Grey Goose Par 3 Championship To Kick Off

March 1, 2018

The Grey Goose World Par 3 Championship begins tomorrow [March 2] at the Fairmont Southampton Turtle Hill Golf Club.

This year’s 36-hole championship, which takes place March 2-3, sees a number of talented golfers from across the globe compete for the title and their share of the $50,000 [USD] purse.

“The field this year for the Grey Goose World Par 3 Championship is incredibly deep with many great players,” said Adam LeBrun, tournament director. “It would be almost impossible to pick a favourite because there are so many nice players. But the player who does come out on top will definitely have earned the championship.”
