NEWS RELEASE
RBC PGA SCRAMBLE
*********************
On July 14 and July 18, Collingwood area golfers will have the opportunity to participate as a team in a local qualifier of the RBC PGA Scramble.
The qualifiers will be hosted at Duntroon Highlands (July 14) and Cranberry Golf Course (July 18).
Now in its ninth year, the RBC PGA Scramble is the largest grassroots amateur golf program in Canada taking place at over 170 locations.
The winners of each local qualifier are invited to participate in one of 13 regional finals later this summer.
From there, regional final winners will be awarded the chance to participate and win a National Championship at the prestigious Cabot Links Golf Course in Nova Scotia in the fall.
At select local qualifiers and regional finals, one spot will be awarded to the team with the lowest net score and one spot will be awarded to the team with the lowest gross score. There will also be two guaranteed spots at the national final for all-female teams.
The program has steadily grown every year with last year featuring over 12,000 participants from coast to coast. To register or see a full list of local qualifiers in your area, golfers can visit rbcpgascramble.
Registration closes ten days prior to each event (the Duntroon qualifier will have a maximum of 36 teams). The competition is open to teams of four eligible amateur golfers who all have an up-to-date Golf Canada handicap and are 19 years of age and older.
