On Wednesday May 2, 2018, 52 men and 33 women teed off in the inaugural RMGC/Women’s 18ers Par 3 Tournament. A great time was had by including some really good competition. All the holes on Dollar Ranch were set up as par 3’s with some interesting tee box placement. Only holes 2, 4, and 10 played from the normal tee box position but with different tee placement than normal on those boxes. The men played from the White tees and the women from the red. There were 4 flights for the men and 3 for the women for a total of 7 flights. There separate prizes for low gross and low net for the men’s and the women’s flights.

The weather was great Stan Giddeon and his team provided a great lunch with beverages included. Both the RMGC and the Women’s 18ers want to give a special thank you to Brent Mulanax for his hard work in figuring out the scores and the winners since no team could win but one prize. Great job Brent!!
