CELEBRATING NATIONAL OFFICIALS DAY

On behalf of Golf Saskatchewan, Golf Canada, Sask Sport Inc., the PGA of Sask and Sports Officials Canada thank you for your contributions to sport.

In Golf our officials not only referee, start, score and administer championships, but also assist in Course Rating and Handicap-ping.

On this the inaugural National Officials Day, we have an opportunity to acknowl-edge those who make our sports safe and welcoming activities for those of all ages in Canada. We salute you for your hard work and dedication to preserving the integrity of the game of golf and other sports you may be a part of, not just for today but for everyday - all year long.

An amazing 250,000 people volunteer to perform some form officiating duties in sports in Canada each year. Each and every one of these individuals adds incredible value to those participants who want to do the best they can on the field of play, while expecting an environment of fair play.

The theme for National Officials Day is - Respect the Official.

April 17, Sports Officials Canada launched the first online Hall of Fame dedi-cated solely to Sports Officials. The tag lines are Integrity, Dedication, Pas-sion and Ethics. What could be more appropriate to describe the thousands of volunteers in the world of officiating.

Thank you again for all of your time and dedication. We look forward to seeing you all on the links at some point this spring/summer.
