Quesnel local Norm Armstrong took home the trophy for overall low net champion at Quesnel Golf Club’s annual Men’s Senior Golf Tournament on Aug. 12-13.

Robert Ahrens of Prince George, who shot 148 over the weekend, won the low gross champion accolade.

Armstrong shot 77 on Sunday and 135 overall in the tournament. He said he enjoyed himself on the course.
