Georgene Hildebrand is the 2026 President’s Cup Champion.
What an amazing month of golf the LLGA-18 experienced despite the challenging weather we had on our Wednesday mornings. But then that is typical in January, isn’t it?
The President’s Cup Tournament was held and, my goodness, it was an exciting finish! Georgene Hildebrand and Debbie Daly tied after a well-played round and had to go to a play-off and Hole 10. The league gathered to cheer on the two terrific golfers, and we congratulate Georgene for becoming the 2026 LLGA-18 President’s Champion
On January 1, we had 15 very hearty golfers in some very, very cold temperatures. Congratulations to winner Theresa Johnson, second place Michelle Hamill, and third place Mia Byrne in Low Net play. Kudos to all who played on this first day of 2026!
Our January “Member-Guest Day” was a Polka-Dot Classic with everyone encouraged to wear your favorite polka-dot attire. There were so many polka dots showing how creative everyone was in every color design and style. Along with the polka dot theme, we played “BINGO” golf. Each pair was given a bingo card that each square was designated to find a turtle, fish, get out of sand, hit a tree, hole in one, birdie, find a ball and the list went on. The most squares circled was 21 by the winning foursome of Sarah Noyes, Sue Copeland, Lynne Denk and Bev Reeves.
Each team of two played a Shamble. The first-place team with Low Gross was Lynda Redmon and Buffy Bruenderman.
Low Net winners in the Shambles event were Christy Eyre and Laura Trian.

We played Bingo at our table as we enjoyed a great salad bar with all the favorite fixings. Thanks much to Cathy Steeves, Lynne Denk and Linda Maness for planning a fun tournament for 88 players!
A huge thank you to our Cart Barn crew for preparing the carts with everyone’s equipment to be ready to drive to their designated holes and then rush back after the great morning of fun and games on our lovely course. That 30 minutes before tee off time can be a scramble in itself.
We welcome back Sandy Winegardner and look forward to getting reacquainted and enjoying playing together.
