Glencoe Invitational adds Women’s event and new presenting sponsor
Alberta Golf (Calgary) – The Glencoe Golf and Country Club has announced two big additions to its top invitational event for their anniversary year. The Glencoe has partnered with DCBank as the presenting sponsor for the 25th edition of its Glencoe DCBank Invitational, June 15-20, 2020. As part of its commitment to grow the event, the top invitational golf tournament will host North America’s best current and aspiring female amateur and professionals along with male amateur golfers from across North America for the first time ever in June. DCBank President and CEO Jeffrey J. Smith said he’s excited to help create a platform for both men and women to pursue their dreams.
“We are excited to be able to continue the success of the tournament creating an integrated platform with women and men,” Smith said. “This tournament’s leadership team has shown real innovation and foresight through the creation of a platform that truly represents the game of golf.”
The 2020 tournament will be designed for both women and men to play the famed Glencoe Forest course at the same time in alternating groups for 54 holes with no cut. The tournament will include a maximum of 50 players in the men’s event and 30 players in the first year of the women’s event – comprised of 20 professional and 10 amateurs. The plan is to build to 50 men and 50 women within the next three years.
The men’s amateurs will be competing for the top-three titles, the women amateurs will be competing for the title of “Champion” and “Runner-Up” and the female professionals will battle for a $25,000 purse that will be distributed amongst the top-four finishers. The winner will receive $15,000 for first, while $6,000 will be presented to the runner-up. Tournament Director Dale Goehring said the event will be a first of its kind in North America.
“As we look to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the tournament, the time is right to welcome female divisions to the Glencoe DCBank Invitational,” Goehring said. “This fills a void in women’s golf for elite amateurs and professionals. All the foundational elements were in place to build upon the success of this tournament and create a first of its kind in North America. Having DCBank, an outstanding and experienced sponsor in the game of golf, agree to support us as the presenting sponsor, as well as the partnerships we have with Golf Canada, Alberta Golf and ATB, provides us the strength to build the Glencoe Invitational into one of best golf tournaments on the continent.”
The Glencoe Golf & Country Club will provide a challenging test for both women and men according to Ash Chadha, General Manager of Glencoe Golf & Country Club.
“On behalf of the members and staff of The Glencoe Golf & Country Club, we are very supportive about adding the new female divisions,” Chadha said “The Forest course will be a great test for both men and women in the new integrated event. We are very excited to host this unique annual event which will help grow the game.”

“There’s a lot of the same 10 or 15 girls that you see at every tournament so you get so close,” Baustad said. “At Alberta Golf tournaments you’re not playing against your friends you’re playing against yourself and the integrity of everyone at Alberta Golf has is just amazing and they’ve given me life long friends.”

Baustad is one of the high performance players who is thrilled to get funding from Alberta Golf.
“With how expensive the game is, travelling, equipment, coaching, it has helped so much,” Baustad admitted.”The funding has provided me with so many other opportunities.”
Speaking of coaches, MacKenzie has worked with Luke Workman for the past 3 seasons.
“He’s just been amazing,” Baustad said. “He makes me want to become a player, nothing is ever boring.”

Baustad has a number of opportunities to play NCAA golf next fall and hopes to make her decision soon. Until then she’ll continue to live her teenage life.

