Taking a swing at winter
Winter has got nothing on Glenn Weir, a Group Leader for Facilities Management, who warms up his golf game in Concordia's Stinger Dome at the newly opened driving range.
The driving range is open until April, Monday to Friday from 11 to 2 p.m. Seventy-five balls are $8 for students, $10 for faculty, staff and alumni, and $12 for the public. It’s also open Sunday 8 a.m. to noon; $10, $12, and $15 respectively. The Stinger Dome is located at 7200 Sherbrooke St.W.
The practice will help Weir stay in shape for the summer’s Concordia Memorial Golf Tournament, the annual event he’s helped organize for 15 years. (The dates for 2011 edition have not been set yet.) Aimed at raising funds for students in financial need, the tournament raised nearly $7,000 in 2010 and $9,000 in 2009.
