A placard at the Muskeg Meadows Golf Club shelter commemorates Greg Scheff, whose third annual memorial tournament takes place this Saturday and Sunday. Friends of the late land surveyor purchased the display and installed it last fall.
It was a relatively quiet weekend at the links this weekend, with two teams squaring off during the annual City Market/Sentry Hardware and Marine Golf Tournament.
Eight golfers were teamed off at random during Saturday's mystery scramble, and a team made up of Jerry Bakeburg, Doug Nelson, Wayne Ellis and Randy Littleton came out on top with a combined score of 168. Littleton would hit the straightest drive of the day, while George Woodbury would land the closest to the designated pin.
On Sunday, teams formed for a best ball endeavor, and Nelson, Ellis, Grover Mathis and Ed Rilatos finished first with a net score of 21. Bakeburg would pick up achievements for both straightest drive and closest to pin during the day's play.
A pair of tournaments await this weekend, with the Stikine Sportsmen's Association holding a nine-hole event Friday evening beginning at 5 p.m.
Friends and former colleagues will converge on Saturday and Sunday for the Greg Scheff Memorial Tournament. The event has been held in the avid golfer's honor since his passing in a plane crash on Admiralty Island in April 2016. Signup both mornings starts at 9:30 a.m., with play to follow at 10. Saturday's will be a best-ball 18-hole tournament, while Sunday will only have nine holes to play.
