Tournament
season returns
After a year of few opportunities, golfers
in Central Oregon are ready to compete
BY SCOTT BARTON • For The Bulletin
A
quick stop by the pro shop at any of Central Oregon’s golf courses will
likely find a line of folks waiting to check in, phones ringing, and the birds
chirping outside an open window.
After a long winter of being cooped up in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it
seems the area’s golfers are more than eager to get back out on the fairways.
While that has become a reality for many during unseasonably warm and sunny
spring weather, there’s also a cohort that’s ready to test their skills in the competitive
arena.
