Jeff Saunders attended the presentation after the game to show off the scar from his knee replacement surgery. It has been 6 weeks since his surgery but he may not be back at golf for another 2-3 weeks. I am sure that Susan will be very happy for him to play golf on Saturdays again.

The greens were in good condition with a thick mat of grass making putting challenging.
