I look forward to our golf outing every year. Anyone who knows me for any length of time has just burst out in a big thunderous belly laugh. For me to say I look forward to anything even tangentially sports related is a feat.

Of course, our golf outing also comes with day long great food so maybe that explains it. (The chilled lobster tails and shrimp with never ending rounds of lamb chops were a great start to the cocktail party. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)

But seriously the Gotham Golf Outing is a great day to just do what we do at Gotham, use time to connect with our fellow networkers, spending quality time getting to know our tribe.

And, of course, a special thank you to Norman Spizz whose devotion and expertise made this day yet another success. Norman has special magical powers in so many ways and clearly with respect to the weather.

I hope you will all mark your calendars for next year’s outing. I know I will.
