History of The Hibernian Golf Club



The Hibernian Golf Club was the brainchild of James Dunne Jr. and friends in 1983.

Originally incorporated as "The Hibernain Golf Society, the first official season was in 1984,
and there were 20 members:

James Dunne Jr., James Dunne Sr., Mike Kavanagh, Ed Pedersen, Brendan Lally, Frank Walsh,
Fran Daly, Gregg Heaton, Gary Gann, John Martin, Andy Rasmussen, Sean McDonnell, Pat Nutley,
Des Fussell, Doug Yamamoto, Roy Stevenson, Tom Rees, Joe Polack, Gord Hartney, Vic Heaton.

In 1984 the dues were $60.00, 8 tournaments were played, there were 14 sponsors and the year was topped off with a fund raising social.

Tournament Prizes were awarded based on handicap groups 1-18, 19-26, +26- for low gross
and low net within each group, and a prize was given for closest to the pin.

In 1985, the membership grew to 27- in 1986- 40, 1986-2003- 44, 2004- 48.

In 1985 the Hibernian became the first associate group in Canada to become a member of
the RCGA + BCGA.

In 1990- member- Jim Maddeaux transferred his shares in the United Golfers of N.Americal (1986) to Wayne Zaiser and James Dunne Jr. reincorporated this company -
DBA The Hibernian Golf Club, as a nonprofit, nonreporting club.

The oldest standing members in the club are Joe Stevanak and Wayne Zaiser, both joining
the club in 1986.

The club has come a long way since 1983 - with Match Play, a Stapleford Tournament,
a Texas Scramble Tournament, Pink Ball Tournaments, Majors, a 3 day road trip,
29+ Tournament Sponsors a year, a 13 game schedule, Seniors Low Net Club Championship,
a 14 member executive, a website, a Mr. Hibernian Money Title, and Special Events.

Foremost, the club is living up to the founding member' central themes for the club:
To promote the game of golf.
To encourage the recreational and competitive aspect of the sport.
And to create a social organization centered on golf and related activities.

Thank you to the founding members.
