Last weekend was the annual Rally For Cancer Care golf tournament, organized by the Wrangell Medical Center Foundation. The tournament on Saturday was less of a serious competition and more for fun and socializing. Several holes on the 9-hole course had a different, fun challenge to compete in. Hole No. 2, for example, required golfers to play the entire hole with just their driver. Hole No. 5 required players to tee off with their foot in a bucket. Along with these challenges were refreshments, a photo booth, and a putting contest.
For Saturday's game, Mary An Parkinson had the straightest drive at 66 inches.
Sunday's game was a regular best ball game. First place went to a team consisting of George Woodbury, Rocky Littleton and Ken Madsen with a score of 23 and a handicap of 12. Second place went to Wayne Harding, Grover Mathis, and Brian Smith, with a net score of 24 and a handicap of 15. Ken Madsen had the straightest drive of the day at 7 feet, six inches. Robert Johnson was closest to the pin at 18 feet.
Next weekend there will be another tournament sponsored by Smitty's Carpet Service and Roberts Construction. Signup is at 9:30 a.m. and the tournament begins at 10 a.m.
