Nancy Nowak considers her next shot.
Greeting from lovely Colorado! Having just completed 18 holes of golf at our neighborhood course; I realized how much fun we all have when golfing in a League. Fantastic ladies, fun games, some great competition with all handicaps, and the camaraderie of ladies we have known for years or the joy of meeting new players. For the ladies in our community who are hesitant about joining a league, please take a Wednesday or Friday and try playing with our members. It is rewarding in so many ways – not just the score, but the joy of playing, getting some great exercise and enjoying a lunch after a round on many days.
When we play golf, sometimes some of our best scores come from some crazy or errant shots. Nancy Nowak had an interesting day on the course where her ball turned out to be in a very unusual spot. What do you do? You can hit it! Or do you take an unplayable lie? When you see the PGA players hit out of some of the most incredible locations behind trees, etc. it is just amazing. I imagine she hit it out of the bush! There are rules for every situation and knowing them can be very beneficial for your game.
Our league continues through the summer in a casual way. When eight or more ladies play, you will play low gross or low net, and payouts are made accordingly. Many of our ladies play on “Fun Friday,” an event that was introduced by Christy Fitz. We all have such a wonderful time, keeping our scores and putts and at the end of the round we get together and see who the winner is after a “game” is drawn from a “bag” that contains several different games. Thank you, Christy for bringing this fun day to the Landings. We will miss her, as she and Wes are leaving The Landings to another chapter in their beautiful lives. We wish them the best.
Liz Welsh will be the keeper of the game bag and perhaps add a few new games to the collection for a challenge as “Fun Friday” continues.
Have a great month! Enjoy celebrating the birth of our country, July 4th.
