2011 Fall Memorial Tournament

The Juneau Golf Club once again held their annual Fall Memorial Tournament in Redmond, Oregon at the Eagle Crest Golf Resort on September 12-15, 2011.

Golfers gathered at the registration area at Niblick & Green's to check in for the tournament and enjoy the opening reception. The first day was a "Best Ball Scramble" with teams made up of players from different flights to even out handicaps for each team. A great way to meet new people! The next three days were tournament play, with players playing with friends the first two days on the Challenge and Ridge Courses and playing according to the standings on the last day on the Resort Course. An outdoor banquet was held in the Pavillion Tuesday evening and the awards banquet was held Thursday evening.

Donna Schultz and Anna Marg Rear, co-chairs of the tournament did a great job in putting this tournament together and the club thanks them for a job well done!
