Discussion: Bring back Stumptown Bag tags?
Jesse Miller: Moved here 5 months ago from the Bay area. NorCal area has a lot of bag tag leagues that operate. Could be a good fundraising initiative as well as getting the community more involved in casual bag-tag rounds. Is interested in hosting bag-tag events as well where you would earn ratings. Bernal Bruns to help with this effort.
