3-3-10 Gentlemen,
After a 10 minute delay this morning, it turned out to be one of those beautiful days that God grants us from time to time.  I really appreciate everyone's cooperation in playing a new format.  I really did not hear any complaints on the No Scotch format, but I heard comments on the length of play due to the cart path only restriction.    Sorry, I have no control on that one.  I probably will not use this format again until we are able to get more than 50 players and then I will be able to pair it as I intended (AA/BB/CC/DD).  Just a reminder to leave the tape measure and the closest to the pin card/stake when you have been selected to place it on the hole.  I want to thank the Hills Staff in doing everything they could after a little surprising freeze this morning.   I was concerned our delay was going to be longer than it was.
