A blog from the Juneau Golf Club of Juneau, Alaska

Sunday, November 10, 2013

The Juneau Golf Club's 2013 Fall Memorial Tournament was held September 9-12 once again at the beautiful Eagle Crest Golf Resort in Redmond, Oregon. With three very different golf courses to play, tournament registrants were challenged in a Best Ball Scramble on Day 1 followed by 3 days of tournament play.

Laura Beason, Alison Elgee and Candy Behrends were in charge and provided fun and games throughout the tournament. During the registration reception featuring lots of food and libations, we also had a putting contest, and on the final day, raffle tickets were drawn for putts and chips and prizes were available in case of a hole-in-one. Prizes were also awarded for "closest to the pin" and "straightest drive" on designated holes each day.

Congratulations to the winners!

A big thank you also  to Candy Behrends who took over 900 photos, capturing our golfers in sometimes awkward situations. She also took group photos, and photos at the registration welcome party, putting contest and dinners and awards ceremony. I have compiled these into a few groupings to tell the story of our tournament. Click here for photos of the 2013 Fall Memorial Tournament.
