Nine-Hole News: Flocks of Snowbirds Have Returned

  • January 2025

Our league continues to grow, currently we are 144 members strong and growing. Each year we welcome members from previous seasons and every year we are happy to welcome new members.

The Fall Harvest Luncheon was very well attended, and everyone once again appreciated the specialty cocktail that accompanied the yummy quiche, stuffed French toast, breakfast meats and fresh fruit salad. Players were also presented with a lovely ornament made specially for Nine-Hole members.

Thanks to the generosity of our membership, we donated $1,000 and 16 bags of food to the Gladiolus Food Bank. The committee of Cindy Brown, Susie Duca, Martha Kohnke and Cookie Smith did a fantastic job.

BEST WISHES TO ZACH!

We also took this opportunity to wish a fond farewell to our head pro, Zach Hammerberg. He has been a great support to our league. Best wishes in your new position! Thank you to our November hostesses, Julie Iverson and Martha Kohnke!

With the new year just around the corner, many of our members are busy making resolutions and some are even related to golf. As you can see, some of the resolutions are serious and some are silly. They might be similar to yours. Enjoy!

“To buy a new putter, or maybe become a better putter, or stop putting all together”

“To find the cutest pair of golf shoes ever!!!”

“To hit the ball better and to think about the steps to a better shot”

“To wear a cute outfit so I look my best at the 19th hole.”

“To make less golf shots and more birdie shots.”

“To try to hit over the water on 18”

“To actually practice between rounds instead of just talking about it”

Wishing all of you a Happy New Year that includes many rounds of golf with friends and some good shots!
