Golf tournament Feb. 24 to benefit Dream Playground

SEQUIM — The Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course will host one of the first steps in rebuilding the Dream Playground, a benefit golf tournament for all skill levels set Feb. 24.

All proceeds from the event will go toward rebuilding Port Angeles’ Dream Playground, destroyed in an apparent act of arson on Dec. 20.

The four-person scramble format event will include handicap and Callaway divisions — no handicap is necessary however, as this is intended as a fun event for all.

Registration is $80 per person and includes green fees, range balls, a boxed lunch, drink tickets and prizes.

Sponsorships of tees, greens, beverage carts, golf carts and all on-course advertising are available for prices ranging from $500 to $1,000.

Registration is available online at http://tinyurl.com/PDN-DreamGolf24.

The event is presented by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, 7 Cedars Resort and The Cedars at Dungeness.

Haniger back with M’s

SAN FRANCISCO — Outfielder Mitch Haniger is returning to the Seattle Mariners after being acquired from the San Francisco Giants on Friday along with right-hander Anthony DeSclafani and $6 million in exchange for left-hander Robbie Ray in a trade of underperforming players coming off injuries.

Later Friday, the Mariners sent base-stealing infielder José Caballero to the Tampa Bay Rays for outfielder Luke Raley.

Haniger spent 2017-22 with Seattle, making the 2018 AL All-Star team, then left to sign a $43.5 million, three-year contract with the Giants.

He hit a career-low .209 with six homers and 28 RBIs last year, a season cut short when he broke his right forearm on June 13.
