33 Years of Competition in the summer has shown a few new faces on the championship blocks.

220+ golfers teed it up over 3 days of competition.

A lot of the Champions were decided by count back while most were won by just one stroke.

Sponsors made this whole event possible and many, many thanks go out to them for the continued support they have shown.

The Grande Prairie Golf & Country Club were once again the perfect hosts. Everything was in order and the hospitality was second to none.

This year a returning champion lead the tournament from start to finish.

Championship Flight: This year’s tournament returning champion is Mark Catling with a 208 over 3 days. In second place was Scott mcFarlane with a three day total of 208

1st Flight: Daryl Dubois’ 243 was just enough to edge out Fraser Galipeau’s 244

2nd Flight: Darren Hart edged out Norm Bessette with a 244 over 245

3rd Flight: Rob Petrone (can you believe it, this guy hits from the very forward tees in the Fort St John Oilmen’s) wins by a score of 248 over Dean Schmied’s 249

4th Flight: Korey Robbins was 260 over Gordon Little’s 261, way to go Korey

5th Flight: Jim Hunter with a 248 finishes a head of Russ Radke who shot a three day total 268 who finished second in a countback.

6th Flight: Cliff Mowatt triuphs over Terry Tucker by 2 strokes to win with a three day total 270

7th Flight: Gary (why you gotta be that way) Sveinson ties with Bruce Nash with a 276 but Gay wins in a count back making him 7th Flight champion

8th Flight: Bruce Clarke (Can you believe it – he wasnt on the river) wins with a 277 over Ben Radke’s 281

9th Flight: Darren Aylsworth shoots 290 to finish 1 stroke ahead of Ken Leslie with a 291 to capture the flight crown

10th Flight: Lance Guest pulls a 292 out of the bag to take the belt away from Bill Grossman who finished with 294. 

11th Flight: Dalton Wiens managed a well shot 306 to defeat Tim Beacok who shot a three day 308

12th Flight: Terry Pratt made the trip north from Calgary to shoot a 315 twhich proved to be enough to take the titel over John Patrick who shot 318

13th Flight: Rob Oakley completed the morning shift with a 327 over Dewy Evans with a 328.

Thanks for the memories, laughs and even a few headaches.

Congratulations to all our Champions for a job well done.
