The meal started with chips, dips and, of course, margaritas! This was followed by a lovely fajita bar.

The next day saw the teams at MountainView for a morning start. The format was two best balls and the teams fought very windy conditions to score well. After the golf the teams went to the MountainView Ballroom for an Italian buffet. The scorecards were all tallied and winners were declared in the three flights.
