Wednesday, Jan. 30, Phoenix – Stableford
After Monday’s game at Emerald was cancelled due to the rain, we moved onto Phoenix today and the weather looked OK’ish as we arrived. There were a few spots of rain on the back nine but for the most part it was a fine day for golf.
There were ten groups out in three flights with the cut at 9-15, 16-21 and 22+, and a ladies division as well.
