The Blue Owl is back.
The men’s golf tournament at Deer Park Golf Course had not been played since 1993, and there has not been a men’s open at Deer Park for five years. The decision was made to try to bring men’s golf back and build a new tournament, based on the old tournament.
The revived Blue Owl was strong, with 98 golfers taking part in the three day event. The winner was local golfer Matt Procyshen, who took the top prize with a five under par.
Procyshen was thrilled to be able to hold the massive Blue Owl trophy. Speechless at his own win, Procyshen was just as excited to see a new men’s open at Deer Park as he was to have won it.
“At the end of the day, we haven’t had a men’s open here in a number of years, and I know the history with the Blue Owl, back in the day it was a very well regarded tournament in the area... There’s definitely some history there before, I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.”
Procyshen compliments the organizing committee on their successful tournament, saying it was a first class event.
All funds raised from the tournament will go to the new green on Hole 7.
