2015 Alaska Open Tournament

Hello Juneau golfers ... here is an update on the great time we had at the 2015 Alaska Open Tournament, sponsored by the Juneau Golf Club in Juneau, Alaska. The tournament was once again held in March at the beautiful Sycuan Golf Resort in El Cajon, California (near San Diego).

64 golfers competed in the tournament made up of 35 men in 3 flights, 14 senior men in 2 flights and 15 women in 2 flights, arranged by handicap. The first day was a Best Ball Scramble mixing up all men and women to make foursomes of pretty equal handicaps. The next three days were for tournament play, playing for top three net scores in each flight. Prizes were also awarded for low gross for men and women.

Congratulations to the following winners, PLUS Diane Mayer who got a hole-in-one!

We had a reception with food prepared by the resort while golfers gathered to sign in, confirming their registration. We had two dinners during the event. While golfers got ready to play, Candy Behrends was busy getting candid photos of the events, and took photos of each group on the course. She's very creative, so I hope you enjoy her photos that I have uploaded to Flickr. If you hover over the photos, it will tell who is in the photo, and there is a section of photos that I just couldn't resist commenting on ... check them out and you'll get an idea of the fun we all had!

Here are the photos ... hope you enjoy them and get an idea of what the tournament is all about ... FUN ... and hope to see you at the next one at Eagle Crest Golf Resort in Redmond, Oregon in September!  Get more info about that tournament at our website: JuneauGolf.com.
