This summer, with the sun, surf, and sand, Surf City was the place to be!
And how lucky were we to escape from Hurricane Hermine?! Just some rough surf and winds were all we had to endure.
Undeterred by a rain delay, 99 golfers participated in the Surf City Taxpayers Mini Golf Tournament August 10th at Island Golf. The top of the leader board was very close in all three of the age brackets. The prize money for the tournament was graciously donated by the Surf City 5 & 10.

Lots going on in Surf City this week. The new siren was installed and tested successfully at the firehouse. We had a strong thunderstorm pass through right at sunset and it yielded a spectacular rainbow. And the Farmer’s Market was a sight full of vendors and shoppers happily going about their business.

There were 74 scores submitted in the July 11th Mini Golf Tournament at the Island Golf Course. Eighteen volunteers from the Surf City Taxpayers Association served as scorers for the tournament. Many players brought their A games as shown by the scores at the top of the leader board.
Ages 8 and under age group- John Ligouri won his category by posting a two under par 40. That is a significant achievement for the youngster !
Ages 9-15 – 1st and 3rd place was won by Julian Thomas. Julian, a Delaware native, shot a 33 to win the division. Watch out for him next year when he competes in the Senior Division
Ages 16 + Over – There was a three way tie atop the leader board at the conclusion of their rounds. Finishing with the score of 35 were Ken Cadmus, Beau Guarino, and Ben Skimmons. The shoot out was won on the second layoff hole when Ken Cadmus made a hole in one to end the match.
Congratulations to all the players. Our next tournament will be Wednesday August 10th with a 10:00 AM start.
