GOLFOMAX owner joins OVGA Board:

In April 2019, Dru Lafave became the new Tournament Chairman of the Ottawa Valley Golf Association. “My primary focus will be to help grow the level of participation in all the OVGA tournaments in the region.” In 2022, he assumed the role as President. ” It has been an honor to support and promote amateur golf in the region. Always great to see keen golfers out trying to test their skills against their peers”.

CHEO SPONSORSHIP

, For our 2024/25 30th Anniversary we held a CHEO Fundraiser throughout the season. This was culminated with a special charity golf tournament held at the Kanata Golf Club on June 9th with 132 enthusiastic participants.

Thanks to the generosity of our GOLFOMAX Patrons, Sponsors, Staff, Family, Friends, and Members of the Golf Community, we were able to raise $58,580.

Our 25th anniversary tournament scheduled for Eagle Creek in June 2020 had to be cancelled due to the covid pandemic. Our 20th anniversary tournament was held in June 2015 at Kanata Golf Club where we raised $14,000
for CHEO.

HONORARY LIFETIME MEMBERS

With our 20th milestone season in 2015, we granted one of our longest playing patrons with an honorary lifetime membership. Ralph “Mick” McClean was a long time member at Hylands. He played at the Max twice weekly ever since we opened in 1995. He probably played more rounds of golf and drank more coffee than anybody else over the years. After his rounds, he enjoyed his usual pint and hot dog in the lounge with his buddies, telling tall stories about his golf game and past career in the Navy. He passed away in May 2021 at the age of 93.

Mick joined Lloyd Swick, another long time patron who unfortunately past away in January 2017 at the age of 94. Lloyd was given an honorary membership in 2012, in part because he was a very sweet guy and always keen to work on improving his game. This was also in recognition of Lloyd being the driving force behind the War Animals Memorial unveiled at Confederation Park in November 2012.

KANATA GOLF CLUB CHAMP.

GOLFOMAX owner Dru Lafave captured his second Kanata Senior Men’s Championship in August 2023 in a four hole playoff after a final round 69. His first win was in 2017 when he also won the Match Play Championship and the Senior Net Match Play Championship.
