Here's a quick report of the weekend's gathering of some 
rsg'ers near "Hershey," PA.  

 Weather:  Thor does it again!  Anybody watching weather radar 
for the Northeast would have bet we would have been soaked for three
days...but Friday was overcast, and that's about the worst it got!
Yesterday and today were 60s+ and plenty of sunshine ('course if
one's match wasn't going well, they may have said mostly cloudy;-)

 There was a warm-up match fri. afternoon, and a "Ryder Cup"
flight--Sat. modifed alternate-shot am, fourball matches pm, and 
singles Sun am. which everyone participated in.

 Special thanks to Captains Dave T,. and Thor for assisting w/
everything advice-wise, the teams, and "smoothing over" the times I
was unavailable or needed help!  And the Pros, Lisa & Ben for donating
their time and hospitality, and of course all who came and played!

Here is a table of the roster:
