We had 25 people show up to play and donate to Jewish Family Service.

 The tournament was split into three rounds. The first round was a normal round, and everyone played the course. The second was optional and you could gain -2 on your first round score. Then the third round was the same as the first.

 In the end, 6th grader Hallie Long took home first place. Everyone had a great time, and we raised more than $1,000 for the Jewish Family Service food pantry.

 Thank you to Sierra Lautman, Dave Flagler, and Kate-Lynn Cipolla for helping to plan a very fun, awesome, and meaningful day.
