The first-ever ‘Women Fore Women’ golf fundraiser last year at the Hillcrest Golf Course was able to raise money to help send three Moose Jaw athletes to post-secondary school.

Sage McCulloch, Olivia Mowchenko and Madison Thul each received $500 after submitting essays on the role sports and academics play in the development and character of women.

“All three of them wrote very wonderful essays, and are very highly thought of students in their schools, and we’re very proud to offer them their scholarships this year,” tournament chair Bev Barber.

Applicants had to also be involved in sports and have good grades, as well as being accepted into a post-secondary institution.

Due to pandemic restrictions, the organizers of last year’s Women Fore Women tournament won't be able to have the tournament this year but they hope to be back strong in the fall.
