What a great outing at Paradise Valley for NCGAD today!  We had a big group playing today: 28 players!  Perfect weather at PV as well, sunny, slight winds, and great temperatures.  Tough course though for the majority of us because the greens were not easy to read.  It was an enjoyable round of golf for all and a preview for the upcoming 2026 FWGAD.  Also, a whopping 7 players tied for 5th, all netting 74 after HC adjusted!

One more thing, you will notice 4 players did not have their hole by hole scores but have their overall scores.  I made a boo boo.  I left the scorecards on top of the car and forgot to get that before leaving the parking lot!  Fortunately, Robert Herin was able to find them and he found all the scorecards except for 4 players.  After speaking with those players and confirming their overall scores which was attested to by some players in their 4-somes, I put down their overall score and left it at that.  Again, I apologize for the snafu but it all worked out at the end because it is the overall scores that are relevant for prizes and HC purposes too.

We had 3 match plays today – congrats to the winners!
