The season rolls on as I write. Yesterday, February 1, we had a huge turnout for our first Saturday of the month. Of course, it was “bacon day” as we fondly call it and that’s always cause for a big turnout. A total of 110 golfers hit the links and there was plenty of great golf being played including an eagle 2 on hole #6 and a hole-in-one on hole #16. After golf we all enjoyed a beautiful spread, put on by the LYGTC Food and Beverage staff.
Coming up in March is the popular LMGA championship, which will be played out over several days, in a variety of formats, depending on the flight you choose.
The Overall Championship will be played in a stroke play format where competitors will play three rounds on March 8, 10 and 15. There will be no handicaps in this flight and the overall winner will be the player with the lowest gross score after three rounds.
In the Senior Championship players will play up to four rounds of match play on March 8, 10, 12 and 15 with handicaps, played from the golfers’ “normal” tees. Players must be older than 75 to compete in this flight.
All other players will compete, with handicaps, in a flighted match play format on March 8, 10, 12 and 15.
This is a great event for our LMGA members. Families and friends are welcome to walk the course with their favorite golfer on the final day of play.
Lastly, on March 21, the LMGA will host Rocky Ford and the entire Landings golf course maintenance crew at a luncheon at RonDao’s restaurant. This annual event is very popular with Rocky’ s hard working crew and we look forward to hosting them again this year.
Enjoy the fine Florida weather and the beauty of our well-manicured golf course.
