Ewan Baldwin - 2025 Men's Club Champion - Royal Colwood Golf Club

Ewan Baldwin claimed his first Men’s Open Division Club Championship in 2025 at 15 years old. Ewan had never played in the Open Division prior to this year, only competing as a Junior (3 time Champ) before. It was great talking about Ewan’s golf successes for 2025. The Royal Bay High School Golf Academy is new for Ewan this year and he hopes to compete for a spot on the Golf Team. Another major highlight for Ewan this year was the Notah Begay III (NB3) Boys Junior National Championship in Louisiana. He won two qualifying events (BC Provincial Championship and the Washington State Regional Championship) to reach the finals. Ewan was 5th overall in his Division – well done! https://www.nb3canada.org/ https://www.instagram.com/nb3jgnc/ Sound editing done by Todd Mason.

Terry Yacyshen - General Manager - Royal Colwood Golf Club

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. Sound editing done by Todd Mason.

2025 Club Captain - Jordan Smaldon

Jordan was elected to the Board of Directors in early 2024 as the Club Captain. His position gives him a seat on the Executive Committee and is bound to keep him busy. Jordan really enjoyed campaigning for the position and speaking directly to the members. Jordan talks about the importance of keeping priorities straight in his position of Captain and tries to keep his personal preferences separate. Jordan grew up in Cranbrook, BC and played some golf as a junior but really took it up seriously about 25 years ago. He played several other sports as a kid but was more competitive in soccer right up into college. We chatted about the great successes of the Royal Colwood Junior Golf Program. Jordan talks in detail about his current job where they capture wildlife for scientific research. Very interesting! Sound editing done by Todd Mason.

Nolan Thoroughgood - 2025 Update

Thanks to Nolan for giving us an update on how things went the past couple of years since our last episode. We get some insight into his time as Assistant Coach of the Oregon State Golf Team. Nolan is currently looking for work – he has an undergraduate degree in accounting, holds a minor in supply chain logistics management and then he did his master’s degree in financial analytics. While working Nolan would still like to keep his competitive game in order and continue playing in some amateur events. Despite knowing that it could be a stretch, some amateur events have qualifying spots in golf’s Major events, so that dream is still alive! We spent a few minutes talking about professional golfers; it was interesting to hear Nolan’s views. Sound editing done by Todd Mason.
