Rene Bourgault Legacy Golf Tournament Presented by SYNLawn
Event Information
Description
Come and join the FUN at the inaugural Rene Bourgault Legacy Golf Tournament, presented by SYNLawn on July 15th, 2016 on the Bear Course at the Okanagan Golf Club.
WHAT?
The event features a 9-hole Texas scramble golf tournament, a roast beef dinner, a whole bunch of side games, beverages, food and much more. The tournament is open to all golfers, from complete beginners to seasoned pros. You can sign up as a group, or as an individual and we’ll find a group for you.
WHY?
Rene was a unique person that our community unfortunately lost last August. Rene was a driven and successful entrepreneur and he was passionate about giving back to the community. When Rene started in business, he struggled to secure financing, and was outspoken about creating opportunities for young entrepreneurs. To carry that forward, this event is raising funds to support motivated young people in our community start on their own paths of entrepreneurship and business.
TICKET
Your ticket to the tournament includes a 9-hole Texas scramble tournament on the Bear Course, with carts for each team, a roast beef buffet dinner, raffle and draw prizes.
A portion of the proceeds will also be used to help fund professional and entrepreneurial development programs for local Jaycees. Rene was an engaged member of the Kelowna Jaycees and he had run the golf tournament on previous occasions.
