While crowds of people made their way into town to take part in the fesitivities of Billy Barker Days, a few couples escaped the noise and bustle for the greener pastures of the Quesnel golf course.
Known in other towns as ‘The Divorce Open,’ couples played the course, each teeing off and then choosing whose ball they wanted to play, which they would take turns playing until they managed to sink the ball.
This called for not only good golfing, but a steady relationship lest a big number and a small, white ball get between couples.
Justin Neufeld and Nicole Labrecque, from Prince George, came away from the weekend with the low net score. Quesnel locals Dan and Heather Rosengren took the low gross for the weekend.
With a record amount of players for the tournament, the organizers were happy with the outcome.
“It was a pretty big success,” Wendy Heppner, an organizer of the event, said.
“There was lots of support from the community.
Players from Kelowna, Abbortsford, 100 Mile, Prince George and Quesnel were at the course for the weekend.
