We are proud  to have Canadian Tire in Port Perry as our Title Sponsor for this year’s In The Ruff Golf  Tournament. Terry Leitch and her staff have been involved with this event since the beginning, and we are thrilled to have their support again this year.

The 3rd Annual In The Ruff Tournament is on June 25th at Oakridge Golf Club in Port Perry. The shotgun start goes at 2pm, followed by a yummy dinner with plenty of prizes and draws. This is a social tournament for golfers of all abilities. The registration is just $125 per golfer and that includes 18 holes of great golf, a power cart, golfer gift bag, dinner, and tiem on the driving range. We also have longest drive, closest to the pin and putting contests with great prizes.

Registration opens soon and if you don’t have a foursome, we’ll be pleased to match you up with a great group.

Big thanks to our friends at Canadian Tire!!!

Huge thanks to the following for their very kind donations:
