Who says "bigger is better"? Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Mark O'Meara, David Duval and other top golf pros were NOT present, nor was George, Jeb or Barbara, Bill or Hillary, Dan Quayle, Michael Jordan nor even Neil Armstrong. We all know that the "the ultimate experience is in the game and everyone who dares to play makes it what it is!"

The 40 brave souls who supported masonry apprenticeship at Forest Hills in the blustery winds on November 16th had a grand time.
