signature dice logo. I took one last look at the flag, committed to the shot and made what felt like a perfect swing.

The ball launched on a strong, penetrating flight, holding its line beautifully against the wind. It landed just short of the pin, took one perfect bounce and disappeared.

For a split second, none of us knew exactly what had happened.

Then we realized the ball was gone.

It had dropped straight into the cup.

All four of us erupted with excitement. There was shouting, cheering, high-fives, laughter and complete disbelief. It was one of those unforgettable moments that every golfer dreams about and very few ever experience.

A 190-yard hole-in-one, into the wind, with a 5-wood, at Bearspaw Golf Club.

To make the moment even more special, it was accomplished with my personalized Titleist Pro V1x—a ball marked with “AMOR FATI,” a reminder to embrace whatever life brings and my dice logo, representing the willingness to take calculated risks. Somehow, on this day, everything came together perfectly.

It’s a shot I’ll never forget, shared with three great friends who witnessed every second of it.

FREDERICTON, N.B. – After surviving a devastating injury during training, Canadian Armed Forces veteran Michael Feyko found a source of recovery through golf. Turning gratitude into action, he has channelled his passion for the sport to support others and strengthen the community of golf that helped him rebuild his life.

That community touches this week’s PGA TOUR Americas stop, the Explore New Brunswick Open, and its official charity partner, Soldier On, a program of the Canadian Armed Forces Transition Group (CAFTG) which contributes to the recovery of ill and injured CAF members and veterans by providing opportunities and resources through sport, recreation and creative activities.

Net proceeds from this week’s Explore New Brunswick Open support Soldier On, including a Pro-Am that includes two sponsors, one injured soldier and PGA TOUR Americas pro in each group. Twenty-four soldiers enjoy the Pro-Am golf experience which raises thirty to forty thousand dollars to Soldier On.

The Southern Ont., native didn’t grow up around golf, only turning to the sport later in life as an outlet for rehabilitation.

“I played golf the odd time once or twice, if you know what I mean, but nothing to crazy,” said Feyko, who was born in Windsor and raised in nearby Kingsville, Ont. “I played hockey, soccer, and stuff, but it wasn’t until after I got hurt that I just kind of picked up golf as a way of just kind of rehabbing. And then from there ended up where I’m at.”

His interest in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) was sparked in high school, working part time at a marina with an interest in search and rescue.

“I was in Parry Sound, Ont. working at a marina, and I was just chatting with the coast guard and search and rescue guys, they were saying the military was taking over,” said Feyko. “This was back in 1986 or 87, and then I decided to join the military, and the quickest way was to go though the Sudbury recruiting office. I went to the infantry, that was the quickest way in, knowing that one day I’d like to go into search and rescue.”

With the Canadian Armed Forces, Feyko was in the airborne regiment as a free fall parachutist and sniper. There is only a handful of Canadians who have been given the opportunity to complete the U.S. Army Ranger course and Feyko is one of them.

“I was in the attached pathfinder platoon, and I was a U.S. Army Ranger and a sniper. I did the U.S. Army Rangers course in 1997, and I did my sniper course in 1993.”

During Feyko’s time in the military, he was first in Calgary then in Petawawa and Edmonton for three postings. In 1991, he was in Cyprus supporting the United Nations and from 1992-1993, he was deployed in Somalia as part of the Canadian Airborne Regiment.

He became part of the Skyhawks parachute demonstration team in 1996 and took the U.S. Army Rangers course in 1997, gearing towards a career in search and rescue.

“They were going to send me to Trenton to do a jumpmaster parachute and instructor course to get more qualifications, but I was not current on the static line because I’d been doing just military free fall. To go, I had to be current static line which is basically if you haven’t jumped for a while, you have to do a refresher to become current,” said Feyko.

“We were doing the jumps on Friday, and I was scheduled to leave on the Sunday to Trenton to do these courses, so I needed to jump. We did a no equipment jump in the afternoon on Friday, then we did the nighttime full equipment jump and that was when another guy came on the airplane with lines twisted. Younger guy, less experienced has some line twists, he didn’t get out of his line twist, he hit me. Collided with me, my parachute collapsed and never reinflated before I hit the ground.”

Doctors suggested that he fell 75 feet to the ground, nearly nine stories. It was November 21 in Edmonton. The ground was frozen and the fall was equivalent to landing in a parking lot.

