Fine
Print: Lack of information for this
section. The complaint committee is
suffering from lack of complaints. Mr. Z
should come up with more input for himself.
Dang, that sounds like a complaint,
Mr. Z. take care of that. Rumor has
it that someone wants to run separate skins for men white tees, men forward
tees, and women. Not sure who wants to
track all that and if that is for regular season or just the outing. Again, Mr. Bill take care of that. Can’t find out who but when putting on #18,
nothing is given, Thank You for not conceiting.
