The team of Gil Feagin, Russell Eaves, Chris Challender, and Bob Georgiade won team honors shooting 14 under combining two low net balls. Gil Feagin led individual scoring with a stellar 73. See More

I'd love to play at Pinecrest, but am a total rookie. Do you have hickory handicaps. My email is holliscross621@yahoo.com. John Riordan
