’Twas quite a month of flurry! Usually, things slow down a bit by now, but the weeks have gone by fast and filled with golfing activity. “Blind Partner” winners were Cathy Goeckel and Susie Scharber with partners chosen after playing, when the best net score was taken of two.
Our annual spring “Play Day with the 9 Hole League” was held on April 11 in a “Hitter Out” Scramble. Everyone had an excellent time, renewing friendships and playing the game we love. Thank you to the 9 Hole league for hosting a beautiful luncheon and fun golf. Front 9 team winners were: Lynda Redmon, Liz Welsh, Betty Koller, Judy Iverson, and Joan Zerolis. The Back nine team winners were: Nancy Nowak, Lesley Patey, Becky Yates, Pam Baran and Leela Dendekar. Yes, we wanted to keep going since we were having so much fun!
Can you imagine a more exciting “Masters” tournament? I think most everyone who enjoys the game of golf and even those who don’t play could not leave the TV that afternoon. It is always fun to see the players, and the beautiful flowers that adorn the course. Several of our members were lucky enough to be there for some of the tournament and were in awe of the experience. Congratulations Rory Mcilroy!
The 18 Hole league is trying something new for playing other courses, such as we
did in LEGA. We held an “Exchange Day,” where Gulf Harbor league ladies were invited to play with us on our league day. We had a wonderful time, meeting some great ladies, and showing them our beautiful Landings course. Winning First Low Gross was Liz Welsh with a 62, and Low Net was Nancy Yavorsky with a 54. From Gulf Harbor Pam Lemon and Elaine Fritz were top winners with great scores as well. We enjoyed lunch in the Compass Rose after a great morning on the course.

How many “Hole in Ones” have you had? Lindy Worrall, golfing on our league day recently, had a Hole-in-One on hole #2. This is her sixth Hole In One and all have been achieved on our Landings course. Congratulation Lindy! That is amazing.
I have covered how putting is so important for achieving a good score, so this month we counted putts and the winner with the lowest number of putts for 18 holes was Deborah Daly with 28 putts. Our greens have been somewhat faster this week, perhaps to accommodate the Village Challenge, and then some necessary maintenance occurred so it was a bit of a challenge to keep the ball on line.
I would like to acknowledge Christy Fitz, our Membership Chair, who has done an amazing job since 2016. She has recruited, taken care of new members, and has kept our directory up to date all of these years in an amazing fashion, besides being a wonderful friend to every one of us. Thank you, Christy, for all you have done for the league for so many years, including our “2 Club” and “Fun Fridays”!
Have a fantastic summer everyone!
