As most of you have probably noticed by now, we have officially changed the name of our annual tournament to the Brad Chamberlain 2-Man Scramble. Our goal is to keep a lasting legacy of a great man who left an indelible mark on not only this tournament, but Gowan Brae as a whole. A 3-time repeat champion of this event, Brad fought a valiant and courageous fight against cancer up until late last year. As a 3x past club champion and junior golf instructor, he was a fantastic player but an even better person to be around. The 2-Man scramble is built on camaraderie, good golf, and great times, and no-one personified these elements quite like Brad. To all participants: enjoy your weekend out on the course and savour every moment, because that’s what Brad would have done! Please click here for Saturday (day 1) tee times.
