The Club Championships featured 73 players (52 men, 17 ladies and four juniors).

In the boys’ division it was Ryan Labossiere taking the title, while Danika Robson, in the girls’ division, claimed the championship.

In the Mr. and Mrs. Tournament 66 couples and 132 players turned out for one of the more fun events the WLGTC hosts throughout the year.

The low gross title went to Scott and Mary Anne Norgren of Prince George, who fired a combined 161.
