North York, ON – Andrew Dagneau and Derek Dalziel produced a winning performance to capture the trophy, carding a six-under-par 66.

After three playoff holes, Dagneau and Dalziel emerged victorious to secure the title.

Three teams shared third place after posting matching rounds of four-under-par 68. Charlie Burke (Innerkip Highlands Golf Club) and Cam Burke (Golf Ontario Players Club – Waterloo) finished tied alongside Marshall Eidinger and Paul Sobottka of Credit Valley Golf & Country Club, as well as Brendan Dunphy and Matt Billington of Whitevale Golf Club. The trio of teams turned in strong performances, finishing just two shots off the championship-winning score.

The Ontario Men’s Four-Ball Championship returns to Oakdale Golf & Country Club in North York on Monday, October 5 with a 10am shotgun start where 112 players forming 56 teams will compete for one of the province’s most prestigious amateur titles in an 18-hole four-ball competition.

Over the years, the championship has featured Hall of Fame champions including Mike Weir, Gary Cowan, Warren Sye, Kelly Roberts, Bill Morland and Phil Farley.

Celebrating a Centennial Season

As Oakdale celebrates its 100th anniversary, hosting the Ontario Men’s Four-Ball Championship adds another chapter to the club’s long history of championship golf.

“Oakdale is extremely proud to host the 67th Ontario Men’s Four-Ball Championship, particularly during such a special year for the Club as we celebrate our Centennial,” said Alex Arychu, Director of Golf at Oakdale Golf & Country Club. “Championship golf has always been an important part of Oakdale’s history, and welcoming some of the top amateur players is a great opportunity to showcase the Club, our golf course and the work of our entire team.”

The Course

This year’s event marks the first time since 2016 that competitors will play the Knudson-Homenuik rotation, one of three nine-hole layouts at the club. The Knudson nine formed the closing stretch of the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, including the memorable 18th hole where Nick Taylor made a 72-foot eagle putt to win the championship.

With elevation changes, strategic approach shots and challenging green complexes, teams will need to balance aggression with smart decision-making throughout the round.

“Oakdale rewards good course management and consistent ball striking,” said Arychu. “Players will need to be smart with their decisions and put themselves in the right positions throughout the round.

“Players will need to think carefully about where they leave the ball, particularly around the greens, because being on the wrong side of the hole can make scoring difficult very quickly. In a Four-Ball format, there will certainly be opportunities to be aggressive, but the teams that understand when to take those chances and when to play conservatively should be rewarded.”

Players to Watch

• Cam Burke & Charlie Burke – return to defend their Ontario Men’s Four-Ball Championship title after claiming the championship in 2024. Cam Burke also enters the week as the reigning two-time Ontario Men’s Mid-Amateur champion, having captured back-to-back titles in 2024 and 2025.
  
• Will Mitchell & Mark Armstrong – will look to build on recent success after teaming up to win the 2025 Ontario Men’s Four-Ball Championship.
  
• Ryan Tsang – the 2020 Ontario Men’s Mid-Amateur champion, brings significant provincial championship experience to the field.
  
• Jonn Drewery – enters the championship following his victory in the men’s division at the 2026 Ontario Champion of Champions.

A century of golf leadership and a new chapter in Northern Ontario golf history were celebrated on Thursday, September 24th as the Northern Golf Association hosted its 100th Anniversary Celebration at Idylwylde Golf & Country Club in Sudbury. The event brought together more than 90 guests from across the region and featured the inaugural induction ceremony for the Northern Ontario Golf Hall of Fame.

As the NGA reflected on 100 years of supporting and growing the game throughout Northern Ontario, the association also recognized 10 individuals whose accomplishments and contributions helped shape that legacy. Inducted in the player and builder categories, the inaugural class represents some of the most influential figures in Northern Ontario golf.

Celebrating 100 years of Northern Ontario Golf

Hosted by Golf Ontario Regional Manager and NGA Director Owen Rigg, the evening brought together representatives from member clubs, volunteers, community leaders and golf enthusiasts from across Northern Ontario to celebrate the Association’s first century.

Since its formation in 1926, the NGA has played an important role in fostering competition, supporting member clubs and helping grow the game across the region. The centennial celebration provided an opportunity to reflect on that history while looking ahead to the future of golf in Northern Ontario.

Owen Rigg reflected on the organization’s growth since returning to Northern Ontario in 2009, when the NGA had just 12 member clubs, including only six that were fully affiliated. Today, nearly 40 clubs across the region are part of the Association’s network.

