Saturday April 5 – Golf at Reston National The first ASGA-DC golf event of the year was held on Saturday, April 5 at Reston Na-tional. 20 single golfers came out to play on what turned out to be a bright and sunny, though chilly, early spring day. The group in-cluded new members Dimitra Hengen and Sue Warren, who won one of the “closest to the pin” contests. Baltimore member, Ray Hanlin, won two of the other “closest to the pin” contests - and no one got on the green on the 4th! Also playing were veterans, BJ Barger, Jan Hren and Liz Walker. Job Tay-lor and Victoria Kanesvsky from MeetUp came out and played with us. About half of the group went afterwards to nearby Vinifera Wine Bar for libations and food.
