Kim started golfing when she was eight years old, when her dad taught her to golf at the Valley Road Par 3 Course outside of Saskatoon and she fell in love with the game. In high school she even played on the Evan Hardy Golf Team so the boys could qualify for provincials.
She spent her university summers working at Greenbryre Golf & Country Club in Saskatoon, where she started in the back shop then worked in the restaurant as a waitress and beer cart girl – she still says this was the best “job” she ever had.
Kim spent two years in Calgary doing her MBA and during her time there became an Ambassador with the Golf & Tacos Calgary community. She is thrilled to now be the lead for Golf & Tacos Saskatoon, and bring her love for all things G&T to her hometown.
Her favourite taco spot in Saskatoon is Las Palapas for fresh eats and great drinks!
She looks forward to connecting with all the new members of G&T Saskatoon this year on the links!
Chrissy golfed a bit as a kid but thanks to a golf-obsessed husband, she began to spend more time on the links 8 years ago. She’s excited to help launch Golf & Tacos in Saskatoon to improve her game for when she attends a charity golf tournament at work, or hitting a golf course while traveling.
During the day Chrissy is an Associate with DCG Philanthropic Services, a local fundraising consulting firm.
Outside of work, she keeps busy with her two daughters, volunteering on two boards, and staying active with a few runs, spin or barre classes.
She’s looking forward to enjoying some tacos and gaining new golf girlfriends through this community.
Since finishing a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Management, Celine has built up a background in both talent acquisition & employee engagement, focused in the technology sector over the last 5 years. While Celine may have more experience with the consumption of tacos (thank you Leopold Tavern’s Taco Tuesdays!) than playing a round of golf, she’s very excited to fore-ay (pun intended) onto the greens this summer to learn more about and get involved in this exciting sport. See you out there!
