Grant County beat Harney County in a four-person golf tournament at the Retreat & Links at Silvies Valley Ranch while raising money for both counties’ high school golf programs Saturday in the first annual, “Harney vs. Grant Battle.”

Grant County, in a scramble format, scored an average 62.15, said Silvies Director of Golf Roger Porzak. Ron Lundbom, Grant County team captain and Grant Union High School golf coach, said Harney County’s score was 65.

Porzak said the winning team was to receive 60% with 40% going to the runner-up.

“The goal of this inaugural event was to raise $10,000,” Porzak said. “The local communities stepped up in a big way, and in the spirit of harmony, Ron Lundbom and Scott Smyth, coaches and team captains, agreed to split approximately $20,000.”

Lundbom said Grant had about half the teams Harney did.

Winning the individuals was the Grant County team of Rand Schieve, Mike Walker, Mark Griggs and Kevin Logsden, shooting a 57. Griggs shot the team to the top of the leader board with a two-stroke eagle.
