On August 26th, over 130 golfers laced up their golf shoes at the Ranch Golf & Country Club for the NAIT Ooks Scholarship Golf Tournament. It was a beautiful, action-packed day of fun for everyone. A huge thank you to our student-athlete volunteers, NAIT athletics department staff, NAIT coaches, the staff from the Ranch, and a special thank you to the following sponsors:

Silent Auction Donors: Apple Fitness Store - Division of Liv North, NAIT Men's Soccer, Half Moon Bay Golf Links, Tees to Green, Edmonton Elks, The Cabin
It was a close day on the course. We had a tie for first place, but after consulting the Golf Canada Rules, tournament organizers used a countback as the tiebreaker and determined that the 2021 NAIT Ooks Scholarship Golf Tournament winners were Liam Darragh, Scott Fellnermayr, Jordan Wood, and Tyler French. In second place, we had Dylan Faulkner, Justin Berget, Eric Lacombe, and Brendan Peleshaty. And in third place, we had Carla and Andy Duncan and Trix and Doug Baker.
We want to thank everyone who contributed to the event. All proceeds from the golf tournament will go towards student-athlete scholarships. We hope to build off our success and run the tournament again next year!
