Golf tournament measures up to hype
Dave Taylor is hesitant to say how long he’s either been participating in, or helping put on, the Kelso Longview Chamber of Commerce’s Golf Classic, but it’s safe to say it was around the time Richard Nixon was President. “The history of that tournament goes way back. It’s a premiere event here,” said Taylor, who sits on the hard-working Golf Classic committee along with Dr. Clay Bartness, Russ Chittock, Scott Fischer and Kelso Longview Chamber of Commerce CEO Bill Marcum. “It’s a lot of fun to play in and network with other
people – fun and fellowship.”
This year’s Golf Classic is set for June 16 at the Longview Country Club. Competition, or play, begins at noon and continues through the day, concluding around 6 p.m. with a barbecue dinner and awards ceremony at the clubhouse. Entry fee, before June 1, is $500 for a team of four, or $125 for an individual. That price includes 18-holes of “fellowship,” lunch, some time, if you need it, at the driving range, entry into a $10,000 putting contest, attendance at the awards
