The group gathered at the ‘Old Club House’ for the last time and had grilled burgers and extra sides.  

Overall, the golfers survived the hot summer days and never had to cancel a Friday evening because of bad weather or rain. Sadly, more rain could have used.  

They expect to enjoy a new  club house next summer. Demolition of the old clubhouse is to start this week.
