The Delaet Cup will be played from June 13-15 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan features a Ryder Cup style tournament between teams composed of juniors from Eastern Canada vs Western Canada.

Woodside Golf Course will provide juniors will some challenging holes as the course was designed by renown Canadian golf course architect William G. Robinson. Juniors should not take this course lightly after looking at the yardage on the scorecard.

Players will have good scoring conditions during their first round on Saturday as the weather forecast predicts for temperatures hovering around 20 degrees with small wind gusts. The final round will see the temperature drop a little to about 12 degrees with higher winds, which could give players a challenge coming down the stretch on Sunday.
