Vancouver Island’s Hidden Gem
Our club hosted Shelly Stouffer, the B.C.’s leading senior women’s golfer, for nine holes and lunch on Friday, October 5. Nanoose Bay resident Stouffer’s most recent achievement was winning the medalist honours among 138 players in the stroke play segment at the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur in Washington State. Although she finished second (3-2) in the match-play final to Nadene Gole, who is currently ranked No. 116 in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking®, making her the highest-ranked female senior golfer in the world, Shelly is no slouch herself, currently holding the 260th position for the last 18 events in the WAGR. In the photo, Shelly is accompanied by Club President Tom Andrews on the left and member Ed Chan.
The Mount Brenton Pub will be closed until noon on Monday, Oct. 7, for routine kitchen maintenance. The vent hood and duct are being cleaned.
BRONZE LADIES WIND UP, 2024
On Monday, September 30, 38 women played our season’s final game. Before starting the game, we had a fun putting contest, which Karen Manning won with 130 points! Wow!
Following our game of best ball and many skill contests along the way, we had our AGM at the Mount Brenton Pub. I’m happy that 42 of 51 members attended the meeting. We had lots of laughs, many door prizes, and elections. Thanks also to Rachel for a lovely meal.
This is a fun group of ladies who have always given back to Mount Brenton by contributing to Jan Best’s ALS marathon and the club’s junior program. The 50/50 money ($203.50) from our field day goes to the Junior Program. Susan Mulcahy, who won the 50/50, generously donated her winnings to the junior program. The Bronze League donated over $400 to the junior program this year.
Our league is a diverse community, with many non-Mount Brenton members, some even from Nanaimo, who pay a green fee each week to play. In past years, a few have become members. You don’t need a golf handicap to join this league; you need a sense of humour and a love for the game. Everyone is welcome here.
If you want to meet new people, have fun, and enjoy the game of golf, we would love to have you join us next year. Our league is all about camaraderie and good times. Our first day of play will be April 7, 2 pm. We can’t wait to see you there!
Kudos to the Senior Men’s League for taking the initiative on a junior membership.

To keep things fresh, we’ve introduced a new award in our league this year—the “Senior Sandman of the Year” award, which will be given to the player with the lowest net average score for the year. The inaugural winner is Mark Palmer, with an impressive average net score of 72.67.
Exciting news! The Senior Men’s League at Mount Brenton is thrilled to announce that our league will fund a junior golf membership each year. We strongly encourage other leagues to recognize the value of supporting junior golf and consider taking similar actions. Let’s all come together to impact the future of golf positively!
Mount Brenton’s board of directors would like to thank Senior League organizers Dale Neubauer and Don Campbell for making the Senior League so successful. Credit also to our other league major duomos, Bev Bruce (two leagues), Debbie Henzie, Jayne and Seamus Power, Jody Griffiths, and all their committee members.
The Senior Men’s League played its end-of-season league scramble on Wednesday, Oct. 2.
This league is about playing with new or different players, learning from each other, and making new friends.
It is perfect for new members to meet other golfers. We hope to have an even bigger league next year.

The Golf Course
Mount Brenton Golf Course opened in 1948 and celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2023. The par 71/73 course, Vancouver Island’s Hidden Gem, is in the scenic, historic town of Chemainus, Canada’s Mural Capital. With shaded fairways flanked by towering firs, the course also features willow, hemlock, maple, scotch, ponderosa pine, sequoia, cedar, dogwood, and giant cottonwood. The course is challenging for every level of golfer; there are creeks to hurdle and ponds to circumvent. Maintained by an excellent grounds crew, the fairways are lush, the greens are true and tricky, and the sand is deep. An extensive drainage system also makes Mount Brenton one of the most playable golf courses year-round on Vancouver Island. Book a tee time today and come and see for yourself.
