Report

Thanks for coming tonight. The golf course requires full attention with one fairway looking just like the next. Mixed responses to the small reflectors on the stakes. Too easy? 90’s was the shortest loop and probably best saved until last. Glad that 1 individual succeeded in getting them all. Big thanks to Joe, Penny, Karen, Garry, Tommy and Stan.
