This week, Golf Ontario is proud to celebrate National Volunteer Week 2025 and its theme: Volunteers Make Waves. The theme highlights the incredible impact of volunteer efforts across Canada—just like a wave, volunteering is a powerful force for change.
At Golf Ontario, we know that our success simply wouldn’t be possible without the dedication, passion, and professionalism of our volunteers. From supporting our Championships and Qualifiers to ensuring Ontario’s courses are accurately rated, your contributions make a lasting impact on golfers and communities across the province.
This past season, volunteers stepped up in many important roles:
- Tournament Officials helped manage more than 100 qualifiers and championships, overseeing everything from registration to scoring and pace of play.
- Referees—who complete Golf Canada’s Level 2 rules education—brought their deep knowledge of the Rules of Golf to ensure fair competition.
- Course Raters visited up to 70 courses annually, helping maintain accurate course ratings across Ontario through both classroom and on-course training.
As we head into another exciting golf season, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for everything you do. Your commitment, energy, and love for the game help us continue to Shape Lives Through Golf. One volunteer can make a difference—but together, you create a wave of positive change.
Thank you for making waves with us!
