A fundraising dinner/auction tonight at West Seattle Golf Course wrapped up the Seniors for Juniors Tournament festivities – hosted by Alberta “Birdie” Griffey, mom to Seattle’s best-known baseball star, pictured above with Robert Woodard, who coordinated the tournament for Fir State Junior Golf. Here are the junior golfers, posing before teeing off:

As for the “senior” golfers – here’s one you’ll likely recognize — former Seattle Mariners player Dave Henderson (1981-1986) teeing off at the 1st hole:

This was the third annual Seniors for Juniors tourney – raising money for the Northwest Senior Games and for young golfers. Dozens participated, as you can see in this photo from Sharonn Meeks:

Each team was co-captained by a junior and “senior” (50+) golfer.

    Great day for golf and the fun of playing the game with so many talented youth. Who mentors who?

    I just want to thank Candace Oehler the other co-coordinator of this tournament. I appreciate your many hours of planning and hard work in making this golf tournament a success for our Junior Golfers. You “rock”.

Sorry, comment time is over.
