VICTORIA INVITATIONAL
Sept. 3-5, 2010
The 60th Annual Intercity Invitational was hosted by the Victoria
Chinese Golf Club over the Labor Day Weekend. There were over 100
golfers and guests attending the festivities on Vancouver Island in
British Columbia. Mother Nature was kind with great golfing
weather for practice rounds on Friday, September 3 followed by the
36-hole medal play event on Saturday and Sunday.
The four intercity clubs rotate in hosting the Labor Day weekend
event. In 2011, it will be the Seattle Cascade Club followed by
Vancouver and Portland in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
Tournament Chair Gorman Lee and Co-Chairs Cathy Wong and Sadie Guthrie
and their energetic committees presented an excellent program for the
visiting golfers and guests to enjoy. Victoria has much to offer
for those who came early or stayed longer to take in the sites in
Victoria and Vancouver. The events included a reception at the
Coast Victoria Harbourside Hotel where early arrivals could register
and enjoy the delicious hors d’oeuvres. The goodie bags
were so full of goodies, players were excusing themselves to drop the
bags off in their rooms before socializing and eating. On Sunday,
the Awards Dinner was held at the Don Mee Chinese Seafood Restaurant
where the guests were served a great banquet style dinner. First
timer players for this event were pleasantly surprised to receive a
gift from the reverse draw, so everyone went home
winners.
Two great courses, Arbutus Ridge and Olympic View, where shotgun starts
of 8:00am and 9:30am respectively were the golfing venues for the 90+
golfers. The Arbutus Ridge course was a good warm-up course and
as reflected by the scores were friendlier than Olympic View course
where an errant shot could result in a big number! The 36 hole
event also hosted the annual Four City Team Tournament and the
Federation sponsored Seniors Event.
