Ben Did Go 8.0

September 17, 2023.  Congratulations to our very own Craig for completing the annual Ben Did Go 8.0.  This annual athletic challenge brings watermen and women together for a 30-mile prone paddle event from Catalina to Newport Beach.  The event raises funds for the Ben Carlson Memorial and Scholarship Foundation.  More information on the important work of this organization at www.bencarlsonfoundation.org.



"Golf as it was meant to be"

September 10-14, 2023.  Four of our Windbreaker ranks have returned from an epic golf adventure at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort www.bandondunesgolf.com.  Located on the southwest coast of Oregon near Bandon, founder and owner Mike Keiser has described this remote piece of land, with the first course developed in 1999, as "golf as it was meant to be".  Since then, six distinct links courses have been been developed, each with a design and character unlike the other, but all in "harmony with the natural environment".   This place has everything a destination golf resort can offer...restaurants, bars, and other amenities for the golf "junkie".

Many thanks go to the coordinator for the week, Chris (aka Silver Fox, Governor, L.T. - lost towel).  He put together an amazing golf adventure that all will remember for many years to come.
