The only thing hotter than the weather is the great golf being played by so many members. Congratulations to Robert Divine for taking
the overall title in the President’s Cup with net scores of 65-67. Also, congratulations to the players that recently joined the hole-in-one club. Jeff Caplenor aced #17 on May 29, Jeff Brewer holed out at #3 on June 13, and Gordon Hulgan made his first ever hole-in-one on #3 during last week’s shoot-out. Way to go guys! Finally, John Friedl currently holds a slim lead over Gene Goduco and Robert Divine in the Player of the Year race.
