Kudos to the Jim Simmons, CGCS, the maintenance staff at Shoal Creek and all the volunteers who helped prepare for the Regions Tradition Tournament. Scored another EAGLE with amazing course condition!

Thanks to Saugahatchee Country Club and architect Kris Spence for giving a tour of the greens construction underway at the club. Mr. Spence shared useful information with all present and took them on a walking tour of the work. Also thanks to Lee Bailey, Ross Bridge, who was instrumental in making the arrangements for the outing.
