The Best, by Par!
When one of Canada’s premier private golf clubs is ranked 17th by Score Golf Canada, there is an expectation of excellence. A progressive facility, The Blackhawk Golf Club, prides itself in having the resources to prioritize their members and elevate their course. That can only happen with a solid team. Entering his tenth season with the club and meeting all of those expectations, is head golf professional, Kevin Chow.
One might assume that Chow had been groomed for a life on the links. Not so. Although academically and athletically inclined, golf was never on his radar. But a solid swing at the age of sixteen catapulted him into a career in golf. Turning pro three years later, and graduating with a diploma from the Professional Golf Management program from Grant MacEwan, Chow embodies the sentiment of ‘do what you love’ and ‘love what you do’.
For now, Chow likens his training to cramming before an exam and is turning to Edmonton’s Jordan Jeske, creator of THE PROJCT, for a six week intensive program leading up to the golf season.

With outdoor recreation exploding over the past year, Chow says that Covid restrictions have influenced the culture of golf. “It’s switching from carts to walking and we’re embracing that shift. This is the way golf was meant to be played. There is a certain rhythmic aspect of walking a golf course, walking from shot to shot, playing golf in its truest form.” Chow is anticipating another similar season ahead and hopes this change will have a lasting impact on the golfer’s health and wellness. “Ultimately, I just want people to enjoy the game of golf.”
