Langford initially set a maximum of 40 people for 18 holes at the beginning of the pandemic. But after they quickly sold out, they realized they could include 40 more guests on the course by cutting the amount of holes in half.

With sanitizer in each cart, golfers were sent on their way to complete nine holes and return to Westin Bear Mountain Resort for a socially-distanced meal, with a maximum of four people at a table for six.

Over the past 23 years, this tournament has raised upwards of $600,000 to support local charities whose services range from programs for local seniors; a variety of youth sports organizations; rebuilding Nepal; and providing support for health-related programs. This year, they surpassed their goal of $50,000.

While fun is in the play and competition on the links, the focus of the tournament has been to raise funds to provide financial support to local charities and organizations that make a positive difference to Langford and the region.
