Pender Island Invitational

Beginning in 2013, it was decided that the tournament duration can be reduced to a minimum of 3 days, depending on attendance.

It is made from a piece of gnarled wood from an arbutus (or Pacific Madrone) tree and has the names of past champions (Keepers of The Bark) engraved upon it.

The Bark was salvaged from the Golf Island Disc Park, where arbutus trees are abundant.

Beginning in 2004, the course layout was changed substantially, including the replacement of tone poles to chain baskets on the middle and back nines.

With the increased popularity of the PII, a Tournament Director was appointed in 2007 to oversee rulings, protests, and player eligibility.

These annals include the Champion and Keeper of the Bark, winning score, total holes played, number and location of Aces, and funny/significant events of the year’s tournament.

The PII has grown over the years to become recognized by the community as a significant sporting event that would appeal to locals and visitors.
