FURTHER INFORMATION

>SUNDAY NIGHT DINNER

-We will need a firm count at least a week ahead of time.

>WHO WANTS TO TAKE THE LEAD AS FAR AS A PROGRAM FOR THE EVENING??

>THE SWANSON OPEN at BRECKENRIDGE GOLF CLUB
-We now have 4 tee times scheduled for Saturday, July 2nd at 2:30 PM, 2:40 PM, 2:50 PM and 3:00 PM on the Elk Nine and Beaver Nine! (-see the link to the Breckenridge Golf Club for description).
- The daytime price is a little prohibitive of $125, but the twilight rate is $75 and that includes a cart. The Twilight rate starts at 2:30 PM. So, it will be $75 per person.
-A link to the website for the golf course is in the right hand column.
-RENTALS
-Rentals are $42 for 18 holes. See link to Breckenridge Golf Club in right margin.
-The Concierge reports to me that they have about 20 golf sets for rent, so we should be covered!
PLEASE let me know who will need to rent, so I can let them know how many we will need? (Looks like - Peter, Torey, Erik, Kurt, and Paul will need clubs so far.)
-PLAYERS - Currently I am counting the following players as definite players: Tom, Adam, Tyler, Peter, Torey, Erik, Kurt, Mark, Nathan, Kirk, Paul, Jon, Matt, Scott. (14)
-MAYBES: Laef, anybody else? - I have made an additional tee time at 3:00 PM as it looks like we likely will have more than 12 players! But I need to know a solid count by 1 week before we play!

-At right is the link for the website for Kodi River Rafting. You can check out the options they have if you are interested.

>TENNIS ANYONE?
-I will bring several tennis racquets if any body wants to get a challenge to Wimbledon going!
