VGA Big Dog points winners for today’s event. Micheal Lopez took 1st place at GCI white sand beach with 67 net. Looks as though you may have skipped the beach a bit. Well done, Michael. Mark Alway was in 2nd place with a 69 net, and Tom Anderson was in 3rd place with a 70 net. The Atta Boy went home with Darrell Doust, who scored a 71 net. A late start and warm weather kept the crowd down. Heard the last group got in at 3:15 pm, a long day indeed. Only one flight today.