“They didn’t know how long it would take for me to walk again or how I would recover from the injuries. It was nine bones from my waist down, right foot, pelvis, back, and left leg,” said Feyko. “I was in the rehab hospital for three months in a wheelchair, they said it would maybe be eight to nine months, but I was 27 years old and in good shape as well as determined. So, I got up and was on crutches and haven’t sat in a wheelchair since. After three months I was able to go home.”

As he considered his life beyond the military, a path began to form through education.

“Obviously after my injury I couldn’t pursue my dream of search and rescue, but the military was going to pay for schooling, so I had to decide what I wanted to do. I was not exactly sure, but I thought maybe I would purse something in golf because I played a lot with friends on the weekend while in the military,” added Feyko. “At the time Grant McEwan College in Edmonton had two golf programs, there was a program for general managers and golf operations, and then they had the PGA of Canada side of it. I applied for that and the military paid for it.”

“Then I got a membership at a course in Edmonton, and I was playing a lot with the course pro at the time. His name was Ross Kenny and I just kind of told him my story, I was on crutches at the time and would just go out, hit the ball then get back in the cart. I was playing a lot and Kenny told me to not bother with the golf operations side and to pursue the PGA of Canada route. He mentored me along and we played a lot together, that was my rehab just going outside and playing golf everyday, either playing rounds or just hitting the range.”

In 2001, he played at Cambridge Golf and Country Club and became a member of the PGA of Canada, working at various golf courses in Ontario but left the sport temporarily to deal with more surgeries from injury. His brother, also a member of the CAF, brought him back to golf and introduced him to the Soldier On program.

“My brother was injured while deployed in Afghanistan as well, and at the time he was the senior manager for a program called Soldier On and he asked me to get back into golf again,” said Feyko. “He asked if I wanted to help with the Soldier On golf program, so, I reinstated with the PGA of Canada and built the golf program to what it is now.”

Before he began working with the group, the Soldier On golf program had a tournament fundraiser at Beacon Hall Golf Club near Toronto and ran a small camp in front of it. Feyko helped grow the initiative, with expansion to three national golf camps, one in Victoria, one in Toronto, and one in Fredericton, which evolved from a Soldier On fundraising event in Moncton, N.B. into what is now a core component of the Explore New Brunswick Open.

“I don’t work directly for Soldier On, everything I’ve done with the program has been volunteered on my own time. I help them out as a PGA of Canada Professional and as an injured veteran,” said Feyko. “I basically volunteered my time to build the program that they have now. We partnered with the PGA TOUR Americas and now have two PGA TOUR Americas events that support Soldier On, the Explore New Brunswick Open and then the following week’s Commissionaires Ottawa Open.”

The 2026 Explore New Brunswick Open runs July 6-12, 2026, at the Mactaquac Golf Course in Fredericton, N.B. and the Commissionaires Ottawa Open runs July 13-19 at The Marshes Golf Club in Ottawa.

Once a source of healing through his darkest days, golf has become Feyko’s outlet to create brighter days for others who traveled a similar path.

No two golfers mark their golf ball the same, which helps them stay easily identifiable during play. Whether its practical, lucky or purely creative, every golfer has a signature style.

In this video, Team Canada athletes share the unique markings they apply to their golf ball so they know it’s theirs. From simple dots to strategic lines, they offer a glimpse into their personality and on-course routine.

It’s the one piece of equipment you use on every single shot. How do you mark your golf ball? Join the conversation on Instagram.

With school wrapped up and summer schedules shaping up, there’s no better time for young golfers to get out on the course. Whether it’s a morning round with friends, a family golf day or an evening tee time under the summer sun, Golf Canada’s Youth on Course program is helping make more golf possible for young players across the country.  

Included with every Golf Canada membership, Youth on Course gives golfers aged 6–18 access to rounds for $5 or less at participating facilities during designated tee times. It’s a simple idea with a big impact: make golf more affordable and accessible so more young people can experience everything the game has to offer.  

Summer is when many lifelong golf memories are made. From playing a first 18 holes to building skills and confidence, the season provides countless opportunities for junior golfers to get on the course. Through Youth on Course, members can access a growing network of more than 88 participating courses across Canada, making it easier than ever to play close to home or while travelling. Members also have access to more than 2,100 participating courses across the United States and Australia, creating even more opportunities for golf-loving families this summer. 

