This was the Elk’s Lodge Dick Sullivan Memorial tournament. Perfect weather, course in great shape. It was a full scramble event with one score for the team: Tom Luschini, Tom Shaw, Jim Vanmable. We started on Hole 5A. Attendance was definitely off, probably about 40%. Hot dogs before but no chips. A six pack per man but no little cooler. Tom L. Was our best player by far. Jim struggled and was not his usual steady player. Tom S. Was only so so. I was there, about all I can say. My knee was so bad and is still bad as I write this on Monday A.M. Took Tom Shaw’s “shortcut” back to the lodge for the steak dinner. My door prize was 12 Bridgestone golf balls, not the real expensive ones. I guess this was Dr. Tom’s last year to run the event. I think they had too many of those contests on every hole. The putt ones only slowed play down as guys over analyzed those shots. Still a good tourney for the cost.
