What would you like to see on Central Oregon Athlete when it comes to golfing in Bend and Central Oregon? What would be helpful?

Grad Golf Champion$hip$ is a newly launched “Alumni School Fundraiser.” According to the site:

Enjoy a wonderful day on the links with former classmates from those “glory days” or other schoolmates from past or future years. Have fun representing your school and/or your graduating year to find out who is truly “king of the hill”. The winning teams from your school will all qualify for the league or district championships at a future event. And it even gets better than that. The winning teams from your league, with a little luck and skill, ultimately will move on to the state championship tournament!

This is a great way to enjoy some friendly competition, a reunion with classmates, as well as give something back to your school, school district and your state. Grad Golf is a fund raising organization creating a venue for golfers to reconnect with fellow golfers and schoolmates through competition and socialization.

Bend Oregon Sports… that pretty much is the focus of this site. Central Oregon Athlete features articles and links having to do with worldwide sporting news, Oregon sports and Central Oregon sports, but the focus is on Sports in Bend.
