20 golfers traveled to Eagle Ridge Resort in Galena Illinois for our annual golf outing. The weather cooperated with us and kept us dry but the winds tried to blow us off the hills of Galena. It didn't keep us from having a good time. There were several highlights and some very good golf. The shot of the trip was JD Dunehew's eagle 2 on the tough number 17 at the General from 120 yards. Special thanks to Barry and Benny for all of the Pepperidge Farm treats and as always the Master of Coin. We will return to Kellogg GC on Sunday at 8:20 am and we have 3 openings
