Charity Golf Tournament in Lusby

I played at the first annual Neurofibromatosis Golf Tournament for a neighborhood friend this past Friday. It was a great day for golf. We played at the Chesapeake Hills Golf Club in Lusby Maryland - a stones throw from Solomon's Island. We had a good tourout for a great cause. The greens were not in the best of condition though. In fact the greens were like sand traps - mostly sand with pathes of grass here and there. The reason given was a fungus had attacked the grass and they're working on it.

It was a Captains Choice and my foursome shot a 65. But it wasn't good enough to win. Groups came in with a 56, 57 and a 62. So we were fourth and out of the money.
The tournament had some intersting rules. Because of the desert like conditions of the greens you could move your any distance within a club length not closer to the hole. A real interesting rule was that every member of a foursome could throw the ball forward without penalty. Yes throw without penalty. Each member got one toss for the front none and one for the back nine. You couldn't toss on the green though.

Even though our foursome didn't win I did win a door prize of a cool golf clock. Maybe I'll get it engraved and say its a trophy.
