The Vic Marion Seniors Golf Tournament is set to take place this weekend at the Prince Rupert Golf Course. One of the biggest events on the golfing calender, participants will be hoping the rain will let up during the two-day competition. Last year’s tournaments were dominated by the powerhouse Holkestad couple, with Brian Holkestad winning the men’s title while Rose Holkestad won the women’s crown.
