Ultimate golf shoot-Out for a jaguar on washington marine barge

Aug 25, 2005

By Catherine Barr

 

The 2005 Ultimate Shoot-Out is aptly named because today, one lucky amateur golfer will be taking home a brand new Jaguar or Ranger Rover automobile. Conceived by the sports marketing partners at Pursuit Productions, the event required the construction of a 6,700 sq. ft. floating green by North Van's Washington Marine group. Last week's preview in North Van gave everyone a chance to see what's in store today at Canada Place as contest finalists tee it up in front of spectators for the shot of a lifetime.
