Whistler's first snowfall of 2010
The format for September was “Beat the Pro” but Jordan Matheson had to show off by recording an ace at the Par 3 14th hole holing a 7 iron! Director of Golf Alan Kristmanson took on the field with his Gross score going up against all net scores.
“I had the pleasure of playing with Jordan on the front nine and she can really hit it, but recording and ace against me was uncalled for!” “Yup I hit a 7 iron right at the flag, I saw it land and roll right in the hole” Jordan said calmly for her first ever ace.
Kristmanson’s Gross score of 74 held off most of the field except for Mei Liu who’s net score of 73 took the first place prize. Chris Simeoni also received winning honors with a net 74. ” Chris’ birdie three on 16 was awesome” Alan said. “He holed out front a very wet bunker front right of 16″

“We were very proud to host this prestigious event” said Alan Kristmanson, Director of Golf at the Whistler Golf Club. “The players raved about the course conditions and the new Practice Facility. The greens were running fast and true and with the wind being up for all three days the best players were identified, which is what a Championship of this stature should do”

I love this course.”
