It was windy and cold. The temperature was quickly dropping. A few JP Wolves, were not able to capitalize and take advantage of the short and reachable 5th hole (par 5). Many settled for a bogey or a par, except for Andy and Matt making birdies. Wolves fall to the Knights this time. Congratulations to Arnold David Jr, Matthew Kreitzer, Nicholas Spadafore, and Joe Spadafore on their low scores in Match #3.
