The greens and fairways were turned crimson and gray on a Saturday morning in 2021 when the Enumclaw Golf Course played host to a tournament that raised money for the WSU wrestling program. Above, Heather McCann begins with a drive down the first fairway. She was one of 37 participants who helped generate $13,500 for the Cougar program that year. Aside from players, money came from 20 businesses and individual sponsors, an auction of 28 donated items and the sale of WSU wrestling T-shirts. Phil Burnett, who coaches the WSU team, is an Enumclaw resident.
