Hello Spring! Where are the months going? Before we know it many of our seasonal golfers will go to their other home courses, some returning to snow and cold wishing they were back with us, others enjoying some early golf with temperatures in the 70s.
Our month was full of color and anticipation as we gathered for our “Pretty in Pink” mixed doubles during Valentine’s week. We enjoyed a scramble where all had to have one drive on each side. Sounds easy enough, till you reach 9 or 18 and still need that one drive! The winning team for our “Pretty in Pink” was Cathy and Bob Steeves and Alyssa and Bob Klasek.
There were some very close scores out there making it quite a competitive game for all. The Main Deck was so lovely with all colors of pink, including flamingos sitting on top of the beautiful tall vases. They were the work of some real artists, Greta Drury, Phyllis Holley, Leslie Patey, Cheryl Naddy, and Judy Stone, our hostesses.
Needless to say, Chef Richard and his staff outdid themselves in creating another beautiful buffet, very different from most.
During the year we have “Match Play” and some of our gals tend to back away from this format. We are paired with a person of similar handicap and just play the game of golf. You win one, you lose one, you tie one and it goes on to the end. Always a fun event. To help our ladies be more comfortable with this format, our president, Lynne Denk, presented a “Review of Match Play” with a Happy Hour and entertainment by our own Liz Welsh and Lisa Cates one late afternoon. This was well attended and all should feel comfortable with playing again. Thanks Lynne for the review! Well done.
Count the holes that start with a T or S. Yes, there are 9 holes, then subtract half your handicap and you will see who wins that game. This is a fun format, and surprises you when you tally the score at the end of the game. First place winners for each flight are Linda Maness, Theresa Johnson, Ann Croft, and Kay Owen.
Have a great month, enjoy our paradise, and be thankful we can enjoy such beauty! Don’t forget the Easter Bunny is coming and the VILLAGE CHALLENGE is around the corner.
