Golfers from around the area opened the month of June last Saturday by competing under beautiful weather in the 11th annual Jeff Sanders Memorial Golf Tournament at Forest Meadows in Murphys. The tournament is named after former Bret Harte student Jeff Sanders, who passed away due to an "aggressive strain of influenza" 12 years ago.
