Local golf pro third in B.C. for Community Engagement
The PGA of BC recently announced the final standings of the 2025 Replay Golf Supplies Community Engagement Program and Copper Point Golf Club’s Scott McClain has finished tied for third.
For the second consecutive season, Ryan Tofani (Sandpiper Golf Course) led all PGA of BC professionals in the program, demonstrating his commitment to Association and community initiatives.
The Replay Golf Supplies Community Engagement Program aims to recognize golf professionals across British Columbia who prioritize community involvement, public volunteerism, and other charitable efforts outside the golf industry.
This initiative rewards active involvement in key community events like the Golfathon for ALS, Junior Golf Week and Women’s Golf Week, with points awarded for promoting, participating in, and fundraising for these and other community initiatives.
The program also values broader community involvement, such as volunteer work, engagement in other sports, and various fundraising activities, recognizing the diverse contributions of golf professionals beyond the course.
The program places a strong emphasis on the use of social media as a powerful tool for professionals to positively promote the PGA of BC, including education events and tournaments.
Tofani earned 35 points in 2025 through his participation in initiatives like the Golfathon for ALS and Canucks Junior Golf Week, consistent positive representation of the PGA of BC brand through social media activity and coverage in traditional media, recognition through the PGA of BC Awards, and community sport assistance.
“It’s an honour to be the back-to-back champion of our Community Engagement Program. It’s such a great way for our professionals to develop their brand, stay engaged within the community and further develop the image of the PGA of British Columbia and all of our professionals,” said Tofani.
Demonstrating his own drive to positively influence his Association and community, Derek Orr (Iron & Wood Golf Simulators) earned second place with 34 points. Orr showed a season-long dedication to the Community Engagement Program through his engaging social media content, participation in initiatives like Canucks Junior Golf Week, and through charitable work and sport assistance to give back to his community.
Scott McClain (Copper Point Golf Club) and Kyla Inaba (Predator Ridge Golf Resort) tied for third place with 27 points.
Chris Ward (Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club) earned fifth place with 26 points.
