The 19th Annual OTS Oilwomen's Golf Tournament had a little bit of everything this year – including good golf and great friends and colleagues.
Although a group of Alyshia Rae, Chrissy Shauf, Lisa Rowley and Angela Clemens carded a three under par in the 18 hole best ball tournament, the real purpose of the event was networking and getting out there.
“We had about 58 or 59 golfers,” said organizer Cindy Romanyk, who admitted it was a little bit lower this year with the other things going on at the same time, like the North Dakota State Fair in Minot.
“The whole point of this tournament is for women in the industry to network and get together. They talk to each other on the phones, they talk to each other here and there but they don't usually get the chance to meet face to face. So it's about getting to put a name to a face and just get to visit and have fun.”
There were some good golfers in the event but it has a different flavour than other golf events.
“Because we do allow some teams to put in twosomes, sometimes it can make the teams uneven,” she said. “The first place and second place prizes we just pick out of a hat.”
This blistering hot weather was perfect for the event.
“Hopefully we'll keep going,” said Romanyk, who works with Tundra Marketing Energy.
