Everyone is responsible for coordinating their own transportation.

The sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board. When signing up please include the following:
Name, phone, email,  Single/Dbl occupancy, Foursome Team Captain (You will be able to pick your own foursome. This will not be your team for the matches). Please indicate if you will need a smoking room (very limited number of smoking rooms available). I will post  secondary sheet to show who will be sharing rooms. I much prefer you find a “roommate” rather than me trying to match up people.

W J won $620 for that birdie. I have already contacted the IRS.

If you did not participate this year you missed a good tournament that saw the door open for almost anyone to win on the second day. Mark your calendars now for next year and if you need lessons between now and then, just get in touch with JD or Tom in the pro shop.
