A huge congratulations to KenWo Golf Club for hosting an incredible 2025 Canadian Men’s Senior Championship right here in Nova Scotia last week!

The course, the volunteers, and the hospitality made for an unforgettable week, and Golf Nova Scotia is so proud to see one of our clubs deliver such a first-class national championship.

Nova Scotia was strongly represented with 10 players in the field, and we’re thrilled to share that 5 made the cut. Special recognition goes to Rob Collins, who had an outstanding week and finished T7 against the best senior golfers in the country!

Here’s how our Nova Scotians who made the cut finished:
Rob Collins – T7
Norm Batherson – T39
Jeff Hovell – T42
Aaron Nickerson – T52
Bryan Fader – 74th

A huge shoutout to all of our Nova Scotians who teed it up this week. You continue to make us proud by competing at the national level.💙

In a partnership with the Department of Education and Sport Nova Scotia, the Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage has developed the Sport Leadership Personal Development Credit for high school students in Nova Scotia. This program is designed to help students build valuable leadership skills in coaching and officiating, while giving back to their communities and contributing to sport development across the province. 

The program is open to all Nova Scotia high school students in Grade 10 or above who are involved in coaching or officiating with a Provincial Sport Organization that is a member of Sport Nova Scotia. 

Students enrolled in the program can earn a full school credit by completing the requirements in either coaching or officiating. To qualify, students must complete a total of 110 hours, which include both sport-specific education and hands-on practical experience—such as coaching practices and games or officiating matches. 

If you are interested in participating or have questions about the program, please contact Mike Hudson at mike.hudson@novascotia.ca and we will provide you with the program intake form.
