Trent Excalibur Golf Tournament

Peterborough

Trent University’s Department of Athletics & Recreation will once again be hosting the popular Excalibur Golf Tournament at the Peterborough Golf & Country Club (PGCC) on Thursday, June 16, 2011.

All proceeds from the Excalibur Golf Tournament go towards supporting the varsity program at Trent University and athletic financial awards. These awards are designed to assist student athletes with a record of outstanding academic and athletic performance and demonstrated financial need. Each donation is matched dollar-for-dollar by the government’s Ontario Trust for Student Support (OTSS) program.

Registration for the seventh annual tournament is $200 per golfer and $800 for a foursome. In addition to a cart rental and round of golf at one of Peterborough’s most prestigious courses, registration includes: lunch at the PGCC, post-tournament reception and dinner at Trent University, a free Excalibur golf club and the chance to win several prizes.

The tournament is open to all members of the community. Registration is now open.

Changes At Black Diamond

As On the Links first reported on our Twitter page earlier this week a new Head Pro and Director of Operations are now both in place at Black Diamond Golf Club in Pontypool, Ontario.

Andy Sandilands (right) has been at the club since 2006 and will take over as the Director of Operations. Sandilands will be a busy guy as he will also retain his position as Superintendent. Sandilands told On the Links that he's excited about the new challenge of doing both jobs "It was a great opportunity for me because I have a great deal of pride in our club and having the opportunity to manage the whole club gives me a lot of opportunity to turn my visions into reality.


My first order of business was to hire a Director of Golf, my first choice was Bobby Hayden (below) and he accepted the position and was excited to be a part of a great team" added Sandilands.

"Bobby brings a lot of years of exceptional customer service and his tenure at Cherry Downs will bring us a wealth of knowledge. There are a lot of new and very exciting things happening at Black Diamond this year". Sandilands says the club is really going to focus on member services and announce some great incentives for daily fee players. "Customer service, feedback and value will be front and centre for Black Diamond this year" Sandilands added.

Sandilands takes over from departing General Manager and Head Pro Darren Stalteri who has departed to take over a similar role at The Quarry in Ennismore.
