It was a little bit chilly. Some of the men were sorry that they did not bring a light jacket. We had a total of 39 golfers but we only got 27 pars and five of them were by Jim Greene. We also had one birdie by Dave Malle on the par three, 150 yard third hole. We had seven men shoot under par and four men shot even par. It was the first round of our match play tournament. Four men did not make it and they have until the next tournament to contact their opponent and play their round. FULL STORY
