Stretch Drive Golf Tournament Reminder

Atlantic Provinces Harness Racing Commission Race Officials would like to remind everyone of the ninth Annual Stretch Drive Benevolent Fund Golf Tournament, which will take place at Fox Meadow Golf Club in Stratford, PE on Wednesday, August 17.

Just minutes from Charlottetown Driving Park, the tournament gets underway at 8:00 a.m. with a shotgun start.

The event raises funds for individuals and families involved in the Atlantic Provinces harness racing industry that have fallen on hard times for various reasons. The Stretch Drive Benevolent Fund is a project of the Atlantic Provinces Harness Racing Commission Officials and also contributes $1,000 to the Atlantic Bursary Fund, which awards scholarships each year to deserving students whose families are involved in harness racing in the Atlantic Provinces. The tournament is limited to 26 teams at a cost of $75 per individual golfer or $300 per team of four. Interested golfers can register by contacting the APHRC at (902) 836-5500 or a APHRC race official at your local track. Please register early as this event sells out each year.

Participants will have a chance to watch some great racing during Old Home Week, enjoy a day of golf with friends, and have an opportunity to win some valuable prizes. To date, the Fund, which is administered by the APHRC and Senior Judges Committee, has distributed a total of more than $70,000, assisting more than 95 individuals throughout the Atlantic Provinces.
