Oakwood Shootout: Mark Nilsen, our new tournament chair, has scheduled an Oakwood Shootout for the first Thursday of every month. It will be a flighted, low net game where the first-place member of each flight qualifies for a final “Shootout” tournament on Dec. 7. Sounds like fun!
PS: Thanks to Dan Muth for doing an outstanding job as tournament chair for the past five years!
Hole-in-One! According to the PGA, the odds of an average golfer making a hole-in-one are 12,500 to 1. Randy Moe beat the odds on Nov. 17 on Palms number 4! Congratulations, Randy!
