2008 Alaskan Open - Casa Grande, AZ

A good time was had by all at the 2008 Alaskan Open that was held at the Francisco Grande Golf Resort in Casa Grande, AZ, thanks to the wonderful staff at the hotel and golf course, with special thanks to Steve and Cindy Schlaffman, the Tournament Co-Chairs.

The tournament was held March 4 - 7, 2008 with a "scramble" format on Tuesday and the following 3 days were tournament play. The players are divided into "flights" according to the players' handicaps, and prizes are awarded to winners of each fight. A putting contest was held in the afternoons and themed meals were served 3 of the four nights. There were also prizes for players getting the closest to the pin and the straightest drives on pre-selected holes.

We want to extend a big THANK YOU to our sponsors ...
