The Smithers Golf and Country Club hosted the Senior Mens Amateur Tournament last weekend, drawing the best 50 and over golfers from across the north. At the end of two days of warm, sunny play, Don Olson ended up in the top spot with a best Overall Low Gross of 144.
Olson said the tournament was two days of great golfing.
“The golf course was in awesome shape,” he said. “I enjoyed golfing with both groups, Saturday and Sunday.”
Sunday’s draw, based on Saturday’s scores, put Olson in with the best players from the previous day.
“To me, it elevates your game a little more,” he said.
