Our Team
Dave Moore
As a Londoner and strong community advocate, Dave Moore is proud to be co-founder of the Brandon Prust Foundation. A longtime friend and mentor to Brandon, Dave initiated the idea of starting their own charity in 2011. Since then, the pair has raised over $400,000 across two golf tournaments to support children battling difficult health challenges.
After running his own successful landscape-design-build company, Dave joined Clintar London as an owner in 2001, bringing a strong operations background and hands-on management style. He graduated from Fanshawe College’s Landscape Design program in 1994 and became a Certified Horticulture Technician in 2004.
Brandon Prust
Born in raised in London, Ontario, Brandon Prust has both family ties and career ties to the Forest City. Prior to being drafted to the Calgary Flames in 2004, Prust played three seasons of OHL hockey for the London Knights, winning a Memorial Cup in 2005. From there, Prust’s professional hockey career has taken him from Calgary, to Phoenix, to New York, to Montréal, and, most recently, to Vancouver.
It was back when Prust was a player for the Knights that he realized his passion to support sick kids. The team would visit the Children’s Hospital at Christmas and bring gifts, an annual gesture that inspired him to do more. After overwhelming support from the first two golf tournaments, he’s excited about what’s next for the young charity.

It’s been down-to-the-last-putt type of golf. The season-ending event on the Mackenzie Tour is more than just who wins, although the big-money purse is a huge incentive to many golfers that go week-to-week to earn a paycheque. Part of the attraction is the game within a game. Only the top 60 golfers play in the championship tournament. The Mackenzie Tour heads to Niagara for the penultimate tournament this weekend. Things can still change but Dan McCarthy, Taylor Moore and Brock Mackenzie look comfortable in the top three spots. But with $200,000 in prize money available in the final tournament, a win by any one of nine players and they can make the jump into the top five. This is the 12th event on the Mackenzie Tour and the battle is to finish the Order of Merit in the top five, who are assured of a spot on the Web.com Tour, one step away from the PGA. Players finishing six through 10 earn an exemption into Web.com Tour qualifying. Whether they are leading in the tournament or not, there’s reason for the golfers to continue to compete. Since 2013, when the tournament was first held in London at Sunningdale Golf Club, 10 players who...
