Paul Hester, Publicity Due to the untimely and very sad passing of our much-liked Publicity Chairman Jim Roberts this summer, and because of the very disrupted fall golf season, I think that it is best if rather than listing the winners of the fall tournaments and events, that we simply kiss 2020 goodbye and look…
