This morning we had a discussion on whether to have a playoff now then change to doubles. It was felt that we should continue with triples and have a playoff at the end of the season.
So we will continue with triples, anyone that hasn’t joined us is welcome. Tags in 9:45 game 10 am cost $3.00.
See you on the green.
