January 13th Jackpot Results:
The day ended up being cooler then forecasted, but the high twenties with a cool southern breeze is still not a bad day in January. Hopefully, some day we'll get to see the sun again!!
We had numerous 47's and 46's, but no one could get over the hump and post a 48. We had a coupld of shooters who had the opprotunity, but let it slip away. Jimmy Brand missed his 48 target and Joel Johnson missed his 50th target. Those type of misses hurt!!
Congratulations to Brian Anderson for shooting a 25 straight in one of his handicap rounds and taking home the crisp $20 bill for posting the high handicap round of the day!!
