SEATTLE, WA (September 26, 2024) — Shelly Stouffer found herself in an unfamiliar position in the final of the 62nd U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship at Broadmoor Golf Club.

After playing with the lead all week, Stouffer was forced to play catch-up for most of her match with Australian Nadene Gole.

Stouffer had emerged earlier in the week as the stroke-play medalist and then played like the No. 1 seed as she breezed through her first five matches. The Nanoose Bay resident seemed to have momentum on her side heading into the final, but simply could not find any of it in the final before losing 3&2.

In these waning days of summer, Jim Shaw really enjoyed his final day at the Beach. Make that Beach Grove Golf Club. Shaw played a near-perfect round of golf, a bogey-free two-under 69, to win the Pacific Northwest Golf Association’s Super Senior Men’s Championship at the Tsawwassen layout.

“Two birdies and 16 pars,” Shaw said proudly of his closing round in the 54-hole championship for players aged 65 and over. The Sooke resident, a longtime member of Mission Golf Club, was proud of the way he battled down the stretch to secure his two-shot win over Michael Johnson of Sammamish, Wash. Shaw finished his round with 12 straight pars.

(September 22, 2024) - Successful teams from the BDO National Golf League (NGL) Provincial Championships in B.C. have been established. The BDO National Golf League regular season is a net Stableford points competition culminating in Provincial Championships to identify who will play in the National Finals.

For more information on the concept and how the NGL works, click HERE.

Provincial finals were held last week at Cordova Bay GC in Victoria (B.C. West) and at Tobiano GC (B.C. East) to determine who would receive an exclusive merchandise prize pack and an all-expenses-paid trip to play in the BDO National Golf League Championship, taking place at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley right before the 2025 RBC Canadian Open.

There, 52 two-player teams will go head-to-head over 18 holes in a best-ball net Stableford format to seize glory on the national stage.
