Who is this kid? A virtual unknown! A 23-year-old who had never won on the PGA Tour until May 6. Ricky Fowler is his name and he is arguably the most colourful golfer on the PGA Tour. And now he has his first win. Ricky shot a 3-under-par on the final day of the Wells Fargo Championship at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C.

Welcome back everyone! What a wonderful start to the golf season. After enduring a long but rather mild winter, golf courses are opening their doors and the sun is shining with a reasonable weather forecast for the upcoming days. Therefore I am sure you are as excited as I am to dust off your equipment in preparation for your first round of the year. The winter months are a great time to rest up and re-energize from the previous golf season.

Garry Douglas is the new manager of the the Stettler Elks Golf and Country Club and he promises to bring a lot of experience to his newly acquired position.
