It was a tale of two days at the Yellowknife Golf Club over the weekend. One day orange, one day cloudy.
But at the end of the day, the Yellowknife Golf Club Championships went off without too much of a hitch and there are five new champions crowned, each with their own personal parking spot for the 2024 season.
The tournament is usually held in late August, but the evacuation played games with the schedule. Even then, there was the worry that the sky that greeted the capital on Saturday may push things back even further. The original tee-off time was set for 10 a.m., but that was delayed by an hour to see if things would clear up.
SA国际影视传媒淚 thought the delay would be good,SA国际影视传媒� said Kylie Frderick, the clubSA国际影视传媒檚 head pro and director of golf operations. SA国际影视传媒淚 took out one of the glowballs we had and I could see that, so everyone was able to play.SA国际影视传媒�
It was the complete opposite on Sunday as the smoky sky gave way to cloudy conditions and a spot of rain in the late morning.

The players were placed into foursomes for round one and played 18 holes to get their score. Round two on Sunday saw the players grouped together based on their round one scores with the best golfers playing together. Round two is normally played under tee-off times, but the conditions forced the format to be changed to a shotgun format. That meant every foursome teed off from a pre-determined hole to play their round.
The men started on the first, while the women teed off from the 10th.
When all was said and done, Jake Roche ended up winning the menSA国际影视传媒檚 title, while Meredith Wilson copped the womenSA国际影视传媒檚 crown. Andy Couvrette once again won the senior menSA国际影视传媒檚 division, Pim Wangyao took top honours in the senior womenSA国际影视传媒檚 group and Dylan Cummings captured the junior title.
This was the last scheduled club tournament of the season; there are a couple more events being hosted by the Mediocre Golf Association down the home stretch along with the final events for menSA国际影视传媒檚 and womenSA国际影视传媒檚 nights at the club.
