The 20-year-old Digby native, who now studies and plays golf at Radford University in South Carolina, shot a 67 and 64 on Aug. 22 and 23 to win the Digby Pines Mens Golf Club Championship.
Ben Prince presented Creighton with the J.B. Prince Trophy at the awards ceremony.
Prince donated the trophy to the club in 1946 or 47.
“Nick Nickerson told me at the time, this was the only way I was going to get my name on the trophy,” he said.
The club asked Prince to present the trophy and the other awards for the championship division as a way to recognize and thank him for his contribution to the club over the years.
They also had Bill Nickerson, pro at the club for 30 years, present the prizes and awards for the first division; and Buddy Barr, the oldest member of the club presented the prizes and awards for division 2.
Creighton’s score of 131 over two days is very likely a club championship record - as far as anyone knows, no one has ever shot lower than that over the two days of the club championship.
The course record during competition is 63 set by Shawn Grinton from PEI. Digby’s Eric Locke set the non-competitive course record of 60 last year.
Joanne Halliday won the Ladies championship.
