The Toolbox

Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - Moose Mountain, Saskatchewan

Take highway 9 north from Carlye or highway 9 / 48 south into the gorgeous Moose Mountain Provincial Park. This jewel of a park has all the ammenites for summer fun; a water park, camping, a lake and lodge. Before the park gates lies the club house for Kenosee Golf Course, a 18-hole beauty with five holes with vistas over the mountain. 
   

The first Kenosee WRLA golf tournament was organized in 1995 by two board members, Ron Paul and Greg McNamara of Beaver Lumber. Don Horvath from D & D Lumbermart made the teams and was the official score keeper. The winning foursome that year was Gino Allegro - Owens Corning, Mike Baudais - Owens Corning, Doug Erickson - North American Lumber and Brian Minish - Northern Specialties. The tournament has kept it’s momentum with Don Horvath taking the organizational reigns from Ron Paul after his retirement.

Once you've had a taste of this late summer tournament it will become an annual pilgrimage! If you don’t want to drive after the tourney book your stay at the Kenosee Inn for a quiet night in the park. Contact Don Horvath for golf registration and golf sponsorship. Forms below, See you in September!
