PINEGROVE GOES TO QUEBEC CITY TO RECRUIT ITS NEW PRO LOUIS-ALEXANDRE PITRE

 9 1/2 WITH MARIO:

December begins at the PGA of Quebec the same way November ended, 
with another appointment in the run-up to 2021.

It was in Quebec City that Pinegrove Golf Club went to get its new professional.
This is Louis-Alexandre Pitre, professional at La Tempête since 2016.
He is the choice to replace Rémi Bouchard, who is moving from  the South Shore
to the North Shore.
After five years at Pinegrove, Rémi joined the Laval-sur-le-Lac organization in the fall
as head professional.

His assistant Steve Deschênes also left to become a pro at Summerlea.
A professional since 2011, Louis-Alexandre Pitre is a graduate of Pfeiffer University,
in North Carolina.

A good player, he had achieved in 2010 the very difficult achievment of qualifying for the US Amateur Championship
 in Chambers Bay, Washington.
At the pro level, he won a team tournament with Marc-Étienne Bussières.
