The 1st Ecker Hill Open is in the wraps!

RESULTS

Thanks again to Jasin Bayer, Clayton Davidson, and Co. for all the hard work that has been done over the past 11 months. For a course that has been in the ground for less than a year, you guys have done an amazing job. All the tee boxes are complete, and as of this past week, all of the tee signs are in, and with rumors of some expansion in the future, this place can only get better.

A special thanks goes out to the Mayor of Vernon, Daniel Champagne, as well as the head of Parks and Rec., Bruce Dinnie. These guys have been huge advocates for getting Ecker Hill DGC in the ground, and are already looking towards the future. It is awesome to see such strong support from the local government.

We had a massive list of hole sponsors for this event that allowed us to payout 100% of entry fees (minus players packs).

Thank you to the following people..

We also had some CTP donations to the event. CTPs were donated by..

Clayton Davidson took down the $104 ace pot with an ace on the 2nd hole of the event (hole 3).

We had a blast at our 1st CT event and look forward to what is to come. We have discussed moving this event to the spring for 2016 so keep an eye out!
