The Aurora Eagles 2012 Season
The Aurora Eagles would like to thank Mike Nisbet and his wonderful staff at Westview Golf Club for their continued support again this season. We could not have had such a successful 2012 season without the generous donation of their beautiful facility. We would also like to thank Golf Fitter, Ian Hale, for the donation of both his time and expertise throughout the season. Thanks to his help, our athletes were well equipped to compete. The Aurora Eagles attended the Brampton Invitation Gold Tournament on July 7th and the Special Olympics Ontario Annual Golf Tournament in Stouffville on September 7th. Many of our athletes were in attendance and we look forward to representing Aurora at these events again next year. Registration for next season will take place in
June 2013. For more information, please contact Katie Vickers at aurora.golf.manager@specialolympicsontario.ca
 Details for the 2013 season will be posted here as soon as known
