On the 20th of September, 67 golfers signed up to play at the 28th annual EGO Golf Tournament at the Richmond Hill Golf Club. The day was a perfect early fall day with plenty of sunshine and a light breeze. A big thanks to Toomas Kald who captured some amazing shots of the tournament, Tony Kadai who looked after our putting contest, Ene Timmusk who provided some very tasty kringel.

The tournament was a huge success due to the participation of the players but also our hole sponsors- Toronto Eesti Selts, Eesti Üliõpilaste Selts, Northern Birch Credit Union, Tevag Inc., and Jack Lake Productions Inc.
EGO (Estonian Golf Club of Ontario) would also like to thank Lorie Bodanis and the entire Richmond Hill Golf Club team, you made us feel welcome.
See you all next year, at our 29th anniversary, at the Richmond Hill Golf Club again, on the 19th of September 2025!
