A Bearfest bear stands watch on the 18th hole as the late jet arrives at Wrangell Airport on July 26.
The Wrangell Golf Club hosted Bearfest’s 2012 golf tournament on July 26 and featured a 9-hole, 4-person “best-ball” format at Muskeg Meadows Golf Course.
Temperatures topped 70 degrees for the 23 participants who came out to show off their golfing skills in a rare evening tournament that featured a tiebreaker.
The 1st place team consisted of club members Aaron Powell, Mike Ottesen, Jr., Chuck Hay and Tyler Gunn with a Net 19 (team handicap 13) score.
Another team of club members took 2nd place with Eric and Joan Kading, and Keene and Faye Kohrt playing a Net 19 (team handicap 16) game.
Mike Ottesen, Jr. won the “Straightest Drive” with 14.5-foot shot from the line. None of the players scored “Closest to the Pin.”
Because of a tie for first and second place with a net score of 19, scorekeeper Leonard Angerman used designated handicap hole as the tiebreaker, with the top team having one less stroke at 4 on Hole No. 1.
As a fundraiser, Bearfest sold $5.00 “mulligans” and TaylorMade furnished several drivers and putters to lucky drawing winners. A gourmet cheese and salami sampling from Salumi Artisan Cured Meats, in Seattle was also provided to players.
The next event for the course is this weekend, Aug. 4-5, when they host the Totem Bar and Liquor Store tournament. Tee time is set for 10 a.m.
