Kicking off Season 2 of the A.V. Macan Podcast, we're joined by Royal Colwood Member Doug Hastie. Doug is currently working for Golf Canada as the Director for Western Canada. Doug learned his golf from none other than George Knudsen at The National Golf Club, he obtained his Class "A" Professional designation in 1993 and has held numerous golf management and teaching roles over his career.
Doug spends time on the podcast talking about Golf Canada's 1st Tee Program and it's mandate, he also provides details on the National Golf League (NGL) and then provides us with things we can expect at the Canadian Women's Amateur being hosted by Royal Colwood this summer (29 July - 2 August). Doug is encouraging Royal Colwood Members to be an event volunteer by caddying, billeting or even sponsoring the tournament.
Doug has played nearly 300 golf courses around the world and rates Royal Dornoch and Spyglass Hill as very memorable.
