P a g e 9 P e c a n G r o v e C o u n t r y C l u b P a g e 9 48 Golfers braved the cart-path-only conditions and the wrath of the tournament committee to compete in the 2018 Front Tee Fiasco. The only thing worse than the wet course conditions were the impossible pin placements on many holes. However, competitors prevailed and scored well in the 2 Man Scramble event, played from the very front tee boxes on the course.
