A Medicine Hat golfer is aiming to make history.

Michael Valk, a Medicine Hat Rattler, will try to claim Canada’s top prize this week.

Valk is the back-to-back Men’s Individual Golf Champion, ACAC Golfer of the Year, ACAC All-Conference winner, named to ACAC Men’s Team Bronze, and included in ACAC Mixed Team Bronze.

But there’s one accolade that has eluded him.

Valk will this week have one last opportunity to secure a national gold medal at the CCAA Golf National Championship.
