On Tuesday, April 1st, the Weather was a bit of an April Fools Joke from Nebraska. In the morning, 40 degrees and windy. In the afternoon, in the 60's and minimal wind. It felt like two different days. Nonetheless, it was a good day of golf, and we saw a number of players do well at the Cambridge Invite.
