In 2003, a casual dinner conversation changed everything. Dr. Vishwanath Malliah suggested to Dr. Gur Singh that he start a golf tournament to support the Kamloops Brain Injury Association. Dr. Singh hadn’t heard of KBIA before, but a conversation with head nurse Mary Dmytriw convinced him it was a cause worth backing.
In 2004, the inaugural KBIA Golf Tournament teed off at Rivershore Golf Links, raising about $17,000. Support grew fast — by 2006 a second round was added, and in 2010 the tournament moved to The Dunes at Kamloops to keep pace with demand.
Following Dr. Singh’s death in 2015, the tournament was renamed in his honour. Today, the Gur Singh Memorial Golf Tournament stands as one of Kamloops’ largest fundraisers, carrying his vision forward each year.
Thank you to every golfer, sponsor, donor and volunteer who continues to make this possible.
