Challenging Conditions Test Vets on Tuesday, July 30th

Tuesday, July 30th, was a testing day for the 39 Vets, including four guests, who braved a very cool and blustery wind. The challenging conditions required everyone to stay rugged up, and the wind played havoc with several shots on the fairways and raised greens. Despite the less-than-ideal playing conditions, the scoring was impressive, and the course has dried out beautifully after a prolonged rainy period.
