We had exceptional golf weather on the Village Green today - cool but not cold, no rain or wind.

Our playing partners were Wally & Rhonda Robertson who were great company.  We had some really good highlights the best of which was the girls "smashing"the boys for the Keno ticket and the 12th hole where we scored 10 points on the 12th hole and 9 points on the 14th hole.
