Hello Everyone,
I finally got through the results of our Monday game vs. Holiday Island. The Holiday Island person responsible took off right after his match and didn't stay around to help with the final accounting.
Thanks to everyone that played and I hope you'll play when we go to Holiday Island on July 19th. I'll get a sign up sheet to the pro shop asap.
The match was very close until we got to our last pairings where the handicaps were not very even, resulting in Cassville being behind 49 points to 47 points. I'm sure we can overcome a 2 point deficit. If you know now that you'll play please email me and let me know. Here are the individual pairings scores.
