Pang tees up

More than $30,000 in golf equipment is bound for Pangnirtung for the Christmas holidays.

That’s more than 1,000 golf clubs, 8,000 golf balls, along with golf bags, shirts and shoes.

Kids in the community enjoy golf but don’t have proper equipment, according to Peter Kilabuk, MLA for Pangnirtung, who organized the effort. First Air is flying the equipment free of charge and will host a golf clinic this winter.

The equipment will be given out during Christmas celebrations.
