As you are aware, we hosted our premier fundraiser last Thursday - The Grand Golf Bazaar at the Upper Unionville Golf Club in Markham. The event was a huge success courtesy our wonderful golfers, who turned up despite the gloomy weather forecast. Fortunately, the event went ahead as planned and everyone had a day filled with fun, fitness and friendship. The Grand Golf Bazaar was able to raise over $18,000 to support the late Mark Sachvie’s mission to support junior development and grow the game.
This past weekend, over 70 junior athletes switched things up and took to the doubles court at the Granite Club for the 2022 OSDL Ontario Junior Doubles Championships. As always, this event is a great opportunity to introduce our high performance juniors to the game of doubles! It is great to see players who are typically battling it out on the singles court, team up for the weekend.
