ACRA WEDNESDAY GOLF
One of the activities available to ACRA members is the Wednesday Golf. Beginning in May and running unil mid-October, weather permitting, between 24 to 32 golfers enjoy a round of golf with friends and former colleagues. This event is also open to non-ACRA members.The apres-golf is an option for golfers to meet at a local restaurant to enjoy a meal and libations. Either their golf game is replayed or most of the major world problems discussed and solved.
Each week, our Commish (Bob Forget), challenges the golfers with a competition event. Examples are: Fewest Putts, Fairways hit, On the Green, Calcutta and Closest to the Pin. Thw winner(s) receive not onlyrecognition but a cash prize, Also, a record of the golfers weekly scores is kept. These scoresdetermine the winner of the two major prizs: the Commissoner's Cup and the ACRA Championship. The schedule and the weekly information is kept on the ACRA website (https://acracan.ca).
