A pax of 12, including 2 FNGs, gathered this morning. As expected with a large gathering of married men, there were a lot of balls missing, but we made do with what we had. Weather cooperated, was beautiful and a bit of a break from the oppressive heat & humidity of the past week. The disclaimer was botched, muddled and finally finished, so we jumped in.
