Another successful Swinging Skirts Golf tournament was held on Friday, September 6th, 2019 at the Nk’Mip Canyon Desert Golf course. The weather cooperated and gave the 122 enthusiastic golfers a beautiful day. Ladies from around the Thompson-Okanagan participated in the 2-lady team event, with activities on the course to keep everyone busy throughout the day. Refreshments were provided by the Firehall Brewery & Desert Hills winery.
