If The Valley Club 27-hole layout isn't enough of a challenge for golfers, the cool weather and windy conditions made things more challenging for the first golf tournament of the season Friday and Saturday, June 6-7 along the mid-valley courses.
Scores were generally high for the club's stroke play member championship called The President's Cup. And the new Fazio Nine took its toll on all the competitors in the four men's flights plus the women's division.
Last year's men's club champion Neil Bradshaw (80-79 for 159) captured the President's Cup men's Championship Flight title. Marilyn Celano (77-78 for 155) handled herself very well as women's medalist.
