First Exhibition round of the 2025 season is IN THE BOOKS! Weather wasn't bad, but not a lot of folks wearing shorts out there either. All in all I think it went pretty well. I forgot some things, like a roster sheet for the course, but not bad for first round of the year. Just one thing left now, and that is to get the Points Season started!

Jim Cooney was the class of the field yesterday with his Net-74, Diane came it at 76 and Charlie at 77 to take third. Those scores won't hold much water in a couple months, but I'd say that's pretty good coming out the chute.

There were 6 birdies yesterday by Brent B.(2), Charlene, Scott J., Diane and Jake. We had 47 pars, 116 bogies, 67 doubles and 34 Other.

I finally got the second Winter Meeting notes published, you can see those on the New page (https://defendercup.com/news/news.php) Highlights of changes for the coming year: Absolutely No Gimmies. No mud balls. Annual Dues is $10. Mulligans are $5. Max of one stroke for Skins. Plenty of other things that can be discussed, but won't mention them all here. Please see the Rules page (https://defendercup.com/rules/rules.php) for details. That page 'should' be fully updated now, but please let us know if you think something is incorrect.
