Do you think you and three friends have what it takes to be RBC PGA Scramble National Champions? Now is your chance to give it a shot.

Okanagan golfers are invited to take part in a local qualifier for the RBC PGA Scramble at Shadow Ridge Golf Club in Kelowna on May 23.

The scramble is a series of national events where the winner of each local qualifier is invited to one of the 11 regional finals later in the summer. There are 153 local qualifiers across the country with 22 of them in British Columbia.

Black Mountain Golf Club is also hosting one of the qualifier events on June 29, and will also be hosting the B.C. East regional finals on Aug. 11.

The other courses in the Okanagan (B.C.

The 11 winners from the regional finals will face off for the national championship at Cabot Links in Nova Scotia.

Every team must require four amateur golfers must be 19 or older with an updated Golf Canada handicap. There is one spot reserved in each regional final for one all-women’s team.
