M.L. hosting Sask. Summer Games golf tryouts
The annual Saskatchewan Summer Games are less than two months away and tryouts for teenagers wanting to play are happening throughout the province’s zones.
Meadow Lake will be playing host for the Rivers West (Zone) golf tryouts on Friday, June 10. Dwayne Yachiw, sport development and championships manager with Golf Saskatchewan said athletes are aged 12 to 17 and skills levels vary.
“The Sask. Games from our standpoint are developmental games as compared to the Canada Games which would be… elite athlete games. The skill levels in the Sask. Games ranges from intermediate to the better golfers,” he said.
Tryouts are being held to determine which athletes will be going to the summer games. Currently, six males and two females are registered to tryout for six spots. Yachiw added, teams are three males and three females which means three guys will be cut and they are still looking for another girl to round out the teams.
