The GPDGC is hosting our annual Swan City Showdown on the weekend of August 24 and 25. Playing 2 rounds on our South Bear location and 1 round on our Thrill Hill location, this tournament is the biggest event hosted by our club. Local company, Seven Generations Energy, is our title sponsor for the second straight year. For any out of town players, the South Bear Creek course has an RV camping area managed by Bear Paw Par3 Golf Course. If this is your preferred option, I recommend booking early as there is a softball tournament going on this weekend as well.

If you are from out of town and prefer to tent, I personally recommend Saskatoon Lake Provincial Campground. It is close enough to the city to not be awkward and has beautiful tenting areas.

It is looking pretty solid. Now if the rain will go away until August 26th. Give us some sunshine and dry ground.
And a chance for the City to mow South Bear haha
We are priority 1 now for the mowing crew. The courses will be all cleaned up, and Thrill Hill will have a few surprises. Check out Udisc for the tournament layout.
Ooooh tasty! Now I’m even more stoked! We’re gonna try to get to GP this Saturday for a practice day
