Brandon, Manitoba -- Plans are well underway for the Brandon Wheat King Alumni Association First Annual Golf Tournament, to be held on Thursday, August 6th at Oak Island Golf Resort.The Tournament, which will be open to the public, will serve as the Alumni's major fundraising initiative for 2009. Proceeds from the event, which will be held annually, will go to the Wheat Kings' Scholarship Fund.
With the event only two weeks away, the Alumni Association is reporting that there is room available for several foursomes. To register or for more information, interested golfers are asked to contact the Wheat Kings' office at 726-3535.
The Wheat Kings' Alumni announced last summer that after serving as one of the Presenting Sponsors of the Sly Open Golf Tournament in recent years, the Association would assume operations of the tournament this summer.
The daylong event will begin with a breakfast at Four Seasons Island Resort, to be followed by the Tournament. A banquet will then be held to cap off what will be a busy day at Oak Island Golf.
This year's Tournament is being chaired by Mark Kolesar, with the assistance of the Alumni Executive and other Alumni members.
Designed by Les Ferber, one of Canada's most prolific golf course architects, Oak Island golf resort exemplifies all the best Manitoba has to offer. The A-4 bentgrass greens provide one of the best putting surfaces available.
Entry fee is $150, which will include green fees, golf cart rental, breakfast, dinner, a gift from the Alumni as well as a chance to win some terrific prizes.
