Registration now open for 33rd annual Alberta Sports Hall of Fame Charity Golf Tournament

Aug 31, 2026 | 3:26 PM

The Alberta Sports Hall of Fame’s 33rd annual Charity Golf Tournament is right around the corner.

On September 10, those who register for the tournament will get to play a round of 18 holes at the Wolf Creek Golf Resort in Ponoka, which begins at 10 a.m., in support of the Hall of Fame.

Those interested can register online at albertasportshall.ca for $250 per golfer or $1,000 per team of four. As of Monday afternoon, only 114 spots were remaining. There is also a link available on the website if anyone or any business would like to sponsor the event.

Cassidy Colling, marketing and communications coordinator at the Hall of Fame, said they hope people will come join for a day of fun.

“It’s going to be a great tournament, and there will be surprises as well,” Colling said. “This is just the second year it’s been held at Wolf Creek, so we are excited.”

There will also be a dinner afterwards at the golf course, raffles that participants will be able to enter, and more.

The funds raised in the tournament will go towards the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame education programs.

“We are looking to expand upon our outreach programs, which means we want to take the Hall of Fame on tour,” Colling added.

She said the Hall of Fame plans to go to communities for a field trip that can’t necessarily come to them.

The organization has a few different education programs, and they would like to visit locations such as schools in the province to share the information and knowledge about Alberta’s sports history.

She said they bring artifacts and sometimes games, depending on the program.

“For example, one of them is an adaptive sport program, so we talk about some of the different athletes who are in the Hall of Fame that play adaptive sports,” she said. “We also have artifacts like a glow ball or a blind hockey puck.”

Colling added that, in that specific situation, the kids will be able to try the sport themselves and learn more about it.

“This way you get a taste of what adaptive sports is like,” she said.
