Looking ahead to 2025 - John McMillan & Adam Trevor
To start 2025, I sat down with two long-time Royal Colwood members (Adam Trevor – 25 yrs and John McMillan – 48 yrs to chat about the coming year. We found that even though we wanted to talk about 2025, we still talked about the past!
John remembers watching the 1976 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship held at Royal Colwood and the battle between Jim Nelford and Rafael Alarcón. That was the 2nd straight Canadian Amateur win for Nelford, Alarcón later won the 1979 event in Brantford Ont.
Royal Colwood also hosted the 2013 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship where Eli Cole defeated both Corey Connors and Taylor Pendrith by 1 stroke.
2025 will see lots of good golf at Royal Colwood and foster strong camaraderie amongst the members.
Happy New Year!
