With the cooperation of Kyle Whittaker and his staff at the Links at Dardenne and our members being punctual with our request to check-in early, we were off at 7:30 AM. We will attempt to start our Thursday outing earlier whenever the forecast has high temperatures predicted. The course was in excellent shape considering the hot weather we have experienced, the fairways were a plush green and the greens too were excellent. Our pairing's list sent to the course on Monday stated a group numbering 110 players but by the time we arrived the group had dwindled to 95 players. With the full cooperation of our members the recomposing of teams was made in sufficient time to still meet the 7:30 AM start.

The "A" Flight found four teams at a minus ten but using hole #10 as the playoff hole the winning team was Duane Jefts, Doug Torrie, Ted Isringhaus, and Alex Horvat.
