RGA president Jess Wabol said the check-in time for this month’s ace is 11am with tee time set an hour later at 12pm.

Green fee for the east course is $35 and entry fee is $30. Wabol is also reminding members to renew their membership for 2006. The cost of renewal is $50, which is the same price for membership.
