Our 2024 Golf NS Men’s Four-Ball Championship was a great event that kicked off the champion season. Being played at two courses this year, participants had the opportunity to play both Berwick Heights Golf Course and Paragon Golf & Country Club. With this added challenge, the participants played through 36 holes on two different courses, with beautiful golfing weather each day. When it came time to crown a champion, it was a close call, but in the end, Brett McKinnon and Jamie Sweet took the title with a final score of -12 after the two days. Congratulations to all of the division winners!

This week we celebrated Women’s Golf Day by highlighting female golf professionals, female players and all-female staff in the golf industry at our member clubs. The purpose of this week is to empower and engage female golfers to help make the golf industry more accessible to them, all while growing the game of golf.
