Okanagan Golf Tournament Brings Community Together at Sunset Ranch
KELOWNA, BC – June 11, 2025 – Sunshine, sportsmanship, and a shared love for golf came together at this year’s Okanagan Golf Tournament, held at the stunning Sunset Ranch Golf and Country Club. With 115 registrants filling the course, the event was a resounding success and a highlight on the region’s summer calendar. Hosted under clear skies and a spirit of friendly competition, the tournament provided players with an unforgettable day of golf, camaraderie, and community support. This annual event continues to grow in popularity, drawing participants from across the region. This year’s tournament was made possible by the generous support of Guillevin and City Electric Supply, whose sponsorship helped elevate the event’s experience for all attendees. From powerful drives to putts that just missed the mark, every moment was captured by Sombilon Studios, who beautifully documented the day’s highlights both on and off the green. Participants had the opportunity to relive the day's moment through a photo slideshow. The day was truly a celebration of connection and community. Participants enjoyed the scenic course, relaxed atmosphere, and the chance to reconnect with peers and colleagues in the industry. The event served as a reminder of the value of coming together—not just for the love of the game, but for the shared experience that strengthens professional and personal bonds.
