2017 Junior Junior
& SNAG Golf
This year the Junior Committee introduced
SNAG golf equipment to the Jr. Jr. Program.
SNAG allows for full shots, pitching, chipping
and putting in a fun and safe environment.
Our SNAG golf equipment was a huge hit with
the kids. They loved the colorful balls and clubs
and had a blast hitting at the sticky suit (thanks to
Chris Crisologo for being the target)! Maybe we
will even start adult SNAG golf soon!!
Registration is now open for our next round
of Jr. Jr. Clinics coming up in July:

Lu & Crisologo Qualify for
US Open Sectional Qualifiers
3rd Annual Heritage Cup Classic
Wow — what a day! Saturday, May 13, 2017
saw an end to the relentless winter and
challenges with the greens as the Golfing
Goddesses and Gods saw fit to let the sun shine
while our Links Staff prepared 13 greens for play.
96 Marine Drivers of all handicap levels teed
it up in four person teams drawn from all
categories — Junior, Intermediate and Regular,
Senior & Social — and played a two best net
ball with modified Stableford scoring.
Congratulations to Jordan Lu and Chris
Crisologo who both qualified for the US Open
Sectional Qualifier in Tacoma, WA on June 5th.
Lu shot a 2-under par round of 70 at
Canterwood Golf & Country Club in Gig
Harbor, Washington to share a 3-way tie for
medalist honours and advance to a US Open
Sectional Qualifier.
The newly acquired MDGC
Heritage Cup trophy came to us
already filled with its own chunk of
heritage. Doug Stewart was
gracious in donating his BC Junior
Boys’ Trophy (one of three
consecutive victories) to signify our
Heritage over the ages.
The team of Harry White, Lorna Roxburgh,
Sue Biddle and Adam Mills are the 2017
MDGC Heritage Cup Classic Champs.
Crisologo shot a 3-under par round of 69 at
Wine Valley Golf Club in Walla Walla,
Washington to finish in a tie for 3rd place and
advances to a US Open Sectional Qualifier.
Good luck to Jordan & Chris at Tacoma
Country & Golf Club on Monday, June 5!
Chris Crisologo Named
NCAA First Team All-American
Chris Crisologo was named NCAA PING
First-Team All-American by the Golf Coaches
Association of America, marking the first time
an SFU Clan golfer has been named to the
First Team.
Crisologo won four individual titles this
season and was named Great Northwest
Athletic Conference Player of the Year and AllConference First Team for the second
consecutive year.
Chris put together his most dominant season to
date, finishing in the Top 10 at 7 of 10 tournaments.
He averaged 71.07 strokes per round and carded
scores under par in 19 of 28 rounds.
Mike Riste, our very own historian and the
driving force behind the BC Golf House
Museum and Golf Hall of Fame, was on the
fourth hole with hickory golf clubs that were
used to hit one’s tee shot and try for the
women’s or men’s KP. Mike also enlightened
us on more of MDGC Heritage from the early
days, presenting a lot of firsts in our history
during the evening activities.
Harry White & Doug Stewart also gave us some
of their stories about our heritage and the future of
our talented Juniors and elite Intermediates, many
of whom were participants that day.
MDGC Food & Beverage did a great job with
serving snacks on the course and a sumptuous
dinner, and as usual, The Golf Shop conducted
a great competition.

Arthur Vernon Macan
Please join us in our congratulations!
The following staff members are celebrating their
many years of service to the Club!
Did you know Marine Drive Golf Club was designed by
A. V. Macan? An Irish immigrant to Canada, Macan
volunteered for service in World War I and fought in the
Battle of Vimy Ridge. After the war he returned to Canada
to play competitive golf and design golf courses. Along
with Marine Drive, Macan also designed Royal Colwood
(1913), Gorge Vale (1920), University (1927), Richmond
(1959) & Shaughnessy (1959), to name a few.
