Junior/Senior Recap

The junior/senior event is one of those events that many golfers can remember playing in from an early age. The alternate shot format makes this event special and most of the time players end up seeing parts of the course they normally don't. This year the winner's were Kevin & Chris O'Brien who had a net score of 78.
