Roger and Carolyn Wallace came out on top in the 18th annual Masters Fun Day golf tournament held Saturday, April 13 at the Polson Bay Golf Course. Play featured an 18-hole, two-person scramble, with members of 11 teams winning golf pro shop credits.

The tournament was presented by the Polson Bay Golf Course and Mission Valley Junior Golf Association, a 501(c)3 nonprofit.

According to Polson Bay’s PGA Head Golf Professional Cameron Milton, $3,000 was raised to benefit Mission Valley junior golf.
