Golf Ontario has unveiled its 2027–2031 Strategic Plan, Golf for All — The Next Chapter, establishing a clear direction for the organization and its role in supporting the continued evolution of golf across the province. 

Grounded in Golf Ontario’s vision of Golf for All and its mission to Positively Shape Lives by Connecting People to Golf Experiences, the plan reflects both where the sport is heading and how Golf Ontario will continue to lead, serve and collaborate with golfers, facilities, volunteers, athletes, partners and communities.  

“Golf in Ontario is evolving—and so must we,” says Golf Ontario’s CEO Kyle McFarlane. “This plan provides a clear and balanced framework to grow our membership, expand opportunities and excellence across the sport, strengthen our financial foundation and build the organizational capacity required to lead with confidence. Most importantly, it reflects the perspectives of the people and organizations that make golf in Ontario possible.” 

The plan was developed through extensive engagement with golfers, volunteers, facility operators, industry partners, staff, and Golf Ontario’s Board of Directors, with guidance from the organization’s Strategic Planning Workgroup.  

At the centre of the plan are four strategic pillars and 12 supporting strategies: 

Membership — Membership Growth

Facility Membership, Golfer Membership and Regional Support will guide Golf Ontario’s work to grow and strengthen its membership base while delivering meaningful value, connection and support throughout the province. 

Sport — Expand Opportunities and Excellence

Participation, Junior Performance and Competitions will support welcoming entry points into golf, clearly defined athlete-development pathways and high-quality competitive experiences.  

Financial Sustainability — Grow Income to Fuel Impact

Financial Strength, Fund Development and Corporate Partnerships will help build a resilient financial foundation that supports long-term sustainability and continued reinvestment in the sport. 

Organizational Capacity — Operational Excellence

People, Governance and Systems will strengthen the organizational foundation needed to support the other pillars and position Golf Ontario for continued growth and innovation. 

The four pillars are supported by five strategic enablers that will help connect and accelerate work across the organization: Technology and Data; Equity, Diversity and Inclusion; Marketing and Communications; Strategic Relationships; and Golf Ontario’s Execute, Resource, Promote and Celebrate model.  

“This is more than a document—it is a blueprint for how Golf Ontario will make decisions, align resources and measure progress over the next five years,” says McFarlane. “We are excited to bring the plan to life alongside our members, facilities allies, volunteers, industry partners and golf communities across Ontario.” 

The Strategic Plan will be translated into annual operational priorities, supported by defined measures, regular reporting and ongoing stakeholder involvement. Golf Ontario will also remain agile and prepared to respond transparently as new opportunities, risks and external factors emerge.

Ontario’s championship season gets underway this weekend as many of the province’s top junior golfers head to Kawartha Golf Club and Wooden Sticks Golf Club for the annual Junior Spring Classics. 

The Junior Girls Spring Classic is set for Kawartha Golf Club in Peterborough, while the Junior Boys event returns to Wooden Sticks Golf Club in Uxbridge.  

Featuring elite 60-player fields, the Junior Spring Classics serve as one of the first major competitive benchmarks of the season for many of Ontario’s rising players.

Junior Boys Spring Classic 

Wooden Sticks Golf Club | Uxbridge, ON 

The boys championship returns to Wooden Sticks Golf Club, one of Ontario’s most unique and recognizable courses. With its replica-inspired design and demanding setup, Wooden Sticks presents a unique challenge rarely experienced in junior competition. 

Tournament Director, John Lawrence, says the event remains one of the toughest junior championships to qualify for in Ontario. 

“The Junior Spring Classic is one of the hardest junior events to qualify for in Ontario, with more than 250 players attempting to earn one of 60 spots in the field,” said Lawrence. “Many current and former Team Ontario athletes — and several Ontario players now competing on the PGA Tour — have played in this championship. Competing at Wooden Sticks is a special opportunity for junior golfers.” 

Players to Watch 

• Joseph Totino: Finished third at the Ontario Junior Players Invitational earlier this season 

• Dimitri Protopapas: Team Ontario member 

• Evan Hall: Team Ontario member 

• Matthew Simpson: Team Ontario member 

• Max Li: Team Ontario member 

• Chase Jerome: Returning notable competitor 

Junior Girls Spring Classic 

Kawartha Golf Club | Peterborough, ON 

The girl’s championship heads to Kawartha Golf Club, a historic Stanley Thompson design ranked among Canada’s Top 100. The course will challenge players with elevation changes, tight tee shots, and small greens throughout the 54-hole championship.  

Tournament Director, Mason Cowan, believes Kawartha Golf Club will reward strong course management and smart decision making throughout the week. 

“The course will play long, with its elevation changes throughout the property, and I think to have success, players have to focus on their course management and iron play over all three championship rounds,” said Cowan. “The course requires players to carefully consider the best moments to attack the flag.” 

