On Sunday, July 13, Kootenay area golfers will have the opportunity to participate as a team in a local qualifier of the RBC PGA Scramble.  The qualifier will be hosted at St. Eugene Golf Resort.

Now in its 10th year, the RBC PGA Scramble is the largest grassroots amateur golf program in Canada taking place at over 185 locations.

The winners of each local qualifier are invited to participate in one of 13 Regional Finals later this summer.

From there, Regional Final winners will be awarded the chance to participate and win a National Championship at the prestigious Cabot Links Golf Course in Nova Scotia in the fall.

There will also be two guaranteed spots at the National Final for all-female teams.

The program has steadily grown every year with last year featuring over 12,000 participants from coast-to-coast.

Registration for the Cranbrook event closes on July 3 and will have a maximum of 24 teams.

The competition is open to teams of four eligible amateur golfers who all have an up-to-date Golf Canada handicap and are 19 years of age and older.
