WEST KOOTENAY LADIES CHAMPIONSHIP
On September 19th, 1933E.W. Hazelwood donated the Hazelwood Cup that was presented to the woman’s champion. Originally the tournament rotated between the three founding clubs: Kaslo, Nelson, and Trail. In 1950 the women from the New Denver GC joined the rotation.
Research in the Canadian Ladies Golf Union annual reports indicates the Kootenay District Women’s Championship replaced this event in 1973. The CLGU BC Branch combined the West and East Kootenay’s regions into one district called the Kootenay District.
In 1965 the Lord Nelson Hotel Trophy replaced Hazelwood Cup. Sometime in the 1960’s each club entered a 4 player team in the Ted Allan Team competition.
The Museum is on the search for any information about this event – especially photos, trophies and memorabilia.
