Ottawa Sun Scramble bigger, better

Top field split into Open, A; D division also added

It's hard to believe, but the Ottawa Sun Scramble City Champinship Week is moving on up again.
The region's biggest golf event has grown from two single-round events in 2005 to a major week-long festival of golf with 648 spots for competitors, in 11 partner events.

And you don't have to be a pro to play. Different divisions allow for golfers to compete alongside others who score similarly. 

Direct tournament registration opens March 1, but competitors who made the cut in 2011 (in any division) can register immediately at ottawasunscramble.com. The 2012 tournament offers two new classes at both ends of the spectrum: the GolfWorks A and D Division City Championships.

"The Ottawa-Gatineau golf market is huge," said tournament director and president of Executive Golf, Jamie Ryan. "We want to give everyone an opportunity to experience competition at their own level and that's why we continue to refine the divisions, to keep it as competitive as possible." 

The 2011 championships saw a major upset when, after winning seven straight Open titles, Allen McGee and Kyle Koski were knocked off their perch by newcomers Curtis Dancy and Robert Mustard who won by four strokes. 

Both teams intend to return.
