"Vehicles: $17 when purchased at state parks, *DNR customer service centers (cash or checks only) or at the Secretary of State outside your license plate registration renewal cycle. (Recreatio ... more

We have our first ace pay out of the season, I snuck one around the guardian trees on hole 16 and found the chains for $246. $40 remains in the ace pot to build from.

We WILL be hosting leagues still the next few weeks during the holidays, come on out and join if the craziness of the season allows. If we don't see you again, have a safe and wonderful holiday and finish 2020 on a strong note!
