On what seemed like it could’ve been the last warm day in September, golfers, community members, sponsors, and members of CFB Esquimalt gathered at Olympic View Golf Course for the annual Base Commander’s Golf Tournament hosted by Personnel Support Programs Community Recreation.

Starting in the chilly early morning, 17 teams of golfers began their day hitting balls on the green in hopes of winning the tournament, best ball, or one of two hole-in-one prizes. With new challenges, activities and giveaways at each hole, there was never a dull moment on the green.

Reigning champions Roy Elson, Mohamed Gudal, Steve Melnick and Steve Wist squeaked in another incredible round to take home the win for another year. Congratulations to all the golfers on another incredible tournament!

The event would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. A huge thank-you to Seaspan, Babcock, WestJet, SISIP, BC Yukon Royal Canadian Legion, Pomerleau, Golf Town, United Rentals, Hotel Grand Pacific, Golf and Grind, Royal Roads, Saje, Crag X, Grainger, South Island Physio, and London Chef.
