A busy morning at the Highwood Golf & Country Club as 25 top pros from around Southern Alberta have gathered to take part in a one day professional series.

Strathmore's Brian Bassen, who's constantly atop the leader board at events is in town and says he's excited to be here.

"It's been a good year so far and we're really looking forward to playing Highwood, since they got flooded out. The course looks wonderful and it looks like a great day to play."

Bassen, who's 55 years old says he's enjoying running with guys half his age and says he's pretty happy to be able to still compete with other pros still in their 20's and 30's.

The PGA of Alberta will host their Championships Monday and Tuesday, August 31st to September 1st at Stewart Creek out in Canmore.
