A long putt (almost made it) on the tenth green at Lionhead Golf Course in Brampton, home of the Skal Toronto annual golf tournament on Wednesday, Aug. 22. The tournament was played on the beautiful but difficult Legends' course on a mostly sunny, pleasant day.

The tenth hole at Lionhead Golf Course is one of the prettiest around, with dramatic viiews and plenty of danger all around. It's a tough par four that challenged more than a few golfers at the Skal Toronto tournament.

TravelPulse Canada was official cart sponsor at the Skal Toronto Golf Tournament at Lionhead. We gave away cool knapsacks and also a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey signed by former star Doug Gilmour.

Skal Toronto has nearly 80 members, all of them prominent figures in the travel and tourism business. There are three more meetings coming up this year, including one in October that focusses on new members. Chapter president Fred Azouz said membership rates are reasonable, and that meetings are a great way to network and drum up new business.

Makingmoney for charity is serious business, but golfers at the annual Skal Toronto tournament in Brampton also took time to have a little fun.
