The players teed off this morning at 8:30 in a shotgun format.
56 golfers are playing in this year's event and that an increase of almost 20
percent from last year.
Marilyn Bussey has the first round lead after shooting a 75 today on her home
course.
But the competition is as hot as the weather. Former champ Dot Bolling is
just one shot back with a 76.
Blue Hills member Janet Cochran shot a 77 today to grab third place.
And Valeeta Pittman is still within striking distance after posting a 79
today.
Tomorrow the event shifts to Blue Hills before finishing up at Hunting Hills

It's a tradition that's getting a lot of exposure, but no one seems to
remember how it got started.

SUPER=03-San Clemente, CA;
Every year for the past 18 years patrons of the Mugs Away Saloon in San
Clemente, California have greeted the Amtrak train with a rather cheeky salute.
They all gather in front of the bar to moon the train heading for Los
Angeles.
This year's crowd included people of all ages and sizes including a
grandmother who was preparing for her first mooning.
