We will play rain or shine but will move inside and use our stands if there is a threat of rain. For those that are new to playing at the lakeside, the venue is to the right as you’re facing the front of the church. Just follow the sidewalk and path down the hill. You can’t miss it. There are no restroom facilities at lakeside so take care of that before you walk down the hill. If anyone needs assistance, there will be a golf cart available.

Thank you and may God Bless!

David
