Nominated by his brother and golf partner Spencer, Brad\u2019s story is one of passion, persistence, and plenty of personal bests.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrad began golfing more often only a few years ago to spend more time with family and friends,\u201d Spencer shared. \u201cThis season, all that time on the course really paid off.\u201d<\/p>\n
And pay off it did.<\/p>\n
\n\t
<\/p>\n
Brad broke 95 for the first time at Minnewasta Golf & Country Club. No small feat on one of Manitoba\u2019s most challenging courses.<\/p>\n
\n\t
\n\t
<\/p>\n
Weeks later, he broke 90, and then went on to post a career-low round of 85.<\/p>\n
\n\t
\n\t
<\/p>\n
In Men\u2019s League play, Brad shone under pressure, carding back-to-back 9-hole rounds of 40 and 39, carrying his team deep into the playoffs.<\/p>\n
\n\t
<\/p>\n
Though the duo\u2019s run ended in the Elite 8, Brad kept swinging, and made Pembina Valley golf history of his own.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when things turned legendary.<\/p>\n
\nBrad shot a stunning 79 at Minnewasta, the kind of score that \u201cseems like a mythical story you\u2019d read to your child at bedtime,\u201d according to Spencer. But Brad wasn\u2019t done yet.<\/p>\n

He followed it up with one of golf\u2019s most elusive accomplishments: a hole-in-one on the par-3 12th hole at Scottswood Links, using what his brother calls his \u201cmagic wand\u201d — a newly purchased hybrid club.<\/p>\n
Beyond his stats and storybook shots, Brad is celebrated for his attitude on and off the course.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrad is one of the most enjoyable people to play golf with and be around,\u201d his brother said. \u201cHe\u2019s always supporting others, keeping everyone\u2019s spirits up, and somehow staying cool under pressure like ice cubes that wouldn\u2019t melt in a sauna.\u201d<\/p>\n
