The Alberni Golf Club Championship was conducted over the August Long Weekend.
Categories from across the club were represented, culminating in the crowning of our champions for the 2019 season. Beautiful weather for the weekend was capped off by a luncheon following play after the second round on Sunday before the hardware was given out.
Highlights of the weekend included a rare pair of hole-in-ones by Don Nicklin and Jack Sparks and Gwyn Bowen celebrating her 85th birthday on Sunday.
Many thanks to sponsors and volunteers which include: The Alberni Golf Club, the Ladies Club, the Men’s Club, the Pro Shop, Brian Rands (Head Professional), Toni Clackson and Pat Nicklin.
