We are going to need that time change soon... the light was just appearing as our first group set out for LGLN.  Bob Harrison took Low Gross honors in a tie-breaker over Vester. Then there was a three-way tie with Craig, Doc, and Tom sharing third place.

The course looked very nice in the soft light of the morning. There was grass on the fairways!  Really. We had two unbreakable ties.  First, Ralph and Kim tied Vester and Paul for first place. Then Neeraj and Doc tied Bob H and Chuck. For others, after nine holes, the morning looked less lovely.

The eleven members who showed up for our away game at Alhambra were treated to a very short course with all the tees moved up due to maintenance of the tee boxes.  Several of the par 4's were driveable making for an interesting round with quite a few birdies and pars. Ralph took low gross honors with Kim one stroke behind and Jim Stowell hung in there for third. Ray took low net honors coupled with two skins while Richard, one stroke back, sweetened the deal with five skins. Nice going Richard!  Jack got on the leaderboard with a skin.

There was a good turnout this morning with 18 players in the tournament.  Neeraj had everything working today with a 1-over par 37 gross score and taking first place in RW&B plus two skins.  Bill Morgan and Ralph were tied for second. Bill tacked on a skin, and Ralph had an on-in-one. Dave and Doc were tied for fourth. Dave also had a skin and on-in-one.
