Thank you Golf Committee
How much fun WAS our Golf Tournament at Diablo Country Club??? Thank you golf committee for
ordering us the beautiful weather! Matt and I golfed with Jeff Swindel and Don Campbell from Chevron, our Big Kahuna sponsor. What nice people and thankfully good golfers!
Thank you Scott Bigelow, Wine Shop at home for chairing the event and for wanting to chair again next year! (Enjoy a wine tasting with Scott sometime. You get too enjoy boutique wines paired with different foods with Scott there to tell you about each one, plus an opportunity to order more and receive your wine in 2-3 days.)
Back on the course we had a chance to putt with our drivers…. I could NOT grasp this idea but Teresa White from All State Insurance and Darlene Gayler from Gayler Construction were there to encourage us. Bill White, All State Insurance and Guy Greco, Heritage Bank handled the regular Putting Contest. No prizes for me! I cannot hit my driver normally let alone putt with it! (If shopping for insurance you may want to give Bill or Teresa White a call. You will enjoy every minute of the experience to find out what they can offer you. Also, stop by Piatti’s sometime to see the beautiful and ahead of schedule remodel by Gayler Construction!)
