Family of Sask. man killed by impaired driver hosts memorial golf tournament
A year after Austin 'Auzi' Walker was killed by an impaired driver, his loved ones gathered to play a round of golf for their friend on Saturday. 'It's been phenomenal. It's a day to remember him. It's not a sad day. It's...a great way to honor him while his friends and family could come and just spend a day,' Chet Walker, Austin's father said. The Austin 'Auzi' Walker 2025 Memorial Golf Tournament brought together over 100 golfers at The Legends Golf Club in Warman, Sask. 'As a family, we decided we wanted to do something special for his name,' Chet said. 'We have 144 golfers today, which is capacity and [an] additional 50 some people coming to that barbecue.' Chet shared that golfing was a family activity and a hobby his 25-year-old son particularly enjoyed. Chet added that he hopes those in attendance take positive memories from the day. 'Be happy,' he said. 'Take one day at a time. Enjoy the day.' Austin's loved ones hope to continue keeping his memory alive, and this tournament is the first step towards that goal. 'We really want to keep his name out there. Another thing why we're doing this is, raise a little money to give back in his name for different charities,' Chet said.
