 15th Annual William G. Rose Memorial Golf Tournament

On Friday 14th July, 2023 the Michipicoten Golf Club was home to the 15th annual William G. Rose Memorial Golf Tournament.

An amazing day welcomed 138 golfers. As always, the staff of the golf club worked diligently to ensure the day went off without a hitch. Karl, Monica, Dave, Hayli, Amelia, Danielle, Danica, and Kaisten provided exceptional service to the participants. The greens and grounds crew of Jim, John, Aaron, and Dillon presented the course in tip top shape for all to enjoy.

This year boasted 3 “event” holes providing a chance to each participant to win $25 000 on hole #7 (Mission Motors), a 2023 Ford Bronco Sport on Hole #6 (Northern Lights Ford), or $1000 cash on Hole #3 (Whitefish Lodge). Secondary prizes on Hole #3 were also available to any lucky participant. Nobody was able to capitalize, however, there were a few close calls! Special thanks go to the generous donors for those opportunities.

Funds raised from the tournament assist our bursary for students from both M.H.S and Ecole St. Joseph who plan on furthering their education in a field related to law enforcement. This year our chosen recipients were Amelia Carruthers from Ecole St. Joseph and Julien Robert from M.H.S.

In addition to the bursaries, the committee is excited to be providing a donation to the Royal Canadian Legion.

At the end of the day the following prizes were awarded.
