Navigating Golf Course Renovations: Planned and Unplanned
This session will showcase Guy’s expertise in navigating both planned and unplanned renovations, including overcoming the challenges of natural disasters.
Guy’s current role as general manager at Hillsdale Golf Club has him overseeing major renovations to transform the current club and course. The club was founded in 1953 and currently has two 18-hole courses designed by Canadian architect Howard Watson. Whitman, Axland & Cutten (WAC Golf) has been hired to develop a plan that will convert the existing facilities and golf courses into a new 18-hole course, a 9-hole course, and high-performance teaching and practice facilities.
In 2022, a rare weather event occurred in areas of Southern Ontario and Québec causing notable property damage to the Ottawa Hunt & Golf Club. The club lost over 1200 trees and experienced extensive damage to its irrigation system. Under Guy’s leadership, the club was able to recover within three weeks of the storm and continue preparations to host a record-setting and award-winning event for the LPGA.
This session will be delivered en français.
