It was a tee-rific day on the green

A rainy start to the day didn’t dampen golfer’s spirits at the YEG Real Estate Industry Golf Tournament on Wednesday, Aug. 2! Our first-ever sold-out tournament in Edmonton saw 144 golfers cruising the greens at The Quarry, playing games and chatting with our wonderful sponsors, before convening at the clubhouse for prizes and a delicious steak banquet lunch to celebrate the day.
 
Here are our top five favourite moments from the tournament:
 
1. You teed up for the Edmonton Food Bank! 
Our lovely attendees raised an incredible $1,625 for the Edmonton Food Bank from the sale of mulligan and raffle tickets alone! We also received plenty of food donations – our donation table was overflowing! Thank you for your generosity, you truly showed the community spirit of the Alberta real estate industry.
 
2. The winners take it all! 
Congratulations to all of our tournament and raffle draw winners! There were eleven raffle prizes up for grabs; the grand prize draw ticket took home an adventure prize pack that included a Coulee Go smokeless firepit, grill pack and two luxury camp chairs.
 
Tournament winners:
 

• First Place (with bragging rights for a whole YEAR) - Shawn Jewers, Shawn Thompson,
  ​Mike Thompson and Sandy Fisher
• Second Place – Brian Worsdall, Justin Vion, Carlo Caputo and Michael Wong
• Men’s Longest Drive – Rob Lamb
• Ladies longest Drive – Lynda Picado
• Closest to the Pin – Blaine Ginther

 
3. There were games a-plenty! 
Golf wasn’t the only game being played on the course – CMLS Financial had a fiery axe-throwing competition going at Slate 4, Sagen had a fierce putting competition on the putting green, and Litco Law had golfers on Slate 6 trying their luck at chipping into a net.
 
4. Hole in… almost one? 
The hole-in-one, sponsored by B2B Bank, saw plenty of hopefuls come and try their hand! With $25,000 on the line, golfers did their best – and while a few landed on the green, no one quite managed to bag that ace. There’s always next year – start practicing now! 

5. Snacks on snacks on snacks! 
Fat Franks on Slate 1, sponsored by Frost Valuations, and the Ice Cream Truck on Granite 1, sponsored by Bourgeois Brooke Chin Associates, kept the golfers spirits up with delicious hot dogs and ice cream treats!
