for the educational outreach fund. Many thanks to everyone for their
support.

1st place - trophies and BCC golf towels and caps
2nd place - trophies and duffle bags
3rd place - trophies and boxes of balls and bags of tees

Closest to Pin - Wine and Plaque
Putting Contest - Wine and Plaque

Mulligan/Poker Game - A foursome at BCC

We look forward to the next tournament which will be announced with a
