VGA Big Dog points winners for today’s event. Beautiful weather day and what a wonderful place to play. Try it guys the Foothills is back and looking great. I thought their practice green was artificial at first but no real grass. Bill the Carver was back hitting them straight and won it with a 72 net. Robert Froehlich, Cathy Harvey, Donald Majors, and Alan Yancy all shot 74 nets. Robert took 2nd place, Cathy Harvey remembering her 32 net at San Marcos 9 hole breakfast group took 3rd place, and Don and Alan shared the Atta Boy all on a scorecard playoff. Fun day.
