with players of all skill levels. During his five years at Shaughnessy, Wade
established himself as one of the top instructors in the lower mainland. As a
member of the UBC coaching staff, he helped to develop and lead the teams to

created is specifically designed to help you achieve all of your playing goals.

Junior golf and the Niakwa junior program are a top priority of Wade’s. The
junior golf program is first class and continues the Niakwa tradition of excellence. The goal of the program is to introduce young players to an amazing
game and club atmosphere, where they can meet new friends and learn to play
at the highest level. The coaches have designed a graduated program that is fun,

gifts you can give a child. It will not only help them develop the skills they
need to be successful in life, but they will gain a sport which they can enjoy
with their family and friends for many years to come.
