Jamie Kureluk, From Cottonwood Golf And Country Club, Shot Seven Birdies And Two Eagles On The Back Nine At Carnmoney On Tuesday For A Professional Golf Record Score Of 25, En Route To Winning The RBC Insurance Alberta Open.

People continue to ask what they could relate Jamie Kureluk’s back nine score of 25 during his first round course record score of 61 to in other sports.

Well, considering it’s something that was truly unthinkable, most likely impossible, it would be akin to Jarome Iginla scoring 10 goals in a single period, Henry Burris throwing 12 touchdown passes on 12 pass attempts, Steve Nash potting 80 points in a basketball game, a major league pitcher striking out all 27 batters in a nine-inning game.

Had Stephen Ames or Mike Weir or, yes, Tiger Woods submitted the same card on the same course, it would have been headline news everywhere in the world. But it was Jamie Kureluk, a former Canadian Tour pro and an associate pro at the Cottonwood club, who did the deal. Too bad because a score like that might never be topped. At least on a legitimate par 36 nine holes, one measuring almost 3,500 yards.

Kureluk’s life has changed somewhat because of it. He has gained some notoriety but he really hasn’t been given his due.
