A young boy from Airdrie will be representing Canada at the 2019 US Kids World Golf Championship this summer.

Chase Strang, 9, qualified to represent Western Canada at a Canadian Junior Golf Association Tournament a couple of weeks ago.

Chase’s mom Jackie Strang said golf is one of her son’s many passions when it comes to sports.

“Last summer I think I dropped him off nearly every morning at Woodside and he’d practice every day,” Strang explained.

The 9-year-old doesn’t have a lot of tournament experience under his belt yet, this past one was only the second time he’s competed, but none the less he stamped his ticket to North Carolina.

“He’s been swinging a golf club basically since he could walk,” said Strang. “Last year was his first year of doing actual tournaments. Last year he came in third, this year he got it.”

Chase will be playing at Pinehurst Golf in North Carolina August 1st to 3rd as part of the 2019 US Kids World Golf Championship.
