On September 26th, 2020, the year of the COVID, 67 golfers registered to play at the 24th Annual EGO Golf Tournament at the Cardinal Golf Course just north of Toronto, Ontario. The weather was simply an idyllic fall day for the game of golf.
As the golfers arrived for their tee- off times starting at 10:30 am they were received by hot coffee and kringel at the registration desk by both Kariina Järve and Declan O’Neill. The kringels were donated by Ülle Veltmann Catering. Lunch was provided after nine holes and a choice of hamburger or sausage on a bun with a soft drink was available.
After each group posed for their photos, off they went to compete over the next 18 holes on the Cardinal West Course.
