Ninety-three golfers shared $16,000 worth of prizes in this year’s Cariboo Open at the 108 Golf Resort, Aug. 31-Sept. 2.
Shane Wilkie shot an even par 213 over the three rounds to successfully defend his title for the third consecutive time.
Overall low net went to Jason Harris. Tom Huth was second by four strokes, followed by Chris Seeley and Chris Stevens.
First flight low gross went to Jim Zailo, followed by Matt McNeil.
In the second flight, it was Eric Friesen low gross and Phil Bernert low net, followed by Guy Erickson and Al Sidor.
The third flight saw Brad Duncan win low gross and Dan Hadden took low net, followed by Larry Pinkney and Tom Lund.
The fourth-flight low gross went to Al Kregosky and Rob Shields had the low net, followed by Ron Thurston and Gary Desjardines.
When word gets out about the course conditions and prizes, we can expect a lot more golfers next year, as each golfer went home with a dozen Pro V Titleist balls, a participant mug, souvenir booklet and an average of $150 in prizes. There were 50 draw prizes, including patio sets and drivers, at the dinner on Saturday night and 42 prizes were handed out to the winning golfers on Sunday afternoon.
Hats are tipped to the staff of the 108 Golf Resort for a great job.
