Phil Olsen announced the second annual Merlin Olsen Summer Classic Golf Tournament
August 17 at Bear Lake West which raises funds for research for Bear Lake. “ Bear Lake Watch is our voice to
represent the lake. If you are not a
member sign up. We have been very
fortunate to have volunteers Dave and Claudia Cottle act as executive directors
and do such a magnificent job at it," Olsen stated.
He added, “The tournament last year was just great, it is
a nine hole course so we will play around the course twice. The tournament is pretty much sold out, but
we need a lot of people to come for an Elegant Picnic after the tournament.”
The Bear Lake Watch reception is at 4 p.m. and the Elegant Picnic will start at 5. Tickets
are for sale on the BLW website. Tickets
are $20 a person. “We make the money
from the sponsors and random gifts to Bear Lake Watch for research,” said
Olsen. “ So I would suggest an additional donation to
support the research.
This also carries on Merlin’s love for the lake and his
family will be there, said Phil Olsen, Merlin Olsen’s brother. There will also be an auction and
raffle. They are looking for more great
auction items, some already donated include a package trip of hotel and tickets to
the Ellen DeGeneres show, a lithograph from the Football Hall of Fame and sporting
event tickets. “Be a hole sponsor, this is
where the money comes from”, said Olsen. “ There are a lot of volunteer
opportunities.’
