The 2023 Charlotte Local Season kicked off in Locust, NC with 57 Players from 5 different Chapters. Players experienced a beautiful fall afternoon with temps rising to the lower 60’s. Red Bridge is a tough task with players needing to control their tee shot to give them the best opportunity to score.
