HELLO CALGARY
THE 2024 SEASON
YEAR NINE
Last season we were stoked to launch our new digital community, GOLF & TACOS Social Club, which provides likeminded golf gals across Canada with a place to meet other golfers at their level in their area. No more feeling intimidated or sitting out because you don’t have someone to golf with. Network, make a friend, find a fourth, or a driving range meet-up. You might just meet your next BFF, coworker, business partner, or in-law! Origin stories of all types have come out of Golf & Tacos events and programs and now we’re making those game-changing connections possible from your phone.
In Calgary, we have tightened up our physical presence within the city at Golf Future and Valley Ridge GC with a crew of golf professionals who will be running programs throughout the season. Operationally, each facility is an independent partner that will offer similar packages bookable on Showpass (facility links provided below). This shift means our partner facilities have the opportunity to integrate Golf & Tacos into their facility in ways that are more sustainable and seamless for all. The reduced number of locations is more manageable for our *very small* admin team.
Please ensure you read the event or program description prior to booking as packages vary by facility based on the facility’s unique amenities and rates.

LOCAL COMMITTEE
CHARLA O'NEILL
CALGARY COMMITTEE LEAD
Charla has played sports her whole life, but it wasn’t until she quit her elementary teacher job in Vancouver and moved to Calgary 8 years ago that she picked up golf. After getting a job in the Oil and Gas industry, she was gifted a set of garage sale clubs (you can’t be in sales and not golf!) and has never looked back! She loves golf for the networking, the time spent outside with friends and clients, the challenge golf offers, and never missing a hot dog on the turn!
JAIDA MACDONALD
CALGARY COMMITTEE LEAD
Jaida picked up a golf club for the first time in 2012 and, like many recreational golfers, developed a love-hate relationship with the sport. It wasn’t until her first lessons with Golf & Tacos that she quickly became addicted to the game—and to the G&T community.
Born and raised in Calgary, she now works for the city she grew up in, helping to build relationships and connection through Communications.
You’ll often find her on the golf course with her G&T gal pals, dressed up in themed outfits, having a time. Jaida is happiest with a spicy margarita in one hand and a fish taco in the other (hold the cilantro).
