Tournament Format
Originally started as a team event in 1964 - this tournament has grown to offer any player with an ability to participate and enjoy the brotherhood. We currently offer (5) divisions to accommodate any level of play.
Master's Division (Any Age) 4-Man Team Play
Senior Master's Division (Over 50) 4-Man Team Play
Mini Division (Any Age) Individual 54 Hole - Stroke Play
Senior Mini Division (Over 50) 54 Hole - Stroke Play
Super Senior Mini Division (Over 60) 54 Hole - Stroke Play
Our MINI Division was born out as an overflow of players from cities who wanted to bring more than a 4-Man Master's Team. In the MINI Division, individuals will play in a singles type format of your own gross score. This format will be 54 holes - total score. MINI players, play with three firefighters from different cities, and usually will be flighted after the first round of scores. In the past events, we have had between 100-144 players in this division. So whether you work for a small or large department - you are welcomed to join us. Open to all active and retired firefighters.
New Format For 2009
- To encourage more participation and flexibility, our host will be offering a new 2-man format. As always, golfers can only play in one format event. This will make it possible for cities that cannot field a 4-man team to still take part in a team event. There will also be a skins pool and awards in this event. The 2-man event will be offered in (2) categories:
- 2-Man Team (Any Age)
- Senior 2-Man Team (Both Players Over 50)
Additional open competition to all players will be available after Round 1 (Monday) - they are offering a skills challenge event.
Also, after Round 2 (Tuesday) - they are offering a fast skins game
Each event will cost $25.00 to participate. The challenges will be available for sign up during registration.

The annual U.S. and Canadian Professional Firefighters Golf Tournament was coordinated and founded in 1964 by Montreal,Canada firefighter Mr. Roger LaPierre (3/14/17 - 9/23/91).
Since then, several hundred firefighters/golfers have gathered together each September to golf, trade hats, shirts and war stories.
Mr. LaPierre’s legacy and the tournament tradition carries on annually and all
professional and retired firefighters are welcome. New teams and participants
are encouraged to join this annual event.
