Golf Leagues Are Underway
Dutchaven Golf Notes: With lots of changes in restrictions weekly, the golf leagues got fired up. Players are ready to go. The weather has been wonderful for 4 straight weeks on Wednesday. The Monday league started with some rain on their opening night, then a beautiful day, then the Memorial Day Holiday. Changes for the league include the foam in the cup. The rule is: hit the foam and stay within a putter length and it counts.
