A road trip to Lake Lure is scheduled for sept. 14th through the 16th. There is room for eight, five have reserved slots. Three more golfers are needed as we are renting a house. The deal includes two nights lodging and three rounds of golf for $178.00. It has been suggested we look into cooking the evening meals since we will have access to a grill and full kitchen. Let Tommy know if you are interested as he needs to lock in the dates.
