The 2013 edition of North Island Men’s Open Golf Tournament goes July 6-7 at the Comox Golf Club, with Comox Valley Dodge returning as the title sponsor.
The event, which began in 1937, is one of the oldest held in the province of British Columbia will include an expected field of approximately 100 golfers. “This year marks the 76th edition of the tournament and we are hoping to have a full field of 104 competitors,” a tourney spokesperson said.
This year’s event has a wide open field with notable players such as seven-time winner Greg Koster of Sunnydale, Mitch Carr-Hilton (1997) of Crown Isle and Lawry Willis (1990). Good luck to all of these former champions. In addition, some other players to watch include past club champions Nick Usher, Kyle Mudge, and 2012 champion Tracy Branch.
The players will be competing for approximately $11,000 in prizes as well as hole-in-one prizes including $5,000 in cash sponsored by the Investors Group, a new automobile sponsored by Comox Valley Dodge Chrysler, a 60-inch plasma TV sponsored by the Visual Sound Store, a vacation sponsored by Flight Centre and a set of Calloway Woods sponsored by Rice Toyota.
The tournament is also well supported by several local businesses as well as Gus Baudais, one of our most popular members and a big booster of the Comox Golf Club.
