GOLF GOLF GOLF
 
Did we get your attention ?!
 
 
Rotary International through its Rotary Fellowships provides opportunities for Rotarians to join with Rotarians around the world who share a common interest in recreational activities, hobbies and sports.  The International Golfing Fellowship of Rotary, for instance, makes it possible to enjoy golf and fellowship with other Rotarians through various events including an annual international tournament. 
 
Golfers of all skill levels are grouped according to their handicaps and meet new friends and enjoy golf at excellent courses followed by a variety of social activities.  Next summer, the get-together event is being held in Rotterdam.
 
Of particular interest is the 2017 Tournament that Canada will be hosting in Victoria, BC, Aug 6 - 11, 2017.  Register at http://www.igfr2017.ca/  Regardless of your golfing ability, this will be a fun event to meet and play with other Rotarians from all over the globe.