More than just affordable rounds, Youth on Course introduces young Canadians to the lifelong benefits of golf, from developing social skills and building confidence to staying active and creating meaningful connections beyond the fairways. 

The program continues to expand thanks to the support of participating facilities, donors, and fundraising efforts such as the 100 Hole Hike, which helps provide subsidized rounds for junior golfers nationwide. These combined efforts are ensuring that the next generation has greater access to the game than ever before.  

As golfers of all ages make plans for another memorable summer, Youth on Course is helping young players spend less time on the sidelines and more time doing what they love—playing golf.

Canadian Drew Nesbitt captured the biggest victory of his career Sunday, closing with a 5-under 66 to win the Memorial Health Championship presented by LRS for his first Korn Ferry Tour title.

The 31-year-old from Horseshoe Valley, Ont., finished at 26 under par after opening the tournament with a course record-tying 11-under 60 at Panther Creek Country Club in Springfield, Ill. He carried a one-shot lead into the final round after a third-round 65 and held off the field to secure the win.

“I can’t even describe it, just unbelievable,” Nesbitt said. “A loss for words. Really, really happy.”

Despite leading for much of the week, Nesbitt said he focused on execution rather than the leaderboard.

“I just managed my game really well,” he said. “You don’t have to do as much as you think, but you’ve got to go out there and execute and do the right things.”

The victory comes after Nesbitt missed three cuts in his previous four starts, though he maintained confidence in his game.

“I haven’t played bad golf, I haven’t scored well,” he said. “I know I can win. I know the quality of my good golf and I just believed in it.”

The breakthrough victory continues an impressive rise for the Canadian, who earned Korn Ferry Tour status after a late-season win on PGA TOUR Americas in 2025. This week’s triumph marks another significant milestone as he converts a career-best performance into his first victory on the PGA TOUR’s primary development circuit. He rises to 22nd in the season-long points race.

“I’m just really proud of myself,” Nesbitt said. “It’s pretty special to be able to say I’m a Korn Ferry Tour winner. No one can take it away from you.”

CHASKA, Minn. – Brooke Henderson recorded her best finish of the 2026 LPGA Tour season on Sunday, tying for third at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship as South Korea’s Haeran Ryu captured her first major championship.

Henderson closed with an even-par 72 at Hazeltine National Golf Club to finish at 10-under 278, three shots behind Ryu and one back of runner-up Ina Yoon.

The tie for third marks Henderson’s second top-10 finish of the season and her first in six months. It also came on the 10th anniversary of the Smiths Falls, Ont., native claiming her first major title at the 2016 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Henderson opened the week with rounds of 69, 68 and 69 before posting an even-par final round. It marked the first time this season she opened a tournament with three consecutive rounds in the 60s while extending one of the LPGA Tour’s longest active streaks of making the cut at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Ryu completed a remarkable comeback after opening the championship with a one-over 73 that left her 10 shots off the lead. The 25-year-old recovered from three bogeys over her first five holes on Sunday before playing the remainder of the round bogey-free, closing with a 2-under 70 to finish at 13 under and secure a two-shot victory. It was the first major championship of Ryu’s career and made her the first player in 60 years to overcome a double-digit first-round deficit to win a major championship.

Yoon, who opened the tournament with a championship-record 9-under 63, birdied the final hole to finish alone in second at 11 under for her fifth top-10 finish of the season.

World No. 1 Nelly Korda finished in a four-way tie for eighth at 6 under, falling short in her bid to become just the third player to win the season’s first three LPGA Tour major championships.

See Henderson compete at the 2026 CPKC Women’s Open in Edmonton, August 19-23 at Royal Mayfair Golf Club. Tickets are available at www.cpkcwomensopen.com/tickets.

TOYOTA, AICHI, Japan – Team Canada NextGen athletes finished strongly, with the Boys team finishing T2 and the Girls team seventh at the 2026 Toyota Junior Golf World Cup in Toyota, Aichi, Japan on Friday.

Team Canada NextGen Boys finished tied at 22-under with Japan and the United States (U.S.) but the team title was awarded to Japan on tiebreaker, with the sum of non-counting scores over the four rounds being the deciding factor. As a result, Canada finished tied for second with the U.S. with Thailand close behind in fourth at 21-under.

