Par2Pro Hosts Closest-to-the-Pin Fundraiser at Calgary PGA Golf Show

CALGARY, AB (March 30, 2009) - Par2Pro was proud to have hosted the PGA's Closest-to-the-Pin fundraiser at the 2009 PGA of Alberta's Calgary Golf Show March 28th and 29th at the Round-up Center. Golfers from Calgary and area competed on the P3ProSwing system for a $5000 Dream Vacation in Ireland - with the closest shot being 2.1 feet from the pin. The competition raised almost $1200 for the Kids Cancer Care Foundation. The first part of the competition was held in Edmonton which raised almost $1500 for the Kids with Cancer Society. The winner of the two events was a golfer who got 2.1 fee away from the pin as well, so we had to go to his second shot to break the tie.

One lucky golfer won the bonus draw for an antique Hickory Stick donated by Legends Golf. Thanks to all who purchased the draw ballots, as all money raised went to the Kids Cancer Care Foundation.

"We are extremely proud to be hosting this fundraiser for the PGA of Alberta. The Kids with Cancer Society and Kids Cancer Care Foundation are incredible organizations and we are honored to be assisting in their missions." said Cory Gauvreau, President of Par2Pro™. "It was a great success in both Edmonton and Calgary and we are looking forward to doing it again next year."

The $5000 Dream Golf Vacation in Ireland for Two Prize, generously donated by www.GolfVacationsIreland.com, included 6 rounds of golf and 6 nights accommodation, K Palmer (Ryder Cup venue) and Smurfit courses, Links at Portmarnock and The Island, Druids Glen and Heath Courses, staying 2 nights at each of The K Club, Portmarnock Hotel and Druids Glen Hotel.
