The Okotoks Bisons will be hosting their annual golf tournament June 18th.

This year a few elements have been added to event, one of which being the fact participants can raise pledges on their golf game to go over and above their registration.

Tournament organizer Rob Tudor says that there is an incentive that goes along with the pledges.

"For anyone who raising $350 or more will receive a $25 gift certificate to a local Okotoks restaurant."

Tudor adds that he has heard people say they can't raise pledges because they aren't sales people.

Everyone has at least ten friends that they can contact.

"You can send out an email blast to friends, and explain that you are trying to raise money for the Okotoks Jr. B hockey club," Tudor says.

There is still open spots open for the tournament according to Tudor.

"The cut off date to register for the tournament is June 14th."

The proceeds for this event will go towards the operation costs for the Bisons upcoming season.
