2017 MEMBER GUEST TOURNAMENT - BIRDIES GALORE

MARCH 26, 27, 28 INVITATIONAL TOURNAMENT - Chairman Liz Nelson and her team did an excellent job planning and executing this annual three day event.

Thirty-one members brought guests to play in a skills contest, the Gold course and the Patriot course.

March 26 - Skills contest from 3-5 with appetizers at Red's Grill.

March 27 - Gold course, best net and gross contest. Each player had to provide at least 6 drives. Mulligans were purchased to toss in a little fun on that very hard course.

March 28 - Patriot course, quota points. A nice second day tournament with lots of balls picked up when not making at least a bogey. Magic putts created lots of birdies for the field.

Winners were plentiful. closest to the pin for members and guests, straightest drives for members and guests, gross and net winners in each of the four flights.

Lunch at Blu Sushi was interesting, not enough tables, ran out of food for the stranglers. However, for us late comers, delicious trays of complimentary sushi, chicken, rice, and other delicacies came out for us to enjoy, in the end, it was quite a treat.

Tuesday lunch at the Wigwam Resort - Arizona Room was a sea of birds! Bird cages, bird nests, towels with birds, pill boxes painted with birds.
