In conjunction with the 64th Annual International Education Conference in Edmonton, Alberta, the Right of Way International Education Foundation (RWIEF) and the Canadian Right of Way Education Foundation (CRWEF) are hosting their 22nd Annual Golf Tournament. The Oil City Classic will be held at the Ranch Golf and Country Club on June 26, 2018.  The Ranch Golf and Country Club is a public facility located approximately 12 miles from the host hotels and conference center.

The Ranch is a fun, laid back and accommodating public golf course located just outside the city limits of Edmonton.  It is a unique layout that features a ton of variety throughout the course.  There are open holes, tree lined holes, many elevation changes, several holes where water hazards are a significant feature, and most holes have several well placed bunkers.  The golf course was at one time ranked in the top 100 golf courses in the country and has played host to several Canadian Tour events.  The team at The Ranch does a great job to ensure each and every guest has a great experience and is a can’t miss place to play if you are in Edmonton! More information about the course can be found on their website: www.theranchgolf.com.

The tournament is limited to 144 participants, and all proceeds are donated to the Education Foundations. Registration will begin at 11 a.m. with use of the range as well as chipping and putting contests before the 1:00 p.m. tee time. The fee to enter is $125 and includes green fees, golf cart, box lunch, beverages, and transportation to and from the conference host hotel.  Prizes will be given for closest to the pin on the par 3’s, long drive for both men and women, as well as the top 3 places.  A large raffle will also follow the event.

Rental clubs are available at a cost of $50 per set, and the course has enough to supply our entire field.  However, you must register and pay for the rental clubs through the tournament chair.  The golf course will not reserve rental clubs, they must be reserved through registration.  

Sponsorship opportunities are also available for individuals, chapters or companies who wish to further support the goals of the Education Foundations. Sponsorships range from the Platinum level at $2500, to sponsoring individual holes for $300. All activities related to the tournament will be handled by the RWIEF, a 501-c-3 organization, which is a separate entity from IRWA.
