CHANGE IN REPSONSIBLITY FOR MARSHALS: Finding marshals has always been a challenge, and after several meetings between the SCA Board and Rob, it was decided to turn the responsibility for the marshals program over to the Pro Shop and Rob. For more details, and if you are interested on becoming a marshal, please contact Rob.
AN ANCIENT SAYING FROM IRISH GOLFLORE: It was rumored that a leprechaun left this old message found on the 9th green during the St. Patrick’s Day tournament. “May you always have a golf club in your hands. May the sun shine bright when you play golf. May your golf ball follow the rainbow onto the green. May your putts always find the cup of gold”.
