The Eugene Schmuck Foundation’s 2024 Manzanita Open golf tournament was another roaring success! It was the 27th time ESF has ran the tournament and the 38th time the Manzanita Open has been held. We had good weather 90% of the time, a pretty nice late spring weekend for the Oregon Coast with just a few sprinkles or showers that didn’t last long.
Our tournament couldn’t happen without the support of all of our volunteers, sponsors, donors, and players that come out and participate every year. The burger and hotdog tent was as popular as ever, burritos and scones were on hand for the breakfast crowd, and cold drinks were always a hit. The tents were set up in a whole new configuration for us this year which allowed for the tee box and surrounding grass to stay nice and lots of mingling and visiting was possible. We heard many positive comments about the new placements and the ESF Board was happy with it too. The chipping and putting contests were in full view now that the former ESF Sponsor Board has been relocated to the side of the clubhouse. Extra crowd support was on hand for anyone testing their skills. The generous donations we raffled off as well as five square board games brought in a lot of funds that all go back into North Tillamook County causes we support.
Manzanita Links puts in a lot of time and effort to get the course ready for our big tournament despite the heavy spring rains we always get, they are an incredible host and we appreciate their partnership very much!
