The Royal LePage Men's Open starts today at the Portage Golf Club in Portage la Prairie.

Club Pro Brad Young outlines the details of the event.

"This is the third year they've been on with us, and it's been tremendous. We've got another great, large field. This year the scoring should be really good, we've got some players from the city and all over the Province that are coming that are very well known. So we're very excited because the course is in phenomenal shape."

Young says the tournament is a great way to get the word out about how great the course is, which attracts more golfers.

"Word of mouth really goes a long way, and a lot of times these guys from out of town are staying overnight and the whole bit. It's our biggest event here at the course, and I'm hopeful that it does help the community out as well."

The Royal LePage Open wraps up tomorrow afternoon.
