LLGA-18 Ladies Golf Happenings!

  • December 2024
  • BY MARY ANN SPRY

My goodness, the month has been a busy one for the league. Recovering from hurricane damage didn’t seem to stop the activity in this community. Our gals started with the “Easiest Holes” and Susie Scharber in Flt. 1 and Carol Donohue in 2nd Flt. took 1st. Right on target was Karen Shelton with both CTP’s. Great golfing, everyone!

The BIG event of the month was our “Welcome Back” where we host our 9-hole league annually. Thanks to Gretchen Phillips and Nancy Yavorsky for planning such a terrific day of looking back at the history of our league. The winning team of the day was Lindy Worrall, Kathy Zelie, Kathy Knight and Lin Muysson.

WELCOME BACK WINNING TEAM!

Special guests were invited to the luncheon, who had been long time League members in the past. These “Legacy Ladies” were very active in the works of our league for numerous years, including, Doris Kelly being Champion of the 18 Hole League more than once, Eileen Lancia Vice-President and hosted many special events, Jackie Dorval who was our LEGA representative for years allowing us to visit many regional courses. Carol Lundgren actively took care of our finances before computers were a part of our system. Wanda Jacobs created some great photo albums and was our wonderful historian. Our 9-Hole Legacy guests are Mary Laferty and Pat Rosen. You can see why our leagues have been so successful with great members volunteering their time for all our benefit. Thank you, ladies, for so many memorable years.

We have been informed that our wonderful Head Professional, Zach Cooper, will be leaving us to begin a new chapter in the life of golf and his family. Thank you, Zach, for all you have done in the world of golf at The Landings. We appreciate the new events you have introduced and the support you gave to us all. Good luck to you in your new venture.

LEGA events are coming in and we look forward to visiting Burnt Store Golf Club in Punta Gorda, and Seven Lakes Country Club in December. We love meeting these ladies and hope to make The Landings proud.

Results for our “Stableford” play were 1st place winners in 4 flights: Lynda Redmon, Pat Bailer, Christy Fitz, and Mary Paulson.

WELCOME BACK LADIES LUNCHEON

The Annual Pro-Am will again be played here at The Landings where Pros from area golf courses come for this great tournament to support Junior Golf in SWFL. This is an amazing event and a terrific experience to play along with one of the invited Pros. Support the youth by sponsoring a sign, hole, etc. Check it out! The date is December 6th.

Enjoy the month and the many Holiday activities that seem to creep up too fast. Happy Holidays to all…visit the Pro-shop for some great gift ideas.
