“It feels great…you can’t really legislate for a day like today – I was three or four shots behind Johanna [Gustavsson] and it was of those days when everything came together,” said the PGA of GB&I Member, pictured above, alongside AESGC Operations Manager, Tom Buchanan.

“I’m lucky to be able to come out from the UK this time of year to play…and coming back to somewhere where you’ve won before then there are always good feelings towards it. The team also dovetailed well together – you have someone disappear for a couple of holes but then luckily someone fills in. And it’s the same for them, it’s such a nice place and they feel great about being here.”

Gane started the final round aboard the birdie train, making the turn in 28 following five birdies and an eagle. A steadier back nine of two-under gave him his course record-equalling round score, and an 11-under total for the tournament [269].

Overnight leader, Johanna Gustavsson (PGA of Sweden & Ladies European Tour Member), still managed to go low even under mounting pressure Gane, with a three-under par 67 in the final round and an eight-under par (272) total for the event, just three shots back.

Third ended in a tie between the PGA of Sweden’s Jesper Karlsson and the PGA of GB&I’s Alex Wrigley each finishing on two-over [+2] for the week.

Gane proved dominant in the Team Pro-Am event alongside his teammates Andrew Doswell, Warren Emery and John Harper, with an incredible total of 343pts [-55] following four consistently high scoring rounds.

Second place went to Steve Dooley (PGA of Austria), Claudia Stritecky, Kathi Rabas and Alfred Velharticky, with 333pts, followed by Johanna Gustavsson, Hans Gustavsson, Glenn Adolfsson and Arne Ekehed, in third place with 331pts.

To ensure this safe environment, the PGA of Canada has updated its code of professional practice and developed the PGA Code of Professional Conduct and Safe Sport Policy, which includes education and policy that will further strengthen our members ability to provide a respectful and welcoming environment for golfers throughout the country.

“As leaders in the golf industry, we must ensure the safety of all of those who enjoy the game throughout the country,” said PGA of Canada President Teejay Alderdice. “The Safe Sport framework developed will serve as a guide for our association to follow and infrastructure we encourage facilities to implement into their policies.”

What Is Safe Sport?

Safe Sport refers to the process and measures implemented to protect and effectively care for the health, well-being, and human rights of all participants in the PGA of Canada community, especially children and youth. Individuals participating in all disciplines of golf in Canada, including athletes, coaches, officials, sport administrators, volunteers and others should be able to engage in a sport environment free from abuse, discrimination and potential harm.

This Safe Sport webpage includes a group of specific policies that collectively promote a Safe Sport environment by communicating expected standards of behaviour. These policies also enable consistent, immediate, appropriate, and meaningful action should any issues arise.

Should any individual wish to report any instance of misconduct or maltreatment, they may do so directly through the PGA of Canada’s independent Third Party as identified in this set of Policies. The Case Manager will then refer to this document to determine the appropriate forum and manner to address the report.

We encourage all PGA of Canada members and anybody involved with golf in Canada in any form to read the PGA Code of Professional Conduct and Safe Sport Policy to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all golfers and athletes.

In addition, there are a few great PGA of Canada courses and resources available to members who would like to learn more about Safe Sport and implementing it at your facility: Respect in the Workplace, Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders, CAC Safe Sport Training.
