Nobelle Park Captures 2025 Ontario Junior Girl’s Spring Classic Title at FireRock

The 2025 Ontario Junior Girls’ Spring Classic concluded May 20th at FireRock Golf Club, with Nobelle Park of RattleSnake Point Golf Club capturing the title once again after a composed final round of 71. Park finished the 54-hole championship at 10-under-par (209), opening with back-to-back rounds of 69 before sealing the win on the final day.

“This means my hard work has paid off,” said Park. “Working out and keeping my game together during the winter means that I did everything right—and it really builds my confidence.”

Kaprice Park, also of RattleSnake Point, placed second at 3-under-par (216), followed by Cindy Yan of Golf Canada ClubHouse in third at 2-under-par (217).

Known for its elevation changes, tight fairways, and demanding greens, FireRock provided a true championship test. Park navigated the course with confidence and consistency, pulling ahead with steady play down the stretch. 

The Spring Classic once again showcased the impressive depth of talent emerging through Ontario’s junior golf ranks. From experienced competitors to rising stars in the U17 division, the field demonstrated maturity, resilience, and high-level shot-making throughout the week. Park’s back-to-back victories underscored both her dominance and the overall strength of competition—highlighting a bright future for junior golf in the province.

GAO Revamps Women’s Events for 2015

UXBRIDGE — The Golf Association of Ontario’s (GAO) 2015 season will offer a whole new look to female provincial tournaments and the changes are sure to not only increase participation but also enhance competition.

One of the first changes will be the qualifying structure for the Junior Girls’ Match Play Championship, June 29-30 at Woodington Lake Golf Club in Tottenham. Formerly, qualification and seeding took place a day before the matches began, but in 2015, that will be determined by the final results from the Investors Group Junior Girls’ Spring Classic, May 16-18 at Grey Silo Golf Club in Waterloo.

“This change should make for a stronger match play field, add more significance to finishing positions at the Junior Spring Classic and give players early notice that they have qualified for this tournament,” said Manager of Women’s Tournaments Larry Longo.

Changes have also been made to the Women’s Champion of Champions. First, it will now be played on May 14 at Galt Country Club in Cambridge after earlier scheduling conflicts. In addition, a Senior Women’s Champion of Champions will be played simultaneously at Galt Country Club.

Similarly, the Investors Group Senior Women’s and Mid-Amateur Championships have been combined to take place together, on July 21-23 at Loyalist Country Club in Bath.

The date of the Women’s Match Play Championship has also been moved to later in the season, Aug. 4-6 at Woodington Lake. This will allow those participating in the Canadian Senior Women’s Championship and college players more availability to participate in the event.

A new Player Priority Entry Rankings List for the Investors Group Women’s Amateur Championship has been created for 2015 to allow the top 90 players to enter online and be accepted into the tournament immediately. Those outside the top 90, may enter the championship but will be put on a wait list. The status of those on the wait list will not be known until after the entry deadline, unless they move into the top 90. Once the deadline passes and, if positions are available, those still on the wait list will be moved into the championship to fill the 90-player field. Remaining players not yet accepted at that point will be championship alternates and moved into the championship if a spot becomes available. A similar list has been created for the Investors Group Junior Girls’ Championship. More information can be found on the tournament page.

Finally, the GAO is pleased to announce that the Member Day event at the Ladies’ Golf Club of Toronto, June 22, will be a GAO Member Day for Women only.

With these new initiatives there even more reasons for women to get involved with GAO programming and enjoy all that golf has to offer.
