NEWCASTLE, Wash -- Zetron's 8th 'Shoot for the Stars” golf tournament raised almost $35,000 for the “Behind the Badge,” Foundation.  To date, the annual tournament hosted by Washington's Most Wanted's David Rose has raised more than $180,000 to help the families of fallen officers and their departments.

Under a smoky sky at The Golf Club at Newcastle and to the music of the Seattle Police Pipes and Drums,  golfers representing local, state and federal



law enforcement agencies from around Washington teed the ball up with celebrities including  Sonics legend Slick Watts and Seahawks great Nesby Glasgow.   "It's always a lot of fun. It's for a great cause and that's my motto since I've been in this city.  Follow great causes and every year I come and it's a great time," said Watts.
