2026 Full Swing Invitational Golf Tournament

REGISTER HERE: https://2026fullswinginvitational.eventbrite.ca

Golf has long been a cornerstone of the energy industry - a place where relationships are built, opportunities are created, and business gets done. Yet, many women have not historically had the same access, exposure, or encouragement to confidently step onto the course. The Full Swing Invitational Golf Tournament is designed to change that.

Now in its second year, this tournament brings together women across the energy sector—whether seasoned golfers or those picking up a club for the first time—in a supportive, welcoming environment focused on connection, confidence, and fun. With a relaxed scramble format, women can build their skills, expand their networks, and gain comfort in a space that has traditionally been a barrier to entry.

This year, the tournament will also feature two (2) optional on-course fundraising activations in support of the Summit Scholarship, which provides Indigenous women in the energy sector with access to attend the 2027 Summit. By participating, attendees are not only investing in their own growth but helping create pathways for others to access the same opportunities.

Through a strong community of industry professionals and an intentional focus on inclusion, the Full Swing Invitational Golf Tournament ensures that women are not just invited to the game—but empowered to play, connect, and lead.

Whether you’re refining your swing or stepping onto the course for the first time, this tournament is your opportunity to build meaningful relationships, grow professionally, and claim your space—on and off the course.
