This tournament is an ongoing celebration of Mike’s life, and his passion for meaningful friendship, golf, and giving his time, energy and support to charitable organizations that inspired him. It is also an opportunity to spend time with Mike and Shawn’s incredible network of family, friends, and associates. This year, we hope to expand the tournament to a full shotgun to further support the Scotty Gomez Foundation, an organization which Mike helped to found and for which he had great passion.
Mike and Peak Oilfield Services hosted the Stanley Cup celebration in Anchorage in 2000 and 2003, when Scott brought the cup to Alaska. In December of 2018, Mike suggested to Scott and Carlos Gomez, and a few others, that he wanted to resurrect the Scotty Gomez Golf Tournament in the summer of 2019, on a smaller scale, focused on those who supported the tournament in the early days. Mike’s idea for this tournament was realized in 2019 in a very fun and successful tournament, and we were fortunate to have been able to host the fifth annual tournament last year. I am sure that Mike will once again be there with us in spirit at the golf course, and he is certainly present in our combined thoughts and memories.
The fee for a foursome remains at $1000, and although our main goal is not fundraising, any proceeds generated will go to the Scotty Gomez Foundation. There have been some exceptionally generous companies and individuals who have sponsored the event over the past five years, including Marsh and McLennan with a very generous annual sponsorship, Delta Constructors, K&L Distributors, Flowline-Alaska, Marathon, Bristol Bay Native Corp, Price-Gregory, and PRA, along with all our team sponsors
Sign-in will be at 6 AM, with a 7AM shotgun start! Our goal continues to be to make this a signature event on the Anchorage golf scene, in association with the Scotty Gomez Foundation, and we hope to fill a shotgun tournament of 36 foursomes this year in Mike’s honor.
