2024 Women's Golf Week

Videotron Business Women's Golf Pro-Am presented by Adidas Golf 

This event stems from the initiative of professional Anne Rogerson who during the COVID year in 2021 had organized a virtual pro-am. The first edition was played in Hillsdale in 2022, with the 2nd edition in La Tempête crowning champion the professional Philippe Gariépy's team.

On July 15, the third edition and not the least was presented as part of the activities of the women's golf week. 

Before the round, clients and some employees of our partner Videotron Business benefited from the advice of 7 professionals (Sylvie Schetagne, Anne-Marie Gouin, Lysane Paquin, Lyne Thibodeau, Anne Rogerson, Maria Veronica Noriega) and Jean-Charles Côté Sauvé, who is the golf director at Le Blainvillier, the host club.

It was on the fairways of the Heritage course in a friendly 4-ball Vegas formula that 106 amateur, 14 professionals and 16 women professionals competed in this 3rd edition. 

The team of Le Mirage with professional Caroline Ciot, accompanied by Sonia Anderson, Francine Leclerc and Marie-Chantal Dion (3 Mirage members) won the pro-am with a score of -10 (62).
