This year’s outing drew our largest crowds ever. We were one player short of selling out the outing. The short period of rain did not dampen anyone’s spirit.
Thanks to all our participants and sponsors. We look forward to our 2024 event. While a date has not been set, we know it will be towards the end of August 2024.
Hope to see you there.
