Montréal, September 5, 2018 – Golf Québec’s activities continue this week with the presentation of the 8th Inter-Regional Championship in which the best golfers aged between 11 and 16 years old coming from Québec and Eastern Ontario will defend their regional colours. The event will take place on September 8 and 9 at the Lachute golf club. This is the final leg of the 2018 Provincial Junior Tour presented by Daigneau Eau de Source. Later on, the Kanawaki Golf Club will be host to the Suzanne-Beauregard Commemorative Tournament on Monday, September 10. A group of 56 women’s twosomes will measure up to each other in a pleasant and friendly competition.

Inter-Regional Championship 

This Stableford competition will be divided in two rounds: the first played as a two-man Vegas format and the second featuring a two-man alternate stroke play. Each regional team will be composed of six boys (two juvenile players, two bantams, and two pee-wee) and two girls (juvenile, bantam, or pee-wee).

New this year, should there be a shortage of available competitive players, Golf Québec is enabling regional associations to complete their teams by recruiting players from other areas who were not appointed on their own local team. This substitution process is overseen by Golf Québec based on the best three scores registered in events of the Regional Junior Tours (RJT) this summer.

Last year, the Montréal-South team brought it’s A game for a perfect day in the second round of the event. As a result, they reconquered the title they had captured in 2014 and 2015. The eight (8) young athletes composing this year’s team are: Victor Rodrigue-Sénécal of La Vallée du Richelieu, Tristan Paré of the Country Club of Montréal, Félix Bouchard of La Vallée du Richelieu, Nicolas Julien of La Vallée du Richelieu, Chad Huber of Whitlock, Thomas Lessard of La Vallée du Richelieu, Rosalie Langlois of Pinegrove, and Camille Gagnon of La Vallée du Richelieu. They will be supervised by their Regional Coach, Benoît Lemieux, in collaboration with the Regional Junior Representative, Gabriel Laberge.

For the 8th consecutive year, the Kanawaki Golf Club will be host to the Suzanne-Beauregard Commemorative Tournament. It is a friendly and fun team competition played with three formats (6­6-6): Best ball ­ Chapman 2­ball ­ Scramble.
