NO HANDICAPPING TODAY as it was a fun day.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY: There would have been too many highlights to mention today as we had casual golf rules in place and I am sure that we all had plenty of good moments.  I was witness to one highlight in my team that is worth mentioning.  Anne Burgess hit a beautiful drive down the 16th fairway & followed that up with a 7 iron shot to the green that was never going to miss going in the hole for an EAGLE 2/5.  CONGRATULATIONS ANNE!  Footnote:  Anne did not use any of the casual rules on this hole to gain that score.

CONGRATULATIONS to the Committee and Social Committee that put together a great day that everyone enjoyed.  All monies raised on the day went towards Breast Cancer Research which is a worthy cause that we all love to support.  The lady member's also put in a good effort supplying goods for the produce stall & all the players supported well by buying just about everything on the table as well as participating in the raffles and other fund raiser projects of the day.An amount of approximately $2000 was mentioned as money raised on the day, however I will confirm that amount when everything has been tallied up.

A big thank you to Scott Cubis & Tom Ballard who were hitting our drives off the 10th for a $2 donation to the Breast Cancer Foundation.  Tommy put my drive just short of the drain & the ball was sitting nicely on the fairway.  It takes two of my good shots to get that far.  Thanks Tommy!  Thanks also to Ron Beechey who collected the $2 donations at the 10th tee.
