Duck Club golf tourney July 24 at Desert Peaks
Local Duck and Beaver fans will be settling things on the golf course come Saturday, July 24.
Desert Peaks Golf Course is the site of the First Annual UnCivil Golf Bash. The tournament, sponsored by the Oregon Club of Jefferson County, will include a two-man scramble format, pitting two Duck fans against two Beaver believers.
The tournament, to begin with a shotgun start at 9 a.m., will be limited to the first 72 players to register. The cost is $50 per person, which includes the 18 holes of golf, a cart, gift bag (personalized to your team affiliation) and a barbecue lunch following play.
The tournament will feature two $1,000 chances -- the first (if there is one) hole in one will win $1,000 and a lucky raffle ticket holder will win a chance to sink a 50-foot putt for $1,000. The raffle will be held during lunch and will include Duck and Beaver items.
"We want it to be a real fun day," said Oregon Club president Kelly Simmelink. "We may give each other a hard time, but we're all friends."
If you are a fan of both (or neither) schools but you want to play, organizers will place you where the need might be. Golfers can sign up as a playing pair or individually.
Tournament registration forms are available at the Pioneer office, Desert Peaks and at the Crooked River Ranch golf course. For information, contact Mike Solso at 541-815-2211, Tony Ahern at 541-475-2275, or Scott Whiteside at 541-420-5772.
