Thanks everyone for persevering under difficult conditions with cart path only, puddles on the fairways, water in the bunkers, lift, clean and place and rain. The staff of the Golf Club of Amelia Island did an awesome job and we are grateful to them for hosting us. Thanks to Melinda McGrath for coordinating this event with the Pro Shop and to Melinda and Anita Comisky for checking us in this morning.
A huge thank you to Deborah Eady, our Majors Chair, for her expert handling of this event and to our Golf Genius Scoring Team – Cynthia Hastings, Dot Peck and Deborah Eady.
