The groups took to the course early with pre-tourney preparations (check out the photos).  The opening 9 was the back nine at Mill Cove Golf Course.  The temperature was cool at the 8:50 am tee off time, but warmed up quickly with beautiful blue skies.  The tournament was full of surprises, both good and bad (check out some photos from the tourney).  The elder David scored an excellent 44 on the final nine to come in at 92 and take the tournament.   Robi again managed to eek out a Grossest Gross award with a 124 over Mike T's incredible come back on the back nine with a 54 to shoot a spectacular 118.  David W., though shooting way above his handicap, managed to get his name on every proximity award available two of which Scott stole away from him (check out some more photos of the tourney).  Andy and Ron both contributed to the excitement with two superb shots of their own.  Andy chipped in a shot for par on the number 15 hole from 30 yards off the green and Ron rolled a 60 foot birdie putt on hole #2 in much to his surprise to earn the nickname "Ron of the magic putter".  Mr. Remo and Chris shot consistent rounds to earn respectable scores with Mike shooting his best to date and Chris winning the Lowest Net Score award with a 70.  The post tourney ceremonies are always the best (check out some photos of the post game fun)
