RMWGC Ready for 2008

Posted January 30, 2008 by Nan Parquette

Before RMWGC members could tee off, to start the 2008 season, God washed the course and did some pruning.  Did anyone see a few golfers pointing out which trees on the course they didn’t want missed?

Due to the weather, January was limited to one tournament.  Three Blind Mice was played on the South Course on the 15th.  Congratulations to the tournament and KP winners!
