Kindersley Chamber hosting 3rd annual golf tournament

By Joan Janzen

Golf tournaments are one of the most enjoyable parts of summer, and the Kindersley & District Chamber of Commerce is inviting golfers to their Golf Invitational. Registration will be held Saturday morning, August 26th, prior to tee off. Nikki Meschishnick will be there to welcome all the participants and take in registrations.

“We started planning last year after the last one, because it hadn’t been done for many years. Now people just take it for granted we’re doing it,” Kevin Martin, the Chamber’s Executive Director, explained.

Their third annual tournament will include eighteen 4-person teams. “We will likely meet our limit,” Martin noted. So far, all the teams registered are from Kindersley. It looks like it’s destined to be a fun time for everyone, with golfers looking forward to all the fun activities taking place at different holes.

“We have a lot of hole sponsors. Ford is sponsoring a hole-in-one this year for $10,000!” Martin said. Kelly Insurance is sponsoring a putting contest after the golf tournament, with a $500 booze basket as the prize.

“There’s a steak dinner afterwards and a lot of prize giveaways,” Martin added. The silent auction is stocked with items, including a Roughrider hoodie and a good selection of prizes from SaskTel.

As MC for the evening, Martin said everybody is guaranteed to take home a prize. “Nobody walks away without something,” he said. “We’re not worried about having professional golfers; we want people to have a good time.”

Now they’re hoping for the weather to cooperate on the day of the tournament. “That will make a big difference,” Martin concluded.
