2014 Alaska Open Tournament

Another fine time was had by all at the 2014 Alaska Open Tournament at the Sycuan Golf Resort in El Cajon, California. Located in southern California near San Diego, golfers emerged on El Cajon in force via air into San Diego and via autos and motor homes on the freeways and mountain roads to attend this fun event.

During registration, a putting contest was held, and food and beverages were in abundance to welcome everyone to Sycuan. Winners of the putting contest were:

FIRST PLACE - JP McGowan                TIED FOR SECOND PLACE - Tim Whiting & Randy Lail

The Best Ball Scramble happened on the first day, and winners were:

FIRST PLACE - 67:           SECOND PLACE - 68:           THIRD PLACE - 69:
Bob Winter                         Jeff Hansen                                Dan Rear
Dave Hunt                          Tim Dimond                               Ted Thorp
Tim Whiting                        Brian Parker                              Al Walker
Barb Whiting                      Shana Ferguson                         John Bean

The rest of the Skills winners are listed on the website.

Two wonderful dinners were served with the rest of the evenings available for golfers to get together with their friends, renew acquaintances, and make new friends. And possibly to get a good night's sleep for the next day's tournament events!
