Royal Colwood General Manager Terry Yacyshen has completed his first year in the position of GM and he generously took some time to come visit the podcast studio and talk about Royal Colwood and his golfing background. Terry’s first professional round was with Steve Stricker in the old Payless Open.

Terry also shares some of his experiences while working at other golf facilities around British Columbia and further abroad. How many holes-in-one do you think Terry has made and is it possible he missed out on the $10,000?

Keep up the good work Terry.

Looking ahead to 2025 - John McMillan & Adam Trevor

Season 3 · Episode 1

Wednesday, January 15, 2025 • Duration 30:36

Send us Fan Mail

To start 2025, I sat down with two long-time Royal Colwood members (Adam Trevor – 25 yrs and John McMillan – 48 yrs to chat about the coming year. We found that even though we wanted to talk about 2025, we still talked about the past!

John remembers watching the 1976 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship held at Royal Colwood and the battle between Jim Nelford and Rafael Alarcón. That was the 2nd straight Canadian Amateur win for Nelford, Alarcón later won the 1979 event in Brantford Ont.

Royal Colwood also hosted the 2013 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship where Eli Cole defeated both Corey Connors and Taylor Pendrith by 1 stroke.

2025 will see lots of good golf at Royal Colwood and foster strong camaraderie amongst the members.

Happy New Year!

In this episode of the podcast, you’ll meet Ewan Baldwin of Royal Colwood, he’s 14 years old and the 2024 BC Golf Association Zone 5 Junior Golfer of the Year. He’s also a 3-time Junior Club Champion and undoubtedly a golfer you’ll be seeing in the future.

It’s nice to hear from young adults enjoying the game of golf and more importantly seeing the results of Royal Colwood’s Junior Golf Program. Ewan plans to be on the school golf team at Royal Bay High School starting in September 2025. This past Summer, Ewan was a volunteer Caddy in the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship and on the bag of Past Champion Lauren Zaretsky. Ewan’s favourite PGA Tour player is Shane Lowry, of Ireland.

We spent a bit of time talking about Ewan’s summer of golf activity, some games were competition rounds and other games were during family vacation. He tells us about some of his sub 70 rounds through the summer. Ewan wants to play in the Golf Canada Junior Championship in 2025 if he can qualify and maybe even compete in the Men’s open division at Royal Colwood.

Big thanks to Matthew Baldwin for making this interview happen.

Send us Fan Mail

On this episode, we hear from Tom Martell (coordinator) about the "Train Wreck" event at Royal Colwood. The Train Wreck is a 2 man team event, where the team collects points and tries to avoid having a train wreck (which means both players score net bogey or worse).

Net Bogey = 0 points

Net Par = 1 point

Net Birdie = 2 points

Net Eagle = 5 points

Net Double Eagle = 8 points

At Royal Colwood, there are 2 Train Wreck events each year, 1 in the Summer and 1 in the Fall.
Tom talks about some of the history of the train wreck and more details about playing in this fun tournament!

Congrats to the 2024 Winners:
Summer - Kent Campbell & Tristan Story
Fall - Ted Rush & Kirk Handrahan

Short trip to Portland, Oregon for a friendly match with a few members of Columbia Edgewater, special thanks to Ky Fullerton, Evan Wilson and Erik Bjorvik for setting this up and being gracious hosts.

With the help of John Story and Bill Coles we recollected for a few minutes about our couple of days at Columbia Edgewater. This trip supports another strong recommendation for Royal Colwood members to head to Portland to enjoy good food at "Salty’s on the Columbia River" before or after a great round of golf at Columbia Edgewater.

Great conversation with 50-year members Mike Adamek and Tom LeQuesne. These two Royal Colwood members reminisce about the early years of their golf membership and later share some of their experiences of golfing other AV Macan golf courses over the past 40 years.

With Tom and Mike being around for some time they both bring up some wonderful memories at Royal Colwood and how things have evolved over the years.

Mike wants to play with Rory McIlroy, Guy Lafleur and Tom LeQuesne in his dream foursome, while Tom has always wanted to golf with Roger Staubach. These guys are dedicated sports fans and hugely devoted to their respective Cowboys (Tom) and Habs (Mike). The Adamek’s and LeQuesne’s are long established Westshore families and have a great history of significant sport and community contributions.
