Golf Canada staff have arrived in Saskatoon and preparation for the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship hosted by Riverside Country Club and Saskatoon Golf and Country Club is in it’s final stages.
Golfers from nine countries, plus 15 Saskatchewan players will make up the 264 player field with potential for more following the qualifier on Friday, Aug. 2.
Golf Saskatchewan sat down with Host Committee Chair Craig Sled back in late May to talk about the event returning to Riverside and SGCC for the first time since 2007 when Nick Taylor won as a then 19-year-old. Sled speaks about the need for volunteers, but following the initial push in late May, the need was quickly filled. He discusses other aspects of hosting the event and how excited the clubs are to welcome 256 of the best amateur players in the world.
