PARTNER OF THE WEEK - IRIDIA MEDICAL
Did you know - Golf courses are the 5th most likely place for a sudden cardiac arrest to strike.

 
For every 1-minute delay in defibrillation, the victim's survival rate drops by 10%. A response within four to six minutes is vital to the victim's survival .

 

Vancouver-based Iridia Medical has partnered with the PGA of BC to make safety a priority at golf facilities in the province. As a preferred partner, they offer the sale of Automated External Defibrillator units and provide support and training on their use.

PRO-ASSISTANT HEATING UP

Kelowna's Black Mountain Golf Club will host the 2014 G&G Golf and Callaway Pro-Assistant Championship - July 7th & 8th. Last year's event saw Summerland Golf & Country Club's Tyrel Babkirk and Greg Machtaler reach a scorching -20 total to grab the trophy and the $2,250 winners cheque.

 

Host Professional Russ Latimer is excited to showcase the unique atmosphere that the facility offers. In Russ' words: "At Black Mountain we like to think we're different than the rest - we can't wait to show you why!"
