⛳️Paudash Lake Golf Tournament Cancellation
Attention Paudash Lake Golfers

We are officially cancelling tomorrow’s tournament, as significant rain and lightning are predicted overnight and into the morning. ☔️⛈️

With 36 carts on rain-soaked fairways, it’s certainly not ideal for either the course or the players. It’s unfortunate, especially since we were all set up, and it was a difficult decision given that the Bancroft weather forecasts aren’t always that reliable.

Hopefully, we don’t wake up to sunny skies tomorrow! However, cancelling at this point allows us to return everyone’s payments over the next few days.

Thanks for your understanding, and hopefully we’ll have better weather for the next one!

Mark your calendars for Sunday Aug 22nd 2027 as those signed up will have priority access for next year.
