Bear Mountain Golf Resort is hosting its inaugural Bear & Cub classic this Sunday (Sept. 28), a friendly tournament that pairs adult and junior players for 18 holes.

The clubB次元官网网址檚 sales manager, Chris Currie, modelled the event after a father-son tournament he used to enjoy playing with his dad in P.E.I.

B次元官网网址淲e decided to not limit it to family so more people can play,B次元官网网址� he said.

Teams are composed of an adult player and a junior under 19. The $129 entry fee for each team covers 18 holes of golf on the valley course, a shared power cart, a first tee gift, buffet lunch and, Currie emphasizes, a team photo for everyone involved.

B次元官网网址淢y father passed this last year due to ALS, and I have all these photos of me and him playing the event (in P.E.I.),B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淪o I made sure that a photo was included for this event. ItB次元官网网址檚 such a keepsake.B次元官网网址�

The inaugural tournament is a B次元官网网址渢rial run,B次元官网网址� Currie said. If successful, it will be carried over to future years and likely will introduce a charity component.

The tournament starts at 9 a.m. on Sunday. The registration deadline is Wednesday (Sept. 24), but Currie suggests anyone who misses that deadline may still call for availability at 250-744-2327.
