With a rich background spanning from grassroots beginnings to national accolades, Ward’s journey in golf has been nothing short of exceptional.

Ward’s journey in golf began at the age of 8 at the Gage Golf Club in Oromocto. His passion and dedication led him through a distinguished high school career at Oromocto High School, where he twice earned the title of team MVP during his four-year tenure with the golf team.

Following his high school success, Ward embarked on a path of professional development through Holland College’s Golf Club Management/Professional Golf Management programs. His collegiate journey culminated with three impactful years as a varsity golfer for the Holland Hurricanes, during which he participated in the CCAA National Championship. Notably, Ward received dual honors as a CCAA academic all-Canadian and an ACAA all-conference player, showcasing both his academic and athletic prowess.

Transitioning seamlessly from his collegiate career, Ward attained PGA of Canada membership and began his professional journey as an Assistant Professional at Kingswood in Fredericton. His relentless pursuit of excellence and dedication to his craft earned him Class “A” status within the PGA of Canada in just three years. Ward continued to expand his professional repertoire as an Associate Professional at the Chester Golf Club in Nova Scotia, proudly serving as a Cobra Puma staff professional.

In 2023, Ward’s exemplary contributions to the golfing community were recognized as he emerged as a finalist for the  PGA of Canada Atlantic Class “A” Professional of the Year award.
