Tyler Stene New Pro in Prince Rupert Golf Club

Stene says his specialties are short game and junior programs

The Prince Rupert Golf Club has a new pro who plans to add junior programming to the course this season.

Tyler Stene arrived in town three weeks ago from Victoria, where he previously worked as the assistant pro at the Highland Pacific and Cordova Bay courses.

The 33-year-old had a good short game on the Vancouver Island Pro Tour, but says his junior programs are really what made a splash on the island.

“They’re really good,” Stene told the Northern View of his junior programs. “You need that to build the community at a golf course.”

Stene said he already has a few junior programs planned for the club as well as for local schools.

“The newest one is called SNAG,” Stene said. “Starting New At Golf.”
