Elk Ridge ‘Sunday Shootout’ saves the day and the weekend
Global News
Elk Ridge Open 2022 was cancelled due to too much rain and unplayable conditions deemed by PGA TOUR Canada.
Mother Nature unfortunately didn’t get the memo, as too much rain over several days leading up to the Elk Ridge Open meant that for the second straight year, the first official edition of the Elk Ridge open was bumped.
Last year, due to pandemic restrictions, it was only three rounds, and this year it was cancelled due to too much rain and unplayable conditions deemed by PGA Tour Canada.
Yet that wasn’t the end of things for the more than 100 players who made the trip to the golf resort just outside Prince Albert National Park.
The ownership group at Elk Ridge Resort raised $40,000 for a one-day tournament, called Sunday Shoot Out, to put some money in the pockets of the players, who already spent a lot to be there.
“Being innovative and adaptive is pretty cool, on our ownership’s part,” said Ryan Danberg, managing partner of Elk Ridge. “I’m trying to not get emotional, but it was a great day. Pretty cool out there, to see.”
These players have had other tournaments rained out and the message is usually, that is unfortunate, but good luck at the next tour stop.
