2009 Fall Memorial Tournament - Eagle Crest Golf Resort, Redmond, OR

2009 was the second year for Co-Chairs Laura Beason and Dee Boster, and they continued the tournament at the Eagle Crest Golf Resort in Redmond, Oregon. I'm late in posting this ... a year late, in fact, but that doesn't mean we didn't have a great time! It's always fun to get together with old friends, meet new friends, and enjoy a few rounds of golf along with the camaraderie.


We had the normal agenda of 4-person team best-ball scramble the first day followed by 3 days of stroke-play competition. Players were divided up into flights according to their adjusted handicaps, plus a senior division for players over 65.


A delicious barbecue dinner meal was provided and the last night we had an awards banquet where prizes were awarded to the various winners of each flight plus the scramble, and closest to the pin and straightest drive prizes for each day's play.


We had a drawing for one person to attempt a 50' putt for a $10,000 prize if accomplished. Mike Strasser won the drawing but alas, he didn't make the putt. However, Cindy Schlaffman had a hole-in-one and was given a plaque from Eagle Crest for this accomplishment, plus other prizes. She wants everyone to know it pays to buy hole-in-one insurance!

Winners of the Scramble were: First Place: Doug Belknap, Bob Young, Bill Buonamassa and Barb Whiting. Second and Third Place tied: David George, Mark Notar, Al Christensen and Dee Ann Grummett tied with Harry Brown, Pat Wilcox and Bill Hansen.



Men's Low Gross winner was Doug Belknap; Women's Low Gross winner was Arlene Smith. Flight winners: Men's A Flight: 1st Mike Strasser; 2nd John Lucas; 3rd Rusty Shaub. Men's B Flight: 1st Mike Gabel; 2nd Kim Custer; 3rd Jay Bruch. Men's C Flight: 1st Jim Arnoldt; 2nd John Schoenmann; 3rd Jim Jacobsen. Senior's Flight: 1st Harry Brown; 2nd Tom Cashen; 3rd Pat Wilcox. Women's A Flight: 1st Trina Jones; 2nd Donna Cote; 3rd Sue Wilcox. Women's B Flight: 1st Alison Elgee; 2nd Kris Burnett; 3rd Dee Boster.



Skills Awards, Men & Women: Day 2 - Straightest Drive: John Bates & Trina Jones. Closest to the Pin: Harry Brown and Judy Lentz. Day 3 - Straightest Drive: Steve Schlaffman & Donna Schultz. Closest to the Pin: John Rear and Dee Boster. Day 4 - Straightest Drive: Ron Hildre and Maureen Danberg. Closest to the Pin: Doug Belknap & Bill Hansen (tie) and Donna Schultz.
