Message From the Professional Staff,
Good Morning,
It’s been a busy couple of weeks here in the Golf Shop. Last week, Adam & I visited our first BPG buying show. BPG (Boutique Pro Golf) is a cooperative of over 120 of the top Golf Clubs in Canada. BPG is an integral part of our strategy as a Golf Shop as the strength of our buying group allows us to leverage more unique products and provide them to you at incredible member prices. For some of the highlights from the show see the What’s new in 2022 section below.
Closer to home, we have been treated to some excellent fall weather - maybe with a bit more rain than we would like. As the leaves begin to turn, feel free to send any great photos you take on the course to us so we can share them on our social media channels! Thank you to Carolyn Culliton, Terri Kershaw & Ben Scapillati for sending in these AMAZING photos of this morning’s double rainbow
Another incredible photo from the course, courtesy of Bill Tomlinson as some foxes are checking out the play coming up the 18th hole.
As you are aware, next week (Monday October 24th - Thursday, October 28th) we are hosting the PGA of Canada Head Pro Championship. Thank you to the over 30 members who have reached out to volunteer in some capacity over the 4 days of competition. We will be meeting with the PGA of Canada shortly, and ALL volunteers can expect to hear from us in the next couple of days about what roles you will be fulfilling.
Want to get involved in the Club Pro Championship, but don’t necessarily want to volunteer? WE NEED YOUR HELP! - Let’s raise some money for Junior Golf! The PGA of Canada is excited to announce that, alongside BetRegal, the official Sports Gaming Partner of the PGA of Canada, they have created a way for you to support your pro and get closer to the action at the PGA Head Professional Championship of Canada presented by Callaway Golf than ever before. We are thrilled to announce that Rob Hickson will be representing Lookout Point Country Club in this year’s event!!! This contest will give PGA of Canada members and golfers throughout the country the opportunity to support and select a pro, and the club that the pro represents.
Simply head to this BetRegal link, and select your pro. The pro that wins the event will receive $10 for each vote cast in their name, half of which will go directly to their club’s junior program.
In addition, the pro that receives the most support, or unique ‘votes’, will also be awarded the banked funds that they have earned, with half also going to their junior golf program.
This contest is completely FREE to enter. Simply click on the link above, enter your email and select ROB HICKSON as your pro of choice. Let’s help Rob earn some $ for Lookout Point’s Junior Golf Programming!!!
On behalf of the professional staff,
Dan Roud

What’s new in 2022!
Check out the below previews for a few new brands we will be carrying in the golf shop in 2022.
Raw Elements Sunscreen
From founder Brian Guadagno:
I’ve been an Ocean Lifeguard my whole life, and through that experience I discovered how harmful chemical sunscreens are for our personal health and the health of our environment. I was really horrified at this discovery. I went on a quest to find a safe and effective solution, but one just did not exist.
After doing a great deal of research, I turned my kitchen into a lab and began formulating my own. My goal was to develop a natural sunscreen that could keep up with the active person and develop a brand that could connect with many different types of people. I really felt there was a huge void and so many people needed access to this type of sunscreen. This process led to the development of Raw Elements USA.
There have been many people who have been incredibly supportive along the way, which makes all the difference in the world. Our team challenges itself every day to find new, innovative ways to pioneer change and shift ways of thinking. We are committed to having a positive impact on all that we do.
Thank you for trusting us, together we are making a difference!
