ELECTRIC, CITY, Wash. – It was a beautiful, sunny, 80 degree day for the 16th Annual Rattler Open Golf Tournament on Saturday (Sept. 13th) morning.
A record day with 99 golfers in attendance from as far away as Ronan, Montana to the Pacific Coast as well as golfers from the Coeur d’Alene, Nez Perce, Yakima, Colville, Spokane , Kalispel, Swinomish, Turtle Mojntain Chippewa, Crow, Umatilla, and Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes. It was a great day for golf as well as getting to see old friends and making new friends.
A scrumptious lunch was made and provided for the golfers, even with the hiccup of the golf course kitchen closed due to the renovation uncompleted.

The donations from the CCT, Lakes General (Cody Peone), Jackson’s Service Station, Bowman Electric (Logan Bowman), Darrel Dick & Jane Smith, Bunky Andrews, Galaxy Smokes (Billy Nicholson), Terry & Sharon Knapton, and everyone that supported our 50/50 boards are very much appreciated.
I want to give a shout out to Dale Sagerser & his crew for working very hard getting the course ready for the tournament and Shawn Christianson & his crew for getting tables to the clubhouse for the meal.
I want to thank my family for helping run the tournament and prepare the food: Ryan, Rusty, Rhonda, Stacie, D.J., Suzy, Lylene, Kingston, Chasity, Johnny, Brianna and Jolene.
We look forward to the 17th Annual Rattler Open Golf Tournament. Our goal is to do more fundraising and add one or two more team payouts. Again, thank you and see you next summer!
