Only in Alberta! Hot and sunny to hail and rain followed by 90 mph winds. Sound familiar? Of course it does, but again, only in Alberta will you find a hundred people spending four hours enjoying it.
On June 24th, the RCMP Charity Golf Classic raised funds for Youth at Risk Programs and it was once again a huge success. Lots of fun and laughter followed by an excellent meal at the Turner Valley Golf Club and of course some good golfing.
Amazing how we can make one really good shot in the hail and run for cover only to relax and bask in the sun and slice it out of bounds. Or at least I can! Tanya and I enjoyed raising funds as the Mid Iron Marions and we would like to thank the good sports that we out drove (oh sorry….. that out drove us).
Jim Berry and his team, Trevor Hickman, Allen Bekolay and Joel Turcotte took the major prize of the tournament but lots of golfers went home with awesome prizes.
The silent auction was also a success and the contributing businesses should be proud of their assistance.
Many thanks also go to the organizers, Sgt Jim Ross, Cst Tom Christie, who was a great MC, Lynn Williams and Chairperson, Tyler Bray.

See y'all next year!
