2008 Fall Memorial Tournament

87 Members of the Juneau Golf Club eagerly arrived at the Eagle Crest Golf Resort in Redmond, Oregon for the 9/8-11 2008 Fall Memorial Golf Tournament.

The sun was shining ... the courses were in excellent shape ... the resort staff was ready for us, and Co-Chairs Laura Beason and Dee Boster's months of hard work prior to the tournament was about to become a reality.

After the initial registration party with appetizers and cocktails, the first day started with a "Best Ball Scramble." Teams of 4 were put together according to handicaps to make the teams pretty much equal. It was a great starter for the tournament.

The next three days were tournament play, and scores were entered for each individual in their respective flights with their handicaps adjusted to the course.

An outdoor Barbecue Party was catered with scrumptious barbecued fare, and golfers and their guests socialized until it was too dark to see!

The tournament ended with the Awards Banquet where we were served some very tasty Prime Rib and the trimmings. Awards were presented to the winners, and door prizes and raffle prizes were also announced.
