Greetings for the holiday months! The weeks seem to go fast. However, when one lives in a community such as The Landings time flies when you are having fun!

The past month as the league was officially opened, the attendance has been phenomenal and some fun weeks, such as 3 clubs and a putter. Two Best Balls, easiest holes and Net score plus putts with players dressed all in pink commemorating Breast Cancer Awareness month. All this plus the “Welcome Back Par-tee” day with the 9-Hole ladies turned out to be a smashing scramble success. 

Everyone was dressed to describe something you may have done during the summer, such as hiking Canyonlands in Utah, riding the rails of the Canadian Rockies, spending a Minnesota summer with grandchildren, volunteering for the Freedom Service Dogs of America, enjoying the fall colors throughout New England, and more stories could have filled many pages.

There were some winners in all this activity and reporting first and second place teams from the scramble with the visiting ladies. In the first flight, first place was earned by the team of Karen Shelton, Barb Schulte, Kelly Wilson, and Lori Stegeman, second place: Phyllis Holley, Mary Ann Spry, Ginny Minarchi, and Mary Paulson.

In the second flight, first place was won by the team of Susie Scharber, Georgene Hildebrand, Linda Tucker, and Bridget Hampson. Second place went to Mia Byrne, Gretchen Phillips, Cathy Carley, and Liz Marini.

We all had a great time and enjoyed a lovely salad bar with an unbelievable selection of additions, and a potato bar with all the toppings. No one went home hungry after a special cupcake dessert. Thank you, Lynne Denk and Gretchen Phillips, for hosting this terrific event.

Hole in One news came about in the last month with Karen Shelton having her first Hole in One on #17. Congratulations Karen for the excitement on league day. Another Hole in One by member Lynda Redmon made for another exciting day in the life of golfing at The Landings.

We are pleased to welcome Carmen Gross, who has recently joined our league, and a BIG welcome back to Teri Bailey and Lori Emmons. We look forward to playing together.

There have been many notices from our Golf Pro shop about the rules of golf and about etiquette on our golf course. Please read these and let’s keep in mind that we are here to enjoy the game, keep up with the group in front of you, repair ball marks and have a great day with friends and new acquaintances.

Fun days are ahead. Stay safe and well, and know golfing keeps you younger!
