Golf Ontario – UXBRIDGE — Since 1994, Golf Ontario has been providing financial assistance to deserving student golfers throughout Ontario who are continuing their education at the post-secondary level. Through the support of Golf Ontario’s corporate partners and sponsors, the association has been able to award scholarships and awards to deserving students.
