TOURNEY TIME IS HERE!!!!

March Madness is upon us and not a minute to soon. For the next three weekends our sports watching calendar has been laid out, all college basketball all the time. Whether or not you have seen 1 minute of a hoops game or not missed a minute of your alma mater, March Madness sucks you in. So, what a better way to kick off Opening Night, than to be with a bunch of friends.

It was a great venue last year so we thought, "If it ain't broke..."

Pictures and Recap from Golf Outing at Ruffled Feathers

Here are photos taken throughout the day at the Golf Outing, thanks to Art Durham. We would also like to thank Miles Boone Photography for providing all the foursomes with their own group photos.

In regards to the outing, the rain actually stopped around 1:00 and we didn't feel another drop until everyone was playing their last hole of the day. The winning team of Fisher, O'Leary, and Matthews ended up 15 under to take home the crown, with 2 other groups tied at -13. After golfing was over everyone met and socialized in the Fairway Room. We ate, drank, and raffled off a number of prizes including golf clubs, dinners, and 4-some at Ruffled Feathers. Despite the rainy, overcast day the event was a huge success raising well over $10,000.

We would like to thank all of the golfers, volunteers, and sponsors who made this such a great event. We look forward to doing it again next year (in warmer, sunnier, and drier conditions) and we look forward to seeing all of you there!!!
