The pre-outing flyover of the Goodyear Blimp set the tone for an outstanding day for the 6th Annual 2 Fine 9s on September 18th at Royal American Links. Breezy and an outstanding late summer day greeted the record number of foursomes.
The conditions were perfect for a dethroning of the three-time defending champ Par Then Bar squad. The beer slingers from Team PBR took home this year's title shooting a 57 for the win. The ChickenHawks took second for the third time, shooting a 59 and Gallo's Tap Room, Par Then Bar, and Team Shawnee each shot a 60 for third place.
When the day was done, a record of $12,000 was raised for our beneficiary, Directions For Youth & Families. A great day indeed.
