Rainy days can put a real damper on outdoor fun for kids of all ages. It's true that puddle jumping can provide entertainment outdoors for kids during a light rain fall. Yet thunder storms as well as torrential rain storms with high winds are simply too hazardous. As a parent of young children the challenge lies in how to keep your active kids entertained indoors when the weather becomes too extreme outside. They're bound to get cranky due to boredom unless you engage them with compelling activities.

The golf tournament will be a best ball scramble format  between four-man teams.

Industry teams will be competing against consistently strong contenders from Beaulieu, Maples, Rock-Ten, Polyamide, and others. To be included in the Industry Division, all four team players must be employed by the industry they are representing. An open division winner will be named as well.
