Well, the weather has been most unco-operative on the last two Thursdays, as our weekly Mens’ Night event had to be cancelled both weeks due to rain.

However, there are some results from the match play events to report.  Steve Green won the single Mens’ Match Play event when he defeated Frank Yakabuski in the final match.  And Rick Grolway and Charlie Schmalz won the team Mens’ Match Play when they defeated the team of Brian Acton and George Matheson in a tough match that went three extra sudden death holes.  Congratulations to Steve, Rick and Charlie.
