I have said it before and I will say it again. Racer Productions is made up of a great group of hard working and caring people. I want to thank them again for all of their support.
The golf tournament turned out to be a great success despite the weather. The forecast was calling for an 80% chance of rain. The fog was as thick as pea soup! :shock: The rain held off and everyone had a fun day.

We already have plans for next years tournament to make it bigger and better!

I want to thank Stephane for taking the pics and getting this event organized. We learned about the game of golf together.:lmao Gordon (the Snowshoe golf pro) was awesome and very patient. :D He even trusted me with my very own golf cart.:lmao Although, I did stop and wonder whose idea it was to give a bunch of racers golf carts. :shock:

I have a few pics of my own. I just have to figure out how to get them off my camera phone and onto here. :mad:
