Can a Scratch Golfer Beat a Pro at The Springs Course?

The Columbia Valley Golf Trail series continues at one of the region’s most scenic and beloved courses — The Springs Course at Radium Hot Springs. Known for its mountain views, rolling fairways, and perfectly conditioned greens, it’s the kind of course that can inspire your best golf.

For Ryan Ruffels, it did just that. Joined again by Malosi Togisala, this video poses the big question: can a scratch golfer beat a pro? What started as a friendly match quickly turned into a showcase of skill, consistency, and a few clutch moments under pressure.

The result? One of Ryan’s favorite rounds of the entire trip — and his lowest score ever while filming. You’ll want to watch until the end to see just how low he goes.
