It turned out to be a good day, not sure why most of the morning field pulled out of the competition. No wind or rain. It was an absolute pleasure playing in the morning field. The course held up with the most recent rain and thunderstorms.

No dramas today with the new hole switch with the 2 par 3’s all reports indicate a success transition.
