16 May, 2016
On May 12th PGA of Alberta Professionals Rob MacGregor (Miskanaw GC), Bill McDougall (Billy D’s GC), Blair McDowell (Stony Plain GC), Jeff McDowell (Fort McMurray GC), Chris McKenzie (Miskanaw GC) and Shaun Westhaver, (Miskanaw GC) provided a free golf clinic for Fort McMurray residents evacuated due to the wildfires. Kevin Day (Billy D’s GC) generously donated the facility for the day to over 50 evacuees that attended. In addition to the Professionals providing instruction, Callaway, Cobra Puma Golf and Nike were on hand providing equipment. Organizer Chris McKenzie knows first-hand the impact of the Fort McMurray fires, having been evacuated himself, “this event was a way for residents to connect with each other and take some stress out with a few swings.”
