50 Year Member - Rupee Pallan

We celebrate Rupee’s 50 years of membership at Royal Colwood.  “Mr. Pallan” is well known in the Westshore area after serving for 35 years in School District 62.  Rupee’s initiation fee 50 years ago was $400 and the monthly dues were $50.  The Pallan family has grown into golf life at Royal Colwood, both Rupee’s sons got involved as Junior’s and now two grandchildren have connections.In his 50 years of membership Rupee has “not” had a hole-in-one at Royal Colwood but he tells another story of getting the first ever hole-in-one at the Tobiano Golf Course in Kamloops, BC.  We spend a bit of time chatting about Rupee’s life around golf and how much golf has changed over the years.Sound editing done by Todd Mason.
