Royal LePage Network Realty in Red Deer, Alta. held its first Annual Charity Golf Tournament, in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation and Central Alberta Women’s Shelter recently, with 156 golfers putting  their best ball forward. They raised more than $35,000.

Golfers were treated to six hole-in-one contests featuring cars, SUVs and Harley Davidson motorcycles as prizes. There were also prizes at all the other holes. According to many of the golfers, the prizes helped make this the best tournament they ever attended.

The fun continued into the evening with dinner and a silent auction. Plans are now underway for the second tournament, to be held Sept. 6, 2013.
