League Play Wraps Up With Season Ending Tournaments
Monday Night Duffers League
46 out of 50 golfers played in the end-of-the-season tournament at Dutchaven. Every hole had a prize attached to it. The format was a 2-person handicapped scramble. There was an optional skins game that teams could play in. Holes were combined (1/10, 2/11, same) The results for the tournament are as follows:
1st place low net: Bob Shoemaker and Jack Daigneualt 57.8
2nd place low net: Dan O’Rourke and Mike Marpe 58.8
3rd place low net: Joel Frisino and Dave Putnam 61.2

Life Lesson
I’ve said it already a few times this year. You never know what your “neighbor” is going through. I sat in a truck for over 1 ½ hours so my daughters could go online as we sat outside the Cheney Library so we could use their WiFi. There are a lot of people that have gone through a lot with this pandemic. On top of that, many of you lost power this past weekend. This potentially led to moving your family to a warmer house, borrowing a generator to keep your food cold, going to a friend’s house for a shower or sleepover, or having to cut trees/branches down or off your property, car or house. Please be kind, your neighbor may need a smile to help them get through the day. You can do it. Keep going. You can’t see the rainbow without the rain. Here’s a smile for you!!
