In teams of two, with two flights using the lowest handicap of the team, golfers participated in three rounds of nine holes.
Golfers shared that they had fun participating in the tournament while enjoying the summer weather.
“It’s good. Great weather and it’s kind of a long haul so just taking it hole by hole. I would play this tournament again,” said Jenna Poirier.
“We think it’s a blast. It’s great exercise. We like to carry our bags and make it a true ironman. It’s fun. We like to be out here supporting the club whenever we get a chance,” said Glen Poirier.
