The organizers of the annual Smoky River Community Golf Course annual 3-Ball Cash Scramble Tournament are considering changing the name of the tournament making it a memorial event to honour those who have now passed away, who worked and golfed at the course over the years.
Another option under consideration is having the opening tournament at the beginning of the season as a memorial.
The next event at the Smoky River Regional Golf Course is the Sucker Creek 4-Ball Tournament on September 9.
