The Oregon Media Production Association’s FINAL CUT CLASSIC swings into action on Friday, July 17, with an exciting new venue and more jam-packed fun. Now in its 9th year, the annual benefit event will be held at Hood River’s 4-star Indian Creek Golf Club, which Golf Digest calls “some of the best greens anywhere.” Offered for the first time, the day’s activities have been expanded to include a guided winery tour for non-players and a post-game Skills Challenge. The 120 competitors will also have a chance to vie for $20,000 in prizes.