The Boys team was represented by Austin Krahn of Christina Lake, B.C., Eddie Gu of Aurora, Ont. and Alexis Rouleau of Montreal, Que. Individually, Krahn finished T3 at 11-under, firing all four rounds under par, 69-66-69-69-273 to finish three shots back of the individual winner, Tomas Restrepo of Colombia at 14-under. Rouleau finished T5 at 10-under with all four of his rounds also coming under par (68-66-70-70), while Gu finished 19th at even with rounds of 68-72-71-73.

The Girls team finished the tournament in seventh at 4-under. The Girls team was represented by Eileen Park of Red Deer, Alta., Jodie Han of Vancouver, B.C., and Nobelle Park of Oakville, Ont. Eileen Park was the low Canadian finishing in ninth at 2-under (70-72-71-73), Han finished T11 at even (70-71-73-74) and Nobelle Park finished 22nd at 8-over (74-70-77-75). South Korea won the Girls team competition at 31-under, followed by Thailand and Japan in a tie for second at 25-under. Anna Iwanaga of Japan won the Girls individual competition, finishing at 18-under, two shots clear of Seojin Park of South Korea.

The 2026 Toyota Junior Golf World Cup was played on the Chukyo Golf Club, Ishino Course in Toyota, Aichi, Japan from June 23-26. The course played to a Par 71 for the boys and 72 for the girls competing. Many top PGA and LPGA Tour professionals have competed in the Toyota Junior World Cup of Golf since the tournament began in 1992, with the women’s competition being added in 2014.

Canada won gold in the Boys competition in 2022 and were represented by Félix Bouchard (Otterburn Park, Que.), Ethan Wilson (St. Albert, Alta.), Cooper Humphreys (Vernon, B.C.) and Eric Zhao (North York, Ont.). The Girls team also found success that same year, earning the bronze medal and were represented by Nicole Gal (Oakville, Ont.), Michelle Liu (Vancouver, B.C.) and Yeji Kwon (Port Coquitlam, B.C.). In addition, Canada has won two individual gold medals in tournament history with Rob McMillan (1994) and Corey Conners (2009).

LACHUTE, Que.—The road to the 2026 Canadian junior championships continues with the NextGen Quebec Championship set June 29 – July 1 at Lachute Club de golf in Lachute, Quebec.

The 54-hole stroke play competition gets underway with a practice round on Sunday, June 28, and championship rounds beginning on Monday, June 29. After 36 holes, the field will be cut to the top 45 Junior Boys and 24 Junior Girls, including ties. For the final round which wraps up on Wednesday, July 1.

The top eight players in the Junior Boys division of the NextGen Quebec Championship will earn exemptions into the 2026 Canadian Junior Boys Championship, August 10-14, at Wascana Country Club in Regina, Saskatchewan. The top eight players (including ties) in the Junior Girls division of the NextGen Quebec Championship will earn exemptions into the 2026 Canadian Junior Girls Championship, August 10-14, at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (Heathlands Course) in Caledon, Ontario.

The top three players (including ties) per division in the 2026 NextGen Quebec Championship will earn exemptions into the 2026 Canadian U15 Championship, August 24-27, at Loyalist Country Club in Bath, Ontario, if age eligible.

The Thompson Course at Lachute is one of the few Thompson Courses still in operation in the Province of Quebec. It is considered one of the most improved courses in Quebec over the past ten years or so. Over the past decade, a methodical restoration project has been underway. Changes include tree cutting, altering the mowing lines of fairways, expansion of short grass areas and especially approaches into the green. It is a golf course which is quite exciting to play with its 6 par 5s, 6 par 4s and 6 par 3s. This makes for an excellent tournament environment, where many tournaments are decided on the last three holes. The tournament marks the second consecutive year that Lachute Club de golf has hosted a Golf Canada championship, following the 2025 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship last August.

“The Thompson course is in great shape to start the season. I think that the juniors competing in this year’s event will enjoy the course routing and the 6 par 5’s on the Thompson Course,” said Bill Dandy, Club Captain, Lachute Club de golf. “We are always happy to host amateur events. This year is no different as members have already signed up to be volunteers and are looking forward to supporting all the juniors from around the country!”
