The day was August 1, 2014. It was hot, bright and humid summer morning for the tee off of the annual Carver City Golf Tournament that attracted many of its regular competitors. The scramble format was exciting and after a long, heated round of 18 holes winners came out with -11. And not a bad day for all the perspiration that was required to finish!
