Golf Saskatchewan will host eight individual championships this season, but will not hold the Women’s Rosebowl or the Mixed Championship in 2020.
The governing body of amateur golf in Saskatchewan made the decision to go ahead with the individual events, because the competitions are tee time formats and can safely follow COVID-19 guidelines for golf set out by the Saskatchewan Health Authority
“This is an exciting day for competitive amateur golfers from across the province. The decision to go ahead with the provincial championships was done in consultation with the Government of Saskatchewan and it will be following the Re-Open Saskatchewan guidelines. The events may have a different feel from the previous championships. However, it will still be a change to get out and compete against other golfers in a competitive and safe format,” Golf Saskatchewan Executive Director Brian Lee said.
The Rosebowl, scheduled for the Katepwa Beach Golf Club and the Mixed Championship that was slated for the Candle Lake Golf Resort in August are shotgun start formats and include banquets for competitors.
Golf Saskatchewan hopes to return to the two host sites in 2021.
The provincial schedule is as follows:
The 102nd Saskatchewan Women’s Amateur Championship (Willows Golf and Country Club) in Saskatoon, July 9-11.
The 94th Junior Boy’s and 70th Junior Girls (Elmwood Golf Club) in Swift Current, July 14-16.
The 109th Men’s Amateur and 34th Mid-Amateur Championships (The Legends Golf Club), Warman, July 21-24.
The 101st Senior Men’s Championship/Mid-Masters/57th Senior Women’s Championship (Cooke Municipal Golf Course), Prince Albert, July 28-30.
