Upon arriving at their carts the golfers found tee packs consisting of 2 sleeves of Masters and Wardens Tournament Logo balls, a key chain with the same logo, tees, ball markers and various snacks to tide us over until dinner. After getting score cards all 12 teams headed out to their respective starting holes and at the sound of the gun play began. I have to say that it was a most impressive sight to see 24 golf carts full of enthusiastic Masons, their friends and relatives begin to lay seige to a very challenging golf course. After 4 hours or so these were the results.