Players to Watch 

• Kaprice Park: 2026 Ontario Junior Players Invitational Champion, 2026 Team Ontario member 

• Riviera Lindholm: 2025 & 2026 Ontario Junior Girls Champion of Champions Winner, 2025 Ontario Super Camp Invitational Champion, 2025 Ontario U13 Girls’ Champion

Golf Ontario is proud to announce the appointment of Claire Welsh as the association’s new Chief Sport Officer, marking a homecoming for one of Ontario golf’s most respected and accomplished leaders.

Welsh returns to Golf Ontario following an extensive international career in golf administration and event leadership, most recently serving as Tournament Director of the CPKC Women’s Open with Golf Canada. Prior to that role, she spent nearly a decade with The R&A in St Andrews, Scotland, working alongside some of the world’s most prestigious championships, including The Open and the AIG Women’s Open.

In her new role as Chief Sport Officer, Welsh will oversee Golf Ontario’s sport operations portfolio, including championships, junior performance programming, and the numerous participation initiatives for youth, women and other underserved communities.
“We are thrilled to welcome Claire back to Golf Ontario,” says Golf Ontario’s CEO Kyle McFarlane. “Claire understands our association, our culture, and the Ontario golf landscape incredibly well, but she brings invaluable global experience from working at the very highest levels of the game.”

“She has built outstanding relationships and has consistently demonstrated a passion for athlete and participant experience, operational excellence, and innovation. As we look ahead to Golf Ontario’s next strategic plan in 2027, Claire’s leadership and perspective will help shape the future of golf in Ontario.”

Her return to Golf Ontario represents both a full-circle moment personally and an exciting step forward for the organization as it prepares for its next chapter of growth and leadership in the sport. For Welsh, the opportunity to return to Golf Ontario was one she could not pass up.

“Returning to Golf Ontario in this role is incredibly meaningful to me, both professionally and personally,” says Welsh. “Throughout much of my career in sport, I’ve often found myself as one of only a few women in leadership spaces. To now join a leadership team at Golf Ontario that already includes such strong and accomplished female voices is something I’m truly proud of.”

“It speaks to the vision of the association and the culture that’s been established here. I’m excited to work alongside the amazing Golf Ontario team as we continue creating more opportunities in golf and shaping an inclusive future for the sport in Ontario.”

Before joining The R&A, Welsh spent six years with Golf Ontario as Marketing and Communications Manager, where she helped elevate the visibility of amateur golf across the province through championship media coverage, athlete storytelling, digital communications, and member engagement.

Her broader career has taken her across provincial, national, and international golf, with experience spanning athlete relations, safeguarding, championship delivery, communications, stakeholder engagement, and major event operations. At The R&A, Welsh served as Head of Player Relations, establishing the organization’s first Player Relations department and leading athlete-focused work across The Open and the AIG Women’s Open. She also previously led consumer, brand, public relations, content, and digital communications for The Open, bringing one of golf’s most historic championships to global audiences. She has also worked within the Olympic movement through the International Golf Federation, supporting golf’s return to the Olympic programme at Rio 2016, and at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games on the men’s and women’s hockey competitions.

Throughout her career, Welsh has built a reputation as a collaborative and innovative leader with a strong focus on growing the sport while maintaining meaningful connections with athletes, volunteers, partners, and stakeholders.

Golf Ontario looks forward to welcoming Welsh back to the organization as it continues its mission of shaping lives through golf.

The Junior Golf Pathway (JGP) Rankings now have a new home directly on GolfOntario.ca, providing junior golfers, families, and coaches one central place to follow progress, celebrate performance, and support each player’s journey through the competitive season. 

Previously hosted on a third-party platform, the rankings have now been integrated into Golf Ontario’s website, creating a more accessible place for players to follow results, track their development, and stay connected to the JGP rankings as they advance in competitive golf. 

Behind the Rankings 

The Ontario Junior Golf Pathway Rankings were created to recognize the top performing junior golfers across the province.   

Throughout the season, players can earn points through eligible events, and their best eight results are counted to shape their overall ranking. 

Points are awarded based on three main factors: 

• Performance: how well the golfer finishes in the event 

• Field Strength: the level of competition in that tournament 

• Tournament Length: whether it’s a single‑day or multi‑day event 

To help juniors understand the level of each tournament, events are also grouped into four categories: Emerging, Advancing, Competing, Performing. These categories help golfers see where they currently fit and what level they may want to aim for next.  

The rankings are managed by Golf Ontario and automatically added to the system when junior golfers compete in select regional, provincial, or national tournaments. 

Supporting Player Development 

Carlene Closs, Coordinator of Junior Performance, explains that the JGP rankings play an important role in supporting player development in the junior pathway. They help junior golfers understand where they stand compared to others in Ontario and figure out what the next step in their progression might be.  

Additionally, the rankings are used to award exemptions into provincial tournaments and to help identify players for Ontario Super Camp and the Next Wave Program. 

At the end of each season, Golf Ontario also recognizes the top boy and girl in every age division as the Junior Golf Pathway Players of the Year, celebrating those who have excelled throughout the season.

Golf Canada awarded National Facility Awards for Junior Golf to golf clubs across the nation for their success in going above and beyond in developing young Canadian golfers in the 2025 season.  

