that doesn’t move and doesn’t hit back. It should be easy, but it
isn’t.” He is so very right. Here are the scores from last evenings

We have been blessed to have played every outing so far this year. We

all so far. The Reverend John Durkin when asked if he was responsible
for the perfect weather at a golf tournament said this, “No, that’s
management. I’m in sales.”
God Bless your week. I will get back with you on either Tuesday or
Wednesday prior to the 4th.
