” We are excited to offer our Nova Scotia Golf Association an exemption to this years Cape Breton Open. This spot will go to the winner of the MCT Men’s amateur. As a golfer and a father/caddie for 2006 amateur champion Peter Campbell I can say that the men’s amateur week was the most anticipated week of the year. Some of my best memories were watching our best amateurs compete at the highest level during Peter’s time at the amateur level. I hope this exemption can work as a career highlight or a stepping stone for the recipient.” said Sandy Campbell, Executive Director, Cape Breton Open.

We are very grateful to Sandy Campbell and the MacKenzie Tour for providing this opportunity.” said David Campbell, Executive Director of the Nova Scotia Golf Association.
