Home to one of the country’s strongest golf programs at both the national and provincial level, Georgian Athletics is pleased to announce that they will host the 2016 OCAA Golf Championship.
The Grizzlies are coming off an impressive 2015 campaign, having captured a combined five CCAA and OCAA medals while earning a total of sixteen podium finishes.
Emilie Tyndall, in her first year at Georgian, was named both a CCAA All-Canadian and All-Ontario team member.
The program’s success dates back to 1980, when the Grizzlies captured their first Team Championship. Since then Georgian Golf has won a total of fifty-nine provincial medals, including sixteen gold’s.
Over the past seven years, the Grizzlies have been on an incredible run. Since 2009 the program has won nineteen Provincial Medals, highlighted by seven consecutive top three finishes for the Men’s Team.
The 2016 Championship will take place October 3-5 at National Pines Golf Course, which has previously hosted the Canadian Tour Championship and Ontario Amateur.
Georgian College last hosted the OCAA Championship in 2010 at Lora Bay.