High Performance Player Profile: Stephanie Chelack
Alberta Golf (Calgary) – Over the winter we will be doing player profiles on our high performance athletes. This week’s profile is on Stephanie Chelack of Calgary.
Stephanie Chelack grew up in Calgary watching her older brother Andrew compete at a high level and from a young age was around the sport of golf.
“My brother started playing competitively when I was 5 or 6,” Chelack said. “I would follow him around to practice and drag my little plastic clubs, hang around the golf course with him and my dad so I grew up playing it with my family.”
At the age of 10 Stephanie starting taking the game more seriously at the Inglewood Golf & Curling Club and took an interest in competitive golf. To this day she still loves how unique the sport is.
“You’re playing the golf course you’re not really playing the field, it’s you playing you,” Chelack admitted. “You’re trying to improve against yourself all the time which I think is really cool. And not something you can get with any other sport.”
VIDEO: Stephanie Chelack in her own words:
Growing up the sport has taken her across the U.S. and around the world as far away as Australia. The grade-12 student at Central Memorial High School says she’s always wanted to play college golf.
“You see everyone competing older than you going away to college,” Chelack said. “You’re like wow that seems kind of cool”
And that dream will become reality in the fall of 2020 when she starts as a freshman on the golf team at Eastern Washington University, where Calgary Stampeder Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell excelled at college football.
“It’s really exciting to be able to achieve that dream,” Chelack beamed. “Going to Eastern Washington, I’m super excitied.”
It’s also something her coach Jeff MacGregor and all the staff at the Inglewood Golf and Curling Club are very proud of.
It’s a very special day for Inglewood’s Stephanie Chelack. Congrats on signing with Eastern Washington! I’ve watched you put in the work and it’s only the start of big things! The grades are there and so is the game! 🙂 #happycoach #div1golf #Ladiesgolf #yycgolf pic.twitter.com/OMo2gcNR3c

Chelack says playing in Alberta Golf events growing up and receiving high performance funding has been very valuable.
“I’ve been on the Ryder Cup team against Montana, that was super fun,” Chelack said. “Driving down with the team on the bus to Montana and playing a different style of golf was really cool and Alberta Golf has always run fantastic tournaments.”
The 17-year-old is working hard on the simulator at Inglewood and is excited for the new adventures 2020 are sure to bring.
Shaw Charity Classic raises over $14 Million for charity in 2019
Alberta Golf (Calgary) – The award-winning Shaw Charity Classic saw the 2019 edition raise a record amount for youth-based charities across Alberta. At an event Monday morning at Shaw head offices in Calgary, a staggering total of just over $14 Million was announced to benefit 200 youth-based charities. That brings the total amount raised for charity by the PGA TOUR Champions event to $48 Million since it’s first year at the Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club back in 2013. Shaw Communications CEO Brad Shaw says raising this amount of money for charity is a team effort.
“The Shaw Charity Classic has become a powerful example of what can be accomplished when family, charity, and community rally together for a common cause,” Shaw said. “Over the past seven years, we have seen the Calgary community support this tournament in ways we never could have imagined, and we are exceptionally grateful for their continued enthusiasm and generosity as we continue to grow the Shaw Charity Classic to help more kids and their families.”

