365 Things to do in Bend - 2010 Jeld-Wen Tradition at Crosswater

Today Starts the the Jeld-Wen Tradition at Crosswater Club at Sunriver Resort. If you haven't been to a professional golf tournament you're missing out. The Jeld-Wen Tradition isn't just an event for the avid golfer! With a husband in the golf industry I am constantly bombarded with golf, golf, golf. While I find it mind numbing to watch on TV, I thoroughly enjoy attending the tournaments. 

A peaceful, quite afternoon walking around the beautiful setting of the Crosswater Club watching the pros in action is a fantastic way to spend the day golf fan or not!

The defending champion is Mike Reid. Jeld-Wen announced earlier in the week that this is their last year as title sponsor for the Tradition at Crosswater Club. Jeld-Wen was responsible for moving the championship to Central Oregon so don't miss what may be the last year of the event here in Sunriver.
