Wander the Woods III: Wander Whatcom -- Sponsored by Dynamic Discs

For our third year of Wander the Woods, we are excited to expand to a two-day event with tee times each day.

Every division will play one round at Blaine DGC on Saturday, and one round at Lake Padden Golf Course on Sunday.

Prizes/Trophies will be handed out immediately after the last card returns from that division, pending playoffs.
