The Orcas Golf Club is bringing back the Asper Open Golf Tournament Monday Aug. 20 at 5 pm. Its been a lot of years since this tournament has been played but due to its format it is still often talked about from the long time Orcas Island golfers. The Asper Open was put on by Harold Asper who passed away recently and it was played with ONLY 1 club and your putter.
And be ready to sign up for the 2012 Club Championship. The tournament will be played Aug. 25 (exceptions can be made if you need to play early). This year we are growing the tournament a little, we will be doing a more traditional Club Championship. We will have an 18 hole tournament, then the top players from each category will play a match play tournament during the following week. Titles will be award to the last players standing in each division. Player divisions are: Ladies, Senior (55+), Super Senior (70+), Men Low Net, Ladies Low Net, and overall Club Champion.
Sign up for these events at the clubhouse, call 376-4400.
