Jim Wegman, Publicity
We began a new two-course rotation on May 10 and a new start time of 7:30 a.m. Here is hoping the Lakes will be open again in early November.
Sadly, we have lost four former Niners. Although they were no longer active in the league, they were old friends and fellow golfers. Maurice “Moe” Beaudin, a good guy who always had a good day on the course. Our condolences to Patricia and the family. George Kanda, who made friends with every guy in his group and was fun to play a round with. Our condolences to Karen and the family. William “Bill” Holmes. Bill talked more about trucks, target shooting, and Long Island than golf, and we laughed through a lot of rounds. Our condolences to Madeline and all the Holmes family. Renny Vowell, a guy who knew many great jokes, shared them all, and was a pleasure to play golf with. Our condolences to Rene’ and all the Vowell family.
