Oyen Golf Club gets a fresh look
By Joan Janzen
The Oyen & District Golf Club has a fresh new look, thanks to a lot of hard work by volunteers and donations from community businesses. In 2021 the Oyen & District Golf Club Board approved a renovation budget, which ushered in a busy time of renovations during the spring and summer of 2021.
Manager Deb Hryciw, not only took charge of the renovations but contributed many volunteer hours. She was assisted by Tera Dziatkewich, who donated her time to help Deb remove the old kitchen cabinets and flooring. “Randy Barrack donated his time to give me a hand moving the office furniture and pulling up the old carpet,” Deb said.
Brent Hryciw of Hryciw Holdings Ltd. donated his dump trailer for garbage removal and ordered the new kitchen cabinets. He also levelled and installed the sub-floor, built two islands in the kitchen, installed the kitchen cabinets and helped install flooring. Brent was assisted by Jayce Smigelski, who was a very willing helper.
Craig Marzoff of DunRite Contracting looked after the flooring purchase and installation. He generously donated the quartz countertop for the islands, which were valued at $3,000.00.
Derek Kauppinen of D-Lite Electrical Inc. was hired to do the electrical upgrade.
A new windbreak for the barbecue was built and installed by Darren
Opheim of TriO Welding, who generously donated both his time and material. Meanwhile, Bryce Waters of Waters Plumbing and Heating donated his time to move the gas line for the new barbecue area.
The Oyen Ladies Golf League donated $1,700.00 for the purchase of new countertops for the til area and kitchen. Thanks to this combined group effort, the Oyen Golf Club has a fresh new look and is ready for the upcoming 2022 season.
