Golf Canada members posted a record number of scores in 2023, with more than 10 million being recorded, breaking the previous high of 9.2 million set in 2022.
On December 12, 2023, the 10 millionth score in 2023 was recorded. The round was placed at Boca Raton Golf and Racquet Club in Florida, United States by Jocelyn.
The provinces of Ontario and British Columbia accounted for just over half of all scores recorded in 2023 while the month of July saw the most rounds played at almost 2 million.
“Golf Canada is thrilled to see the sport of golf continuing the momentum and success it experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have seen increased levels in membership and more people spending time out on the golf course. With that, we have reached this incredible milestone of 10 million scores being posted this year,” said Ryan Logan, Director of Memberships, Golf Canada.
Golf Canada also made a recent change to its official logo.
Canadian Nick Taylor recently became the first time a Canadian Open since Pat Fletcher in 1954. And in sinking the winning putt, Taylor tossed hi putter to the side, an image that has now become part of the logo.
“We are excited to pay tribute to the epic performance of Nick’s amazing win by capturing the energy of that moment within the brand identity and logo mark for the 2024 RBC Canadian Open,” Golf Canada Chief Marketing Officer Tim McLaughlin said in a release. “Nick’s historic victory will be celebrated in the lead up to and throughout the 2024 RBC Canadian Open and the reimagined logo is a fitting homage to both Nick and this most special moment for our National Open.”
