Tournament Notes

Well, the “Wrong” Star tournament was its usual disappointment for those who’s turn it was to be the “Wrong” Star. Each player on our team had a least 1 double bogey on their appointed hole. I’m sure every team was the same, and that’s what makes this tournament unique.

Congratulations to the team of Jon Loeser, Randy Metheany, Steven Lindholm and Jeff Flynn the winners with a net score of 135.
