On 8-30 I will plan to give out some old money I have for winners who were absent the Thursday after winning.This is a long list and may come bar money after that if you are not there to collect your money.

After last Thursday’s match one of our players, Ken Bjornson went to his truck, only to discover that someone had scraped and damaged the right side of his vehicle. It may be that whoever did the damage has not notified him as yet or did not know to whom the truck belongs…..or one of you may have seen who did the damage. We are a close friendly group of golfers and it’s important that we be concerned about each other and protect our small community of Lacey Golf. If anyone has information, please consider coming forward and let me or Ken know.

As always if you are not playing this Thursday please contact me no later than 2pm on Wednesday.

See you Thursday
