The Canada Summer Games provides a national platform for young golfers to compete at an elite level, representing their provinces and territories. As part of the multi-sport event, golf showcases top junior athletes, helping them gain valuable experience in a high-performance environment.
The competition follows a stroke play format, with both individual and team events, allowing players to test their skills against the best in the country.
Beyond competition, the Games foster sportsmanship, personal growth, and the development of future Canadian golf champions.
Canada Summer Games
Golf made its debut at the 2009 Canada Summer Games in Prince Edward Island. Team BC swept the gold medals taking home top honours in the men’s and women’s team competitions, as well as individual gold for Eugene Wong of North Vancouver and Sue Kim of Langley. In the next edition of the Canada Summer Games in 2013 held in Quebec, Team BC repeated its success, taking the gold in both men's and women's team and individual competitions, this time it was Coquitlam's Kevin Kwon and Taylor Kim of Surrey with the individual titles for BC.
In 2017 Alisha Lau was the silver medallist for the women, helping the Team BC women also take silver, while Tristan Mandur took the men's individual bronze while helping his men's Team BC squad capture a silver medal.
