After a two-year COVID hiatus the Annual Quail Classic tournament resumed much to the delight of everyone. The theme this year was “Around the World in 18 Holes”. It was artfully planned under the leadership of Audrey Costello and Margaret Falconer who managed to engage a large group of volunteers. A full field of members and their guests some of whom were local residents and some who traveled long distances played in the event.

The event was kicked off with a cocktail party and putting contest all to the sound of a bag pipe musician playing on the green.

The tournament was a two day eclectic event in which the teams tried to better their scores from day one. There was also a poker game where players received their poker cards from Passport Agents stationed around the course. Players were flighted by eight cities around the world and prizes were awarded to four gross and four net places.
