Play Day Results

Alpha Omega was fun! We had fourteen ladies come out to play, three nine-holers and the rest played Alpha Omega. Kathleen Lee had a great day! She won the game by over ten strokes, she won the chip in pot and she got a birdie! (It was a chip-in birdie on hole #2) Ann Gouchner took 2nd place and Judy Lenz took 3rd. Debbie Cloud had a birdie on hole #17. The weather was perfect and Kathleen put out salad and lunch fixins afterwards.

Tomorrow is Our Play Day :)

Tee time is 9:00 am. Our scheduled game is "Alpha Omega". We will play regular stroke play golf, but when deciding the winners we will take the scores from the first four holes and the last five holes and use 1/2 of the handicap.

Okay, onto another JDWGA item.... Shirley Lee, our Secretary/Treasurer, is having to resign for personal reasons and we need someone to fill her shoes! Could you?

Hope to see you tomorrow!

We discussed the food and prizes for next week's visitation, our committment to the upcoming Jack and Jenny tournament (lunches and a steak dinner), and we talked about a new event, a "Member-Guest" TGIF golf scramble scheduled for Friday, June 19th. This sounds like lots of fun and a great way to encourage new golfers. The green fees will be only $10 for guests and a "bring your own meat" barbecue will follow. Please mark your calendars and plan on participating!

If you haven't already, sign up for the visitation next Wednesday! See you then!

The Razzle Dazzle Tournament is this weekend so that will be high on our discussion list.

See you there!

Opening Day Rained Out?

Today is supposed to be our first day golf with the Women's Golf Association! It's not looking too good from my perspective ~ 70% chance of showers :( I think I will pass. If anyone does play, let me know how it goes and I will post it.

Rally for the Cure

I don't know about the rest of you ladies, but I am exhausted! What a wonderful day... such a mixture of things... from rain to sunshine, from younsters to treasured seniors, from giggles to tears, from great golf shots to well almost.... I think we all came away winners.
