THE GREAT CHES GOLF GAME

Glen Abbey Golf Club

This is a charity event in association with the Fergie Jenkins Foundation.

Once again, delegates and exhibitors are invited to participate in The Great CHES Golf Game.  Glen Abbey Golf Club is one of Canada's premiere courses, that will be remembered for years as the site of "The Shot of 2000" - Tiger Woods' 218-yard 6-iron from a fairway bunker on the 18th hole to set up the birdie that clinched the Canadian Open and the Triple Crown. (Tiger's Triple included his victories in the 2000 U.S., British and Canadian Opens.) Canada's No. 8 ranked golf course is open to anyone wishing to retrace Tiger's historic steps and challenge Jack Nicklaus' first solo design.

Opened in 1976, Glen Abbey is held in high esteem by Tour players for its difficulty - 7,112 yards, Slope 140 from the Black tees - but it is surprisingly accommodating from the shorter tees. You can freewheel with the driver on its receptive fairways, but the greens are devilishly undulating and protected by steep bunkers. Nine-minute tee-time intervals help keep play moving along, and the maintenance is immaculate.

Glen Abbey is in Oakville, Ontario, just west of Toronto.

Shotgun start, Scramble format

Green Fees: $160/person