“I really wanted to get involved, so I approached Archie Berube,” said Rigg. “We started thinking about how we were going to start re-establishing a relationship with Golf Ontario and Golf Canada.”

The progress made over the past two decades helped lay the foundation for a milestone evening celebrating both the NGA’s history and its future.

“I think it’s a testament to those efforts that led us to tonight, telling the stories of the first hundred years and talking about the next 100 years,” said Rigg.

Inaugural Northern Ontario Golf Hall of Fame Class

A highlight of the evening was the induction of the inaugural Northern Ontario Golf Hall of Fame class, recognizing individuals whose achievements and dedication left a lasting mark on the game across the northern region.

Builders

• George W. Lee (North Bay): Helped organize the inaugural Northern Ontario Golf Championship in 1926 and played a key role in the formation of the NGA. The Northern Ontario Championship trophy was later named in his honour.
  
• John Knox (Timmins): Founding President of the NGA who brought together clubs from Timmins, North Bay, Haileybury and Iroquois Falls during the Association’s formation.
  
• Robert “Bob” McMenemy (Sault Ste. Marie): Dedicated more than 50 years to the game as an administrator, organizer, coach and rules official. He also served as Northern Ontario’s first representative on the Golf Ontario Board and worked numerous provincial and national championships.
  
• Archie Berube (Timmins): Longtime NGA President who helped revitalize the Association, rebuild partnerships with Golf Ontario and Golf Canada, and played a leading role in the 2018 Memorandum of Understanding between the organizations.

Players

• Robert Gardiner “Bob” Lee (North Bay): Captured five Northern Ontario Amateur Championships between 1927 and 1938, winning his first title at just 17 years old. He later served as President of North Bay Golf & Country Club and was inducted into the North Bay Sports Hall of Fame.
  
• William “Bill” Morland (North Bay): A record 12-time Northern Ontario Amateur Champion, Golf Ontario Men’s Amateur Champion and Ontario Champion of Champions. He also represented Ontario on three Willingdon Cup teams and competed in five Canadian Opens.
  
• Phyllis Hughes Crang (Sudbury): Nine-time Northern Ontario Ladies Champion who won 15 Idylwylde Invitationals and 19 club championships. Her playing career spanned more than seven decades.
  
• Jim Lamontagne (Kapuskasing): Six-time NGA Champion, including five consecutive titles from 1981 to 1985, and an eight-time Kapuskasing Invitational winner. Later known throughout the region as “The Gentleman Golfer.”
  
• Bruce Helbig (Sudbury): Winner of more than 50 tournaments across Northern Ontario, including five Northern Ontario Amateur Championships and four Idylwylde Invitationals. He later built a career as a golf professional, instructor and course operator.
  
• Vince Palladino (Sudbury): Six-time Northern Ontario Amateur Champion who competed at Ohio State University, represented Ontario on a championship-winning Willingdon Cup team and later served as Head Coach of the Laurentian University golf program.

Looking Ahead

As the NGA enters its second century, the evening served as a reminder that the organization’s success has always been driven by the people behind it! From founding builders and volunteers to championship-winning players, the inaugural Hall of Fame class reflects the passion and commitment that have helped shape Northern Ontario golf for the past 100 years.

Toronto, ON – Alexandra Taylor and Meredith Fairbairn delivered a standout performance to capture the Women’s Division title, carding a six-under-par 66. The pair combined for six birdies and an eagle, showcasing exceptional teamwork and consistency throughout the round. Their impressive play proved more than enough to separate themselves from the field and secure a well-earned championship victory.

Evelyn(Ruitong) Liu and Xinyun Ye (Blue Springs Golf Club, Golf Ontario Players Club – Halton Hills), finished in second place with a score of 67, five under par. In third place were Christina Wu and Leah Diep with a score of 69.

with a score of 68.

In the Senior Women’s Division, defending champions Ivy Steinberg and Sandy Byckowski (Granite Golf Club and Brampton Golf Club) successfully repeated as champions, claiming the title with a one-over-par 73 after also winning the championship in 2024. The duo delivered a composed and consistent performance, making key pars throughout the round to maintain their advantage and secure victory in a tightly contested championship.

A three-way tie for second place at two-over-par 74 featured the teams of Michelle Viktil and Kim Triemstra (Braestone Club), Lynn Lean and Sandra Pacas (Spring Lakes Golf Club), and Jane Kirkpatrick and Lily Liu (Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto).
