It was 9:00 AM.
A shotgun blast echoed in the morning air and volleys of golf balls arched through the air. This was the beginning of Sacred Heart Council #8659’s annual golf outing at the Fountains Golf and Banquet Center in Clarkston, MI.
Everyone enjoyed the golf, fraternity and even a little bit of inter-council rivalry. There were raffle items as well as prizes for longest drive and closest to the pin. All the proceeds went to fund this next year’s fraternal giving.
