I have compiled some statistics from the season and listed them below for your amusement.
The year-end tournament will take place this week with a shotgun start at our usual time of 5:15pm. The format is 9-hole four-man captain and crew with teams formed by matching up two different league teams. A banquet with lasagna, texas toast and tossed salad will follow. The banquet will happen rain or shine, so please show up. You may find your own subs (no new subs please) as usual. This is the last call for you to ask for your own matchups.
