We would like to congratulate Susan & Philip Morris on winning our 2026 Mixed Club Championship this past weekend. It was a wonderful two days of competitive fun between all golfers and we would like to thank everyone who participated. Our Club Championship is just 5 days away so be sure to register before then

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves

Due to the amount of rainfall and water on the course we will be closed today

What a beautiful day we had hosting our Ladies Day. A score of 71 won the day but all had plenty of laughter and fun. Thank you all for playing and enjoying the day. Shoutout to Samuel's Sammiches and Sweets for catering the event and Speedy Glass Corner Brook for the prize donations. Looking forward to many more in the future

We have received our Nike clothing and everything is ready for sale. Due to ordering mid season there were limited stock available so make sure to come by the clubhouse and get yours before they sellout.

This will be a trial run for our club as we see what kind of interest there is before ordering a bigger supply for next season.

And just like that, our 2026 Jr. Golf Program has come to an end. What an exciting last day today as some of our athletes participated in our Jr. Club Championship. We had some amazing shots and moments throughout and we can’t thank our volunteers enough. Special shoutout to our coaching staff this season as they made sure to embrace every day with positivity, fun, and an upbeat atmosphere. We can’t wait to do it all again next season. Lastly we’d like to shoutout our three Jr. Golf Sponsors this year. Buckingham Holdings (2010) Inc Harbour Financial Group & Arthur James Clothing Company. Your donations are appreciated more than you know.

Marilyn Saunders

Blomidon Golf Course

Bio: I am a retired nurse who grew up in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador. My husband Fred and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary this year. We have two daughters.

1. What is your full name?
Marilyn Saunders

2. Where were you born? Where do you live today?
I was born in North West River, Labrador and I reside in Corner Brook, NL.

3. What would people be surprised to learn about you?
I was painfully shy as a child and wouldn’t talk to people if I didn’t know them.

4. Are you a member of a golf club and what club? Who do you regularly play golf with?
I've been a member of Blomidon Golf Club since 2000. During the week I golf with Alfreda Cassell, Maisie House and Melinda Coles. On the weekends my husband, Fred & I usually golf with other couples.

5. What's your favorite course that you have played?
My favorite course is Terra Nova, although Mill River in PEI is right up there as well. I would love to play the Old Course at St. Andrew’s, Scotland.

6. Where and when did you start golfing?
I started golfing in a few fun tournaments and really enjoyed it. My husband surprised me with a membership at Blomidon in 2000. He taught me how to golf, I’ve never taken a lesson.

7. Can you (briefly) tell us your most memorable golf experience. What is your greatest golf accomplishment?
My most memorable golf experience and my greatest golfing accomplishment would have to be the same - winning the Ladies Championship at Blomidon in 2024.

8. Can you (briefly) tell us your funniest golf experience.
We went to Clovelly, St. John’s a few years ago and when we arrived at the first green, we didn’t have our putters. We’d been practicing in our basement and forgot to put them back in our golf bags. Luckily the gentleman we were golfing with allowed us to use his putter. We all had a great laugh over that.

9. How do you like to relax?
I like to relax by playing golf, reading and visiting our daughters. Someone asked me one time “ don’t you find golf stressful?” At the time I was working and I said, “I leave work stressed, I come up here and by the time I’ve reached hole #3, my stress is gone.”

10. What is your most treasured golf possession?
It’s a toss up between my $5 rock wedge (gets me out of trouble without damaging my good clubs) and my ball retriever. LOL!

11. What is your best/worst quality on the golf course?
My best quality is not allowing hazards to affect my game while my worst quality is my inconsistency with my chipping and putting.

12. What 3 professional golfers would complete your dream foursome for a round of golf?
I’d like to golf with Brooke Henderson, Cory Connors and Mike Weir.

13. What 3 Newfoundlanders, past or present, would you like to join you at a dream dinner?
My husband, Fred, brother, Russ and sister in law, Judy so we could reminisce about previous golf trips and plan future golf trips.

14. Have you ever had a hole-in-one? When and where?
I haven’t yet had a hole in one but hopefully there’s one in my future.

15. What is your best score ever? When and what course?
My best score ever is 82 at Blomidon in 2017.

16. What is your favorite/least favorite golfing hole on a Newfoundland & Labrador golf course?
My favorite hole is Hole #8 at Terra Nova and my least favorite is Hole #5 at Terra Nova.

17. What do you think is the worst rule in golf and how would you change it?
Playing out of a divot. I would reclassify it as ground under repair.

18. What advice would you give to a young golfer starting to play golf today?
Take lessons, have fun and don’t sweat the bad shots, even the pros have those. I always say “a great day, great company, a great round of golf is the bonus.”

Congrats to all our Blomidon golfers!!!
