Golf lost one of its legends last week with the passing of Sid Puddicombe.

Beginning his career in 1947 at the Saskatoon Golf & Country Club, then 11 years as the superintendent at Saskatoon’s Riverside Golf & Country Club, Puddicombe moved on to the Royal Mayfair where he was the head superintendent for 20 years winning several awards along the way including the John B. Steel – the Canadian Golf Course Superintendent’s Association’s highest award for excellence in 1997.

In 1982 Puddicombe started his family-owned Sid Puddicombe and Associates golf construction company with his sons Grant, Mark and Tod.
