Pat Fletcher was one of the greatest golfers ever to come out of Victoria and Canada. Before he turned the trick at Point Grey in 1954, no Canadian had won the Canadian Open since 1914 and no Canadian has won the Canadian Open since. The Oak Bay High School graduate turned to caddying at the Victoria Club to make some money during the depths of the Depression. That, along with the encouragement of club pro Phil Taylor was the introduction to what became a long and glorious association with the game. Pat won the Canadian PGA in 1952 and was low Canadian at the 1953 Open at Scarborough. Other career highlights included winning the Saskatchewan Open in 1947, 1948 and 1951, the Alberta Open in 1946, the Quebec Spring Open in 1956 and 1957 and he was runner-up in the 1968 CPGA Seniors. Away from competition, Pat was a caddie, club manager, club professional and three-term president of the Canadian Professional Golfers' Association. He was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame and the RCGA Sports Hall of Fame.
Rosemary Fuller was one of the greatest female softball pitchers of all-time. Her arm was truly a thing of wonder as she accumulated a remarkable record of 490 wins to just 48 losses in senior club play and for Canada internationally. In 1970 coach Walter Yeamans convinced the 16-year-old to play with the senior Victoria Vikettes. The team won silver at the 1974 Canada Games and she went on to travel to Vancouver every weekend to play for the Doc's Blues, later Alpha Sports, who were a national championship dynasty from 1975 to 1983. With Rosemary throwing, the Doc's Blues won six Canadian women's Senior 'A' championships in the 1970's and, representing Canada, finished second in the world in 1978 and third in 1983. There wasn't a pitcher - catcher combination anywhere in the world that could match Fuller and Joanne Mick. And as a pitcher alone, there were few, if any, who could match Rosemary Fuller's speed and precision. She was named top pitcher at nineteen tournaments or championships.
