YEAR END Event!
Oct 24 at Poppy Ridge, Livermore
The year end event will be at Poppy Ridge in Livermore. We will be playing the Merlot & Chardonnay nines. ERROR CORRECTION: I misunderstood - Poppy Ridge cannot let us go out on both nines for this event, so it'll be up to us to keep up the pace! The year-end event includes prizes and awards and a raffle. $105 cost includes breakfast, golf and cart.
You can also sign up for breakfast only for $20.
We hope to see you all there!