Jim Riddell took over as Tournament Chairman last fall and is helping to build on his late father Clay’s legacy.
“It’s an absolute thrill for me to look back on another record-setting year and realize this spectacular tournament continues to have a tremendous impact on our youth, which was the core goal in bringing the event to Calgary,” Riddell said. “I firmly believe it takes an entire community to build a successful international event of this magnitude, so this accomplishment should be celebrated by everyone – from the more than 1,400 volunteers, to our generous corporate community, friends in the media, and all of the great citizens of this amazing city who came down to Canyon Meadows this summer.”
AltaLink President & CEO Scott Thon says the generosity of Albertans is overwhelming.
“In the five years since we helped launch the Shaw Birdies for Kids Presented by AltaLink program, we have been overwhelmed by the generosity of Albertans in supporting hundreds of children’s charities throughout our province,” Thon said. “The incredible growth of Birdies for Kids means that more kids are getting the assistance they need for a bright future. We know that supporting kids today leads to a great community and province tomorrow.”
Six World Golf Hall of Fame members competed in the 2019 edition of the event including Bernhard Langer, Davis Love III, Retief Goosen, Colin Montgomerie, Mark O’Meara and Vijay Singh. Wes Short Jr. fended off two-time defending champion, Scott McCarron to take the title.
Shaw Communications announced their involvement in the tournament in Calgary through 2022 with the 2020 event slated for Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club, August 24-30.
High Performance Player Profile: Nicolas-Guy Landry
Alberta Golf (Calgary) – Over the winter we will be doing player profiles on our high performance athletes. This week’s profile is on Nicolas-Guy Landry of Calgary.
Nicolas-Guy Landry is a grade 12 student at Springbank Community High School and is part of the Global Sport Academy run by Terry Carter and coached by Darryl James and Riley Fleming.
Landry was born in the European country of Luxembourg and started golfing shortly after he started walking.
“I started when I was 18 months old,” Landry admitted. “My two older brothers played, so did my parents and my Grandma. My brother turned pro over in Germany earlier this year, I was born into the sport I love and I still love it today.”
After moving to St. Louis and Quebec, Landry and his Canadian parents settled in Calgary in 2018 and he’s enjoyed playing golf out of his home course Country Hills Golf Club and being part of the Global Sport Academy at Springbank High School.
“I have been able to find a balance between my school life and my golf life and my social life.” Landry said. “I go to the indoor domes during the week to make sure my swing doesn’t get super rusty during the offseason but as well make time for myself and hang out with friends and I have been able to find a way to deal with all of that stress.”
The 17-year-old has enjoyed playing golf in Alberta and is very appreciative of the scholarship grant he received from Alberta Golf.
“It’s been an awesome journey so far,” Landry said. “The scholarship grant is really great, it allows me to play the sport that I love with more ease and it’s really motivating.”
Landry is looking forward to a full season of competition and is in no rush after High School graduation to leave Alberta.
“I’m probably going to take a gap year next year and make sure I’m not rushed into making any decisions that I will regret later on in life,” Landry admitted. “You don’t have to be a Matthew Wolff coming straight onto the scene winning golf tournaments, you can be older which relieves the pressure a bit knowing that I don’t have to be shooting 62 every day at 17 or 18 years old, there’s plenty of time for that.”
Landry points to his strong mental game as a huge strength and is working hard to tighten up one aspect of his game.
“If I had one thing that I would love to correct it’s my putting because if you’re making putts man are you ever good at golf.”

High Performance Player Profile: Ethan Choi
Alberta Golf (Calgary) – Over the winter we will be doing player profiles on our high performance athletes. To kick things off let’s hear from Pincher Creek’s Ethan Choi.
Ethan is a 17-year-old in grade 12 at St. Michael’s School in Pincher Creek and plays out of the Pincher Creek Golf Club. His father Sheldon got him into the game from as young as he can remember.
“Was a very young age, since I started to walk,” Choi said. “He was a big golfer back then and absolutely loved the game and he thought it would be a great game for me to play and tag along with him.”
Choi really started to make strides when he was 12-years-old.
“I went to the U.S. Kids World Championship down in Pinehurst,” Choi said. “I was actually in contention for a couple of days and there were some big named guys there and that’s when I realized I really want to do this.”
A couple years after that when he was 14 he shot an eye popping 59 during the Alberta Bantam Championship at River’s Edge Golf Club in Okotoks.
“It’s been crazy,” Choi admitted. “Even after 3 years I still get questions about it. Going forward I know if I have the ability to do that then anything is possible as long as you put in the work and believe.”
Choi recently signed his letter of intent to play U.S. Division 1 golf at NC State starting in the fall of 2020. Fellow Albertan and friend Carter Graf started on the team this fall.
“I’m blessed to play Division 1 golf down in the States, it’s been a dream of mine since I was in middle school,” Choi beamed after he recently returned from a trip to check out the campus of the NC State Wolfpack in North Carolina.
This fall Ethan is focusing on his grade 12 studies at high school in Pincher Creek where he also plays on the St. Michael’s School volleyball team that compete’s this weekend at provincials. As for golf he says his tee, iron and wedge game are very strong and he’s working hard to tighten up his short game.
Growing up away from the big city in Pincher Creek had it’s challenges but he says it’s been an amazing experience.
“It was tough because we were kinda isolated from the big city but Pincher Creek has meant so much to me, the people there have created such a good environment for me to practice in and grow as a player and as a person and I can’t thank them enough,” Choi said.
Keep an eye out for Ethan Choi at Alberta Golf events in 2020 as he prepares for the next exciting phase in his golf career.
