Jeff on the iconic Swilcan Bridge at St Andrews during a
family trip to Scotland. Farewell Jeff and thank you.
Jeff’s 34-year career is the longest tenure of any Canadian golf
association CEO and has had a profound impact on the
Canadian golf industry. From building programs that
delivered real value to golf course owners and operators, to
forging national partnerships, to promoting the many positive
virtues of Canadian golf, his legacy and the NGCOA Canada
will have a lasting benefit on the future of this great game and
the golf business.
Jeff’s dedication, vision, and drive to succeed demonstrate
an outstanding model for successful CEO leadership. Very few
would have taken on the daunting challenge of launching a
not-for-profit with such determination and belief in its
potential, and even fewer could have achieved all that NGCOA
Canada has accomplished since.
On behalf of the National Golf Course Owners Association
Canada, Golf Business Canada Magazine congratulates Jeff
Calderwood for such an amazing career that helped propel the
Canadian golf industry to the heights of its success today.
With NGCOA Canada now on such a solid foundation, the
future of our industry is bright. Thank you, Jeff, and cheers to
a much-deserved and happy retirement!
