Legion being transformed into a mini golf course for tournament

Bringing back the mini golf tournament offers a chance to use the entire building as a putting course — which isn't something you get to do on a regular Moose Jaw Royal Canadian Legion visit

The Moose Jaw Royal Canadian Legion’s upcoming indoor mini golf tournament is a unique experience to use the entire Legion building as a 9-hole course. 

Norma Richardson, public relations for the Moose Jaw branch, thought that the indoor tournament would be a fun event to bring back. 

“We are using the whole building for our golf tournament, all three floors,” said Richardson. “It's sort of like, you hit the ball into the elevator and go up the elevator to the top and then work your way down the stairs. It's kind of crazy.”

All necessary equipment will be provided, as the Legion has borrowed clubs, balls, and holes from 15 Wing, and the tournament is open to the public — anyone can take part. 

Golfers are encouraged to register prior to the event on Oct. 27, with the fee of $5 granting you 9 holes on the improvised course. The fun will get started at 1:30 p.m. with the first round of golfers, and Richardson hopes to see plenty of people bring their friends out for the day. 

Richardson was willing to make room for last-minute attendees on the day of the tournament, but she’d like to be able to schedule the day and get everyone some time on the “course.”

It’s been almost two decades since the Legion has done this particular event, and Richardson is pleased to see interest — she’s got about 20 people already registered to come out. 

“I don't think we've done it for so long because we just haven't thought of it, I guess, but somebody suggested it and we thought, let's try it, see if it brings anybody down,” said Richardson. “

To register for the tournament, give the Legion a call at 1 (306) 693-9688 or drop by during their open hours.
