Pat Wilmot
About
Pat was born and raised in Calgary, AB. His passion for golf began at a young age, caddying for his dad before he was able to play himself. Once he could get the ball around the course, he spent his summers at the club from dawn to dusk. Pat began his career in golf at age 15 in the Member Services department at Bearspaw Country Club, and the sport has been his only line of work ever since.
While attending the Professional Golf Management Program at Lethbridge College, Pat turned professional in 2008. Over the next 11 years, he advanced through several roles at Bearspaw—from Apprentice to Associate, eventually becoming Co-Head Professional in his late 20s. When Bearspaw went into receivership in 2019, Pat transitioned to Earl Grey Golf Club as an Associate Professional. After one year, he was named Head Professional in January 2021.
Pat oversees all aspects of Golf Operations and specializes in member relations, club fitting, instruction, and retail management. He is passionate about delivering exceptional service and creating a welcoming environment for members and guests.
During his time at Bearspaw, Pat and his team received the 2017 Pat Fletcher Award as the PGA of Canada Retailer of the Year.
