Canada's go-to guy for PGA-level golf course renovations likes to reward boldness
Taylor Pendrith plays it safe off the first tee. The long-hitting Canadian pulls a fairway wood and launches what looks like a perfect drive – until it nestles against the steep face of a bunker. Strolling down the fairway, Pendrith turns to Ian Andrew, the 59-year-old golf course architect responsible for the newly placed trap. 'You did that,' he says, half-laughing. Andrew grins. Guilty as charged. Since his renovation of TPC Toronto's North Course two years ago, Andrew has worried: Would his tweaks be an adequate test for the world's best? Or would the pros shrug and shoot a 59? Pendrith's sandy fate during Wednesday's pro-am offered a reassuring answer. Pendrith was annoyed. Andrew was thrilled. Nick Taylor leads trio of Canadians playing together at RBC Open Over the past decade, Andrew has become Canada's go-to guy for PGA-level renovations, having refreshed three of the last four Canadian Open venues. It's a curious line of work. Course designers are part landscaper, part engineer – and part riddler. As he walked the Caledon, Ont., property, Andrew wasn't just sketching bunkers, he was setting up puzzles for the likes of Rory McIlroy to solve. The North Course opened in 2001, part of Osprey Valley's sprawling 54-hole complex conceived by famed architect Doug Carrick. Back then, pros averaged 280 yards off the tee. Now, it's closer to 300, rendering many courses obsolete. In 2023, with the possibility of landing the Canadian Open in sight, Osprey Valley president Chris Humeniuk wanted to revamp the original design and tapped Andrew. 'The aha moment came when I said that I didn't want to build a public course that hosts championship golf, I wanted a championship course that the public can play,' Humeniuk said. 'Ian really embraced that vision. He doesn't get emotionally attached to drawings. He spends a lot of time on site making sure what's on paper makes sense in time and space.' It was a homecoming of sorts. Andrew grew up nearby, a typical kid obsessed with brook trout and the Toronto Maple Leafs. But at 13, he fell in love – with Pebble Beach. Watching the Bing Crosby Pro-Am on TV, he became captivated by the holes themselves. He started sketching courses, memorizing classic layouts and devouring books on design. Family vacations turned into course tours. Barely a teen, he'd already found his calling. He joined Carrick's firm in 1989 before going solo in 2005. For years he avoided working on courses designed by Carrick 'out of respect.' With Osprey Valley's North Course, he finally felt comfortable taking on one of his old boss's works. 'I had a bit of an attachment to the North,' he said. 'I did all the greens as part of my role within the original project and I had been involved with quite a bit of the design.' He wanted to reward boldness. Many of the old fairway bunkers were ornamental, the fairways too generous. The endless hunt for your next, maybe first, great golf shot Like a tailor taking in a baggy suit, he narrowed the corridors, set bunkers just past the 300-yard mark and forced players to alternate between fades and draws. The 15th hole, a short par-4 with a big personality, exemplifies his approach. From a new back tee, a large tree looms along the right edge of a doglegging fairway. Play it safe with an iron left of the tree, and the fairway's tilt might kick your ball into the tullies, leaving you with a long approach – and little chance at birdie. Braver souls might go over the tree and leave a wedge in. The boldest – big hitters with a fade – can aim for the tight gap right of the tree and try to drive the green. 'If you miss that shot and you end up in the woods, that could easily be a six on the scorecard,' Andrew said. 'But if you play too passively, you're essentially playing for par and you may give up a shot to the field. That's where it gets exciting.' At the end of his pro-am round, 2023 champion Nick Taylor seemed adequately puzzled by Andrew's angled fairways. 'If you're missing a lot of fairways, it'll be tough to make birdies,' he said. 'I don't think it'll be a shootout by any means, but there'll be some low scores.' That's the kind of line that lets Andrew breathe easy.

Memorial mass in Vancouver to mark 40 days since Lapu Lapu tragedy
People gather for a candlelight march during a vigil on the street where a vehicle-ramming attack occurred at the Filipino community's Lapu Lapu Day festival last week, on a provincial day of mourning for the victims, in Vancouver, B.C., Friday, May 2, 2025. (Darryl Dyck / The Canadian Press) VANCOUVER — Members of Vancouver's Filipino community and others will honour and pray for victims of the Lapu Lapu festival attack at a memorial mass today, 40 days after the tragedy that left 11 people dead. The date is significant in Filipino Catholic tradition as the end of a mourning period, and Rev. Francis Galvan says he expects the mass at St. Andrew's Parish church in East Vancouver at 6 p.m. to be crowded. Galvan, who is of Filipino heritage and is the pastor at Sacred Heart Parish in Delta, B.C., says it's important for the healing process to be shared. He also says it's important to show solidarity with victims' families by hearing their stories and mourning together. Vancouver police say seven people injured in the attack remain in hospital as of Tuesday afternoon, with six in stable condition and one in serious condition. In a statement issued Thursday morning, advocacy group Filipino BC says the 40th day 'holds deep spiritual meaning.' 'It is believed that the soul remains close to us during these 40 days, before finding peace and fully departing from the physical world.' The statement lists names and ages of all 11 people who died in the attack, who ranged in age from five to 60. 'This is not closure,' Filipino BC said of the 40th day. 'Healing does not follow a schedule. But today offers a moment to pause. To gather. To feel. And to remind ourselves that healing, while difficult, is possible when we do it together.' RJ Aquino, who chairs Filipino BC, said the aftermath of the April 26 attack had cast a shadow over Filipino Heritage Month, which is marked every June. He said some people were still having a difficult time crossing the street or even leaving their homes after the attack, but being with other members of the community is a way to encourage collective healing. The City of Vancouver has separately announced plans for a large-scale memorial event later this month to honour the victims. The 'Come Together: Vancouver Strong,' benefit concert will be held at Rogers Arena, although the exact date has not been set. Attack suspect Adam Kai-Ji Lo faces eight counts of second-degree murder, and Vancouver police have said more charges are expected. He is due back in court on Friday, as preparations to determine if he's fit to stand trial continue. This report by Nono Shen and Brieanna Charlebois of The Canadian Press was first published June. 5, 2025.
