Kent teamed with Wanda Synnestvedt, Lynn Pierle and Jane Guiltinan.
Kent tied for fifth in the gross competition with a 73, while Synnestvedt was fifth in the ladies gross with an 84.
“Jane, Lynn and our team just missed placing in the money but it was a good time for all and I want to thank the ladies for playing,” Kent said.
Kent also passed along a new season special where golfers can play an unlimited amount of golf for the remainder of 2018 for $375.
“That’s five months of unlimited golf for only a quarter of our annual price,” Kent said.
And Kent also passed along that the course’s Super Twilight time has been moved up to 4 p.m. Now, $12 green fees begin at 4 p.m. instead of 5 p.m.
The course also has a 20 percent off green fee special for groups of three or more players through Sunday.
