2016 Annual ARTA Golf Tournament
DON CHECKLEY
On June 21 , 2016 , the Calgary Retired
Teachers ’ Association ( CRTA ) hosted the 2016 ARTA Golf Tournament at the Links of GlenEagles in Cochrane . The day was blustery and rain threatened , but the scenery was fantastic with the course hugging the north side of the Bow River valley and the majestic Rockies in constant view . Wind added to the difficulty of this challenging course , but the 119 golfers persevered .
Registration began at noon and golfers were provided with a light lunch before heading out to begin their five-hour trek through eighteen holes . The tournament employed a Texas Scramble format with prizes totalling ten thousand dollars available for team and individual scores . Merit Travel sponsored a hole-in-one event at the sixteenth hole and TW Insurance sponsored a putting contest on the practice putting area in front of the clubhouse .
