ARA Canada’s first golf day goes perfectly

The American Rental Association of Canada held a golf tournament for the first time in Milton, Ont., on June 27. The event was full with 120 golfers, about evenly split between rental stores and suppliers.

The venue was Granite Ridge Golf Golf Club. The course was in terrific condition and the weather could not have been more perfect.

All sponsorship opportunities were also sold out. Hilti hosted a drive-the-marshmallow contest with a $600 drill. Here’s Brad Anstead (Brandt) taking the winning swing.

Gord Ellis and his assistant, Dean Nasato, (Western Global) did an able job of emceeing the post-golf barbeque.

ARA Region 10 director, Kelly Brincheski (Collective Event Rentals), came all the way from Winnipeg to golf and welcome the group.

Long drive prizes went to Camille Jagdeo, Andrew Butler and Reid Moran.

Low round went to the team of Danny Montara, Glenn Patten and J. Franks. Jamie Carmen wasn’t around for the photo.

One of the underappreciated aspects of golf tournaments is people getting swag from their competitors.
