It's Time to Play Golf! 

Golf Fans! Arrangements for the golf outings have been finalized ... that's right, this year TWO will be offered!  

The customary pre-meeting event will be held Sunday morning, June 28^th.  This year, in lieu of the Ward Marshal Tournament, we are offering a fun, non-competitive outing that everyone can enjoy. This year's tournament will primarily be a team, four-ball event. Each player will play their own ball throughout, from their usual set of tees, with an overall team score calculated at the end. The Ward Marshall plaque will take a rest this year but for those needing the juice of competition (and having an official handicap) there will be a tournament-within-the-tournament for low net. Prizes will be given for team, low net, and tournament events.  

Sunday’s event takes place on The Great Blue Course of the Heron Lakes Golf Club (designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.).  The Great Blue has been rated for years as the most difficult course in the Portland Area. It is a links style course with water, tall rough, narrow fairways, and sand everywhere. Most fairways on the Great Blue narrow to small greens that roll and pitch in several directions. The per-player registration fee is $85 and covers transportation, greens fee, cart, range balls, event prizes, and tee gifts.  Rental sets are available for $25-30.  Proper golf attire and spikes are required.  

 Great Blue Course #18

For those of you not planning to go on the scheduled tour that ends at the Museum featuring the Spruce Goose exhibit, Monday’s golf outing is offered at the Persimmon Country Club. The per-player registration fee is $55 and covers transportation, greens fee, and cart.  Rental sets may be available for an additional fee; the fee is unknown at this time but will probably be comparable to Heron Lakes ’ fee.  Proper golf attire and soft spikes are required.

 Golf registration is now included on the Annual Meeting registration form.  Please notify the AOSCA office of your potential intention (not a firm commitment!) to participate in either or both of the outings on or before Monday, April 20, 2009.

Please contact the AOSCA office if you have questions.
