The Upper Peninsula Sports Hall of Fame golf outing returned after a multi-year hiatus to the Pictured Rocks Golf Course on Saturday, July 15. The event hosted 21 teams of 84 total golfers in the fundraiser for the UPSHOF scholarship fund.

Local referee and former Munising Athletic Director Dee Jay Paquette is the President of the UPSHOF and organized the event.

“I was very pleased with how it turned out,” he said. “We did it in the past, but for one reason or the other it died out. I started it up against because our scholarship funds were getting low and wanted to revitalize it a bit.”

The organization raised roughly $3,500 in the event, with teams coming from all over the U.P. to the centrally-located course in Alger County. Paquette said that there was a chance they may continue to hold the outing, but it depended on available resources.

“We’ll see. I’ll talk to everyone involved and if everyone was happy with the results, we’ll go from there,” Paquette said.
