We were concerned that the tournament would fall apart, with the threat of rain, and no carts. Communication from members whose chose not to play was good. The actual turnout was greater than expected. Thanks to Peter Cary for setting up and scoring this tournament.

Tournament Recap:
Great day for golfing in Southern California! Congrats to all our winners and thanks to all those who were trying to keep up the pace of play. We all know how to keep up with the group in front of us but there are still those who are making a 41/2 hour round into 5 plus. We missed our President Mr Cloud today, but I’m sure he’s enjoying the sun and fun in Hawaii. Thanks from me to Ron Plummer for assisting me with getting our results out accurately and timely. - Bret

Tournament recap (corrected):
Thanks to Peter Cary for setting up and scoring this tournament.
We had a good day to play this away event at the Talega Golf Club.
Pete Hagen shot the lowest gross (77). Alan Wurtzel has the lowest net (68). The team of Basile, Drennen, McCrea & Supple won low team net (10 under par). Only two skins were won, with lots of birdies cancelling each other. Bob Kirchgessner and King Ling Wong were the only winners of net skins. Lots of birdies, and two holes of eagles, cancelled each other.
Thanks to Mike Drennen for helping to set this up.
