Schools Golf Tournament Oct. 3 at Plumas Pines Golf Resort.
Despite COVID-19 accommodations, 55 golfers enjoyed great weather, 18 holes of golf, and a large number of prizes. The annual event is the only fundraiser event hosted by the nonprofit foundation that provides grant money to teachers in the Sierra-Plumas Joint Unified School District—giving school children the opportunity to experience the arts, state-of-the-art technology, and new music and science programs. This year’s smaller tournament brought mixed and men-only teams, thus awards went to the top three teams overall.
Winners were as follows:
1st Place: Trevor Womack, Tyler Long, Nick Rametta, Marquis Onorato
2nd Place: Tim Lysen, Leif Lysen, Nick Alexander, Bill Spalleta
3rd Place: Craig Sheridan, Todd Baker, Matt Sheridan, Dave Sheridan
SSF president Jenna Holland said the tournament could not have happened without all the golfers as well as the support of the many sponsors and expressed great GOLF TOURNAMENT RAISES FUNDS FOR SIERRA COUNTY KIDS