Golf Ontario is proud to recognize Ontario clubs across the province that strive to shape a stronger future for the game.  

Of the courses awarded, four Ontario clubs were recognized for their success:  

• South Ajax Golf Club (Ajax, ON)  

• The Oaks of St. George Golf Club (Paris, ON)  

• The Marshes Golf Club (Ottawa, ON)  

• Summit Golf Club (Richmond Hill, ON) 

The South Ajax GC won the “Youth On Course Program Location of the Year” award for their strong commitment to fostering a junior golf environment through the Youth On Course program. This award is presented to facilities that demonstrate exceptional commitment to youth golf development by providing extensive course access through the Youth On Course program.

Golf Ontario’s Manager of Participation, Madelyn Grossi, shares the significance of this award. 

“This award recognizes the impact and efforts of junior golf and South Ajax is an ideal Youth On Course facility for juniors, and we are proud that they are supporters of the program,” Grossi says. “Their commitment to providing access through their tee sheet helps reduce barriers and makes golf more accessible for families to introduce at a young age.”  

This award also carries personal significance to the South Ajax Golf Club team, as the club’s General Manager, Steve Uden shares: 

“This award means a lot to me personally, as my grandfather, Sam Sauve, was a huge proponent of introducing kids to the game of golf,” Uden says. “I took his lead that accessibility was the biggest deterrent to being introduced to the game of golf.” 

Accessibility has been a driving force behind the club’s junior golf growth.  

“With Youth On Course breaking down the barriers of accessibility, it made it incredibly easy to build a program at South Ajax that saw instant success and growth,” Uden says. 

South Ajax Golf Club continues to prioritize junior golfers within their community.  

“The staff at South Ajax are amazing at working hard to create a welcoming environment for everyone, but the juniors share a special place in everyone’s heart here.” 

South Ajax Golf Club recorded 494 participants and 2,712 rounds in 2025 – nearly doubling from the previous season – while seamlessly integrating Youth On Course into its junior programs and maintaining strong engagement. 

National Facility Awards for Junior Golf Ontario Club Finalists

The Oaks of St. George GC was recognized as a finalist for the “Grassroots Junior Program of the Year” award, showcasing their ability to develop new junior golfers through local programming.  

The Marshes GC was a finalist for the “Junior Golf Opportunity” award – highlighting facilities that provide exceptional access and opportunities to junior golfers.  

Summit GC was named a finalist for the “Competitive Junior Program of the Year” award, in recognition of their junior golfers’ success in both provincial and national championships.  

The National Facility Awards for Junior Golf highlight the important work being done by golf facilities across Ontario to support junior development, improve accessibility and support the growth of the game for future generations to come.

Golf Ontario is proud to introduce a new visual identity for the Golf For All Fund—one that reflects both the purpose of the fund and its role in shaping a more inclusive future for the game across the province.

A Symbol of Growth, Connection, and Opportunity

At the heart of the new identity is the maple key—a symbol that represents growth, movement, and the intentional spread of opportunity.

Often seen spinning and travelling before taking root, the maple key reflects how the game can reach new communities, create new pathways, and grow in ways that are both natural and purposeful.

More than a symbol of growth, the maple key represents structure and connection—how the Golf For All Fund is designed to unlock access, remove barriers, and create lasting impact across Ontario.

It also builds on Golf Ontario’s identity. While the association is represented by the maple leaf, the maple key offers a forward-looking evolution—one that connects heritage with the future of the game.

The Golf For All Fund maple key logo:

• Symbolizes growth, movement, and new beginnings
• Represents access, connection, and opportunity
• Builds on Golf Ontario’s maple leaf heritage in a modern, future-focused way
• Creates a distinct identity for philanthropy and community impact

Designed with Purpose

“Our goal was to create a mark that feels connected to our identity, while clearly representing the future of the game,” says Golf Ontario Manager of Brand and Communications, Greg Mitchell. “The maple key gave us a unique way to symbolize growth and new beginnings, while staying rooted in something that is unmistakably Ontario.”

Supporting the Future of the Game

At its core, the Golf For All Fund is about lasting impact—creating sustainable funding that expands participation and opens doors for those who have historically faced barriers to entry.

Whether driven by a passion for golf, youth development, community inclusion, or legacy building, the fund provides a meaningful way to invest in the future of the game—supported by strong governance and thoughtful stewardship.

“This new identity helps bring the purpose of the Golf For All Fund to life,” says Director of Events and Fund Development, Mallory Dayman. “It represents the impact we’re working to make—creating opportunities for more people to experience the game and building a more inclusive future for golf across Ontario.”

The new identity will be featured across all Golf For All Fund initiatives, strengthening awareness and connection to a shared mission of growing the game for all.

Bringing the Fund to Life

In the months ahead, the Golf For All Fund will come to life through a series of initiatives designed to bring the golf community together in support of a shared goal: growing the game for all.

This includes the introduction of the Golf For All Trustee Program, alongside a slate of philanthropic events and experiences that will create meaningful opportunities for partners, donors, and participants to get involved.

More details will be shared in the coming weeks.
