Going back to 2019, the Yellowknife Golf Club hosted the NWT鈥檚 inaugural RBC Scramble local qualifier on July 20.
Now, in 2022, the club once again hosted the qualifier for several teams that made their way out to compete on Saturday.
The lucky foursome in this year鈥檚 contest out of the 12 participating teams comprised Mike Gagnon, Jimmy Sheenan, Kevin Whitehead and Jeffrey Oldfield.
The crew will make their way to Ponoka, Alta., to play at the Wolf Creek Golf Course for the next RBC Scramble qualifier.
However, instead of them playing as group of four in the south, they鈥檒l actually be a group of five with a pro who will be alongside them.
鈥淜ylie Frederick will actually go with the team and play with them in the tournament zone,鈥 said Shaun Morris, president of the Yellowknife Golf Club. 鈥淪o when they go to the next level, they actually bring the pro with (and) the pro plays with them as well.鈥
Frederick is a CPGA Class A golf professional and the director of golf operations at the club.
