Golf with the Groom


I have reserved a block of tee times at Carmel Valley Ranch on Friday, June 12 starting around 8:45am. I am planning on putting together a best-ball 18-hole scramble. If you are interested in teeing it up with us and don't mind paying a discounted rate of $115, please let me know and I will count you in and get you more info.

Please let me know by May 13th, either by email (sambuchi@aol.com) or by clicking on "comment" below this post. Since it's a scramble, we should be done with the round in four hours.

I'm looking forward to seeing you on the links and taking the trophy for longest drive.
