ItSA国际影视传媒檚 every golferSA国际影视传媒檚 dream: a chance to birdie every single hole on a golf course.

It didnSA国际影视传媒檛 happen on July 10 but thatSA国际影视传媒檚 what could have happened at the Yellowknife Golf Club as it hosted the inaugural Par-3 Two-Person Scramble with a near-sellout on hand for the daySA国际影视传媒檚 action. A total of 96 golfers - 48 teams of two - teed it up in the shotgun-style event, meaning everyone teed off from a pre-determined hole and played scramble rules. ThatSA国际影视传媒檚 where the pairs tee off and plays the second shot from the best of the drives, followed by the next best shot after the second and so on until the ball goes into the cup.

In the end, Jony Bembridge and Kyle Hallett ended up coming out on top with a low-gross score of 4-under-par.

Shaun Morris, the golf clubSA国际影视传媒檚 president, said the entire tournament was a way to help support the clubSA国际影视传媒檚 planned upgrades this season.

SA国际影视传媒淲e have a lot of expensive stuff to get to and this was a great way to help put some money into the bank account to help with that,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淲e were supposed to host this last year but Covid-19 happened so it got pushed back to this year.SA国际影视传媒�

Just to sweeten the honey pot a bit for each player, every hole had a dollar amount attached to it should someone make a hole-in-one. Eleven holes were worth $10,000, three worth $25,000 and four worth $50,000. No one managed to ace any of the holes but there were some close calls.

SA国际影视传媒淚 know two players hit the flagstick at various holes: Jony (Bembridge) and Steve OSA国际影视传媒橦ara,SA国际影视传媒� said Morris. SA国际影视传媒淲e had some get close to within a few feet but no big one.SA国际影视传媒�

Eighteen players did leave with some money, Morris added, as those who managed to be closest to the pin on each hole were able to take part in a draw to win between $100 and $500.

Each hole also had a spotter at the green in case someone did hole it out and Morris said that was a requirement.

SA国际影视传媒淏ecause all of the prizes were insured, we had to have someone there to prove it happened, if it did, in order for the payout to take place,SA国际影视传媒� he said.

The tournament was capped at 100, said Morris, and that also had to do with insurance.

SA国际影视传媒淚f you go over 100, it would cost more to insure each prize because the odds decrease,SA国际影视传媒� he said.

The final tally wasnSA国际影视传媒檛 known as of press deadline but Morris said everyone seemed to take to it and every indication is that it will happen next year.

SA国际影视传媒淲e plan on having it again and I donSA国际影视传媒檛 think weSA国际影视传媒檒l have much of a problem getting to 100 players,SA国际影视传媒� he said.
