For golf enthusiasts, this has been a summer to remember in Central Oregon. The Jeld-Wen Tradition was played on Crosswater's award winning golf course for the first time. Thousands of Central Oregonians and visitors lined the fairways to watch the pros, who made it look easy! Following that event, the ladies hit the links in the 2007 USGA Senior Women's Amateur Championship.
The season is winding down now, but not before Sunriver Resort hosts the largest amateur golf tournament in the nation, the 11th Annual NW Dodge Dealers Pac AM. This tournament features 725 golfers who will be spread out among nine different golf courses across Central Oregon. This event started October 1st, and will culminate in the Championship round at Crosswater on October 4th. In addition to the 725 golfers, it is anticipated that another 575 family members, friends, corporate sponsors and writers will attend the event. It is estimated the tournament generates approximately $1.5 million in spending in the local economy
