Golfing for gold Olympic gold medalists Picabo Street, left, and Kaitlyn Farrington were the guests of honor and playing contestants Wednesday for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation’s “Golf for Gold” fundraising scramble at Bigwood Golf Course in Ketchum. Street was the 1998 super giant slalom gold medalist and Farrington won the 2014 Olympic snowboard halfpipe gold. Here, they hold the John Harker Memorial Classic trophy that went to Wednesday’s winning team. The Harker golf tournament was staged from 1980-91 as one of the earliest SVSEF benefits.
