Golfers set to tee off in North Stars Golf Classic

Aug 17, 2018 | 8:00 AM

The North Stars Golf Classic is just hours away.

The annual tournament kicks off at noon today, with registration starting at 11 a.m. Seventeen teams have signed up for the event, which will be held at Jackfish Lodge and Conference Centre.

Two of the golfers taking part today are from the newsroom of battlefordsNOW and North Battleford’s radio station the Rock 93.3.

Brady Lang, the morning news anchor, said he’s excited for the event to start up.

“It’s going to be a fun day,” he said. “As long as the weather co-operates and my ball stays on the fairway, I’m happy.”

The Texas Scramble starts at noon to kick off the tournament, with North Stars staff, players, and alumni taking part in the tournament. 93.3 the Rock’s morning man Bryan Flannery will also be playing this year.

“It’s supposed to be a nice day out there, and every day is a good day for golf,” he said. “Getting out there and enjoying the day on a beautiful golf course like Jackfish will be a great way to kick off the start of the Stars’ season.”

A steak supper follows the day of golfing at 5 p.m., and there will be raffle prizes, a 50/50 draw, and a silent auction throughout the day.
