Kamloops golf pros play around the clock for ALS research

Jun 28, 2018 | 3:11 PM

KAMLOOPS — A pair of Kamloops golf pros have hit the links for an important cause today.

Alec Hubert and Andrew Bentley are participating in the annual Golfathon for ALS at the Kamloops Golf and Country Club.

“Basically we’re raising funds for ALS research,” says Hubert. “It’s an initiative put on by the PGA of BC and many pros across the province do this. So, we’re trying to play as many rounds as we can from sun up to sun down.”

The duo hope to raise at least $2,000 through 15 rounds of golf, all in one day.

“It’s such a terrible disease and just any little bit that we can do helps to raise awareness of the research that goes into it. So, hopefully a cure if found at some point.”

The competition has helped raise over $2 million province-wide since its inception.
