Nine Saskatchewan golfers will represent the province at next month’s Western Canada Summer Games (WCSG).
Five boys and four girls will make up Team Saskatchewan at the event that takes place at the Chinook Golf Course in Swift Current from Aug. 16 to 18.
Representing Saskatchewan on the boy’s side is Will Blake (Regina), TJ Baker (Prince Albert), Jackson Wingert (Saskatoon), Theoren West (Wawota), and Alex Swinnerton (Saskatoon).
Representing the girl’s team is junior women’s provincial champion Autumn Neiszner (Regina), Ella Kozak (Yorkton), Sarah Grieve (Saskatoon), and Symone Ripley (Saskatoon).
Golf Saskatchewan director of sport development Steve Ryde said he’s excited for the event and the players making up the team.
“These kids have worked extremely hard to be named to this team,” he said. “The players that made the teams are in for a great experience both golf wise and life, we know they will represent Golf Saskatchewan to the best of their ability.”
Play begins on Friday, Aug. 16. The WCSG take place every other year.
