Attention Golfers!
Team,
We have two golfers who are delayed in getting in, and they would like to donate their prepaid Thursday slots to a lucky golfer who has NOT already registered. Meaning you can play for FREE, unless you need to rent clubs.
For those interested, please contact Geoff Hitchcock – Email: hitchcock8919@gmail.com / Text: +1 (805) 310-8342
