On May 7 101 golfers participated in the Beat the Pro (Eddy Renio) challenge on the Palms/Sonoran; 89 players were able to beat the Pro. What did the Pro shoot? Well, suffice to say Eddy did not have a good day and the final score is classified information and can only be found on the Mogagolf.com website. The players were able to use 89 percent of their handicap and Eddy’s handicap is 0. Everyone enjoyed the day and the camaraderie. The top five players were Bob Dillon (68), Roger Nordin (69), Ron Gielen (69), Joe D’Amore (70) and Bernie Duggan (70). Those are Net scores.

Closest-to-the-Pin were Roger Nordin, Sonoran No. 3, Jack McKinney, Palms No. 7 and Gar Solomonson on Sonoran No. 3 (afternoon.
