Copper Point Golf Club hosted the 11th Annual Turn Copper into Gold Golf Tournament on October 1, 2013. The event raised over $20,000 for the Columbia Valley Chamber of Commerce which will go towards maintenance of the the Chamber’s building and plans for renovating the building to create office space for short term office rental and “homes” for not for profit organizations requiring affordable office, meeting space and access to technology. The first 10 years of the tournament enabled the CVCC to pay off the mortgage on the existing 12 year old building.
The winners of this year’s tournament were:
- College of the Rockies
- Bighorn Meadows
- Fairmont Hot Springs Resort tied with Kootenay Group Insurance
- Most Honest Team went to Tiffany’s Thredz
- Men’s Closest to the Pin – Craig Knapp (Canadian Tire)
- Men’s Longest Drive – Jason Stevens
- Ladies Longest Drive – Cheryl Williams (Copper Point Resort)
- Ladies Closest to the Pin – Dee Conklin (Palliser Printing)
