The weather was great for both days of our tournament. We did have some afternoon storms coming our way that caused us to speed up the play of our shootout but we did get it completed before the storms hit.

The Men’s Golf Association furnished breakfast both days and hotdogs following the final day of play. Lunch on Saturday was spaghetti from Carpenetti’s restaurant in Moody AL.
