Hey guys next week is the makeup week from our only Rain out of the year. The schedule changed so make sure your in contact with your captain on what your tee time is. SUNLIGHT will be an issue so those early tee times, just because your team has a chance for playoffs lets not pretend we are in the PGA. If you see your foursome falling behind say “SOMETHING” Please.
We have a lot of tight races still and no one is a lock for all the marbles going into the last week. The last Back tee time failed to pick up the game cards so hopefully their in the locker so those names will be revealed next week.
