MOOSE JAW — The Lynbrook Golf Course was the place to be for local golfers on June 15 as club members teed off in celebration of 100 years in Moose Jaw this spring.
The highlight of the Lynbrook Golf Club’s centennial celebration was without doubt which brought a former tradition from the club’s early days back to life this past weekend.
“It’s a handicap stroke play tournament,” the club’s general manager Ray Wareham explained earlier. “So, each individual gets a little tombstone to carry with them throughout their play.”
As each player dropped out of the tournament, they planted a small tombstone at the site of their final shot and golfers soon witnessed an increasing array of tombstones over the course, adding a sense of intrigue that reminded everyone how well they’ve been doing as the day progressed.
With competitors playing in each of the club’s five traditional leagues, the winners of the 2024 Tombstone Challenge were:
- Men’s division: Curt Breton
- Senior Men’s division: Bob Cooper
- Ladies' division: Chantel Mack
- Senior Ladies' division: Debb Higgins
- Junior division: Ben Lynds
Congratulations to this year’s Tombstone Challenge winners!
