Ladies' Tee

Eyewitness to a Hole-In-One!

I’ve never seen a live ace before but on Tuesday, September 20th, Nancy Rickerson had a hole-in-one on No. 7 using her 9 iron. Alice Rohdy, Janet Arnold and I witnessed Nancy’s fabulous shot! Our arms flew up, we all cheered and hugged. The fellows playing on No. 3 - their arms flew up and cheered, and even the fellow behind the construction fence by No. 7 - his arms flew up and he cheered! So there was a big audience for Nancy! Congratulations, Nancy, on your First Hole-In-One!

Ace of the Month - Because our print deadline for the Divot falls before all the games have been played for the month, we are running one month behind. That said, Congratulations to August Ace of the Month Kathy McElhinney with a 74. Good job, Kathy!

September Wrap Up

Battle of the Sexes - 9/02 - This was a fun tournament - and a very, very close match. The Average Net Score of the Ladies was 41.3, while the Men squeaked by with a 40.9 - that was a teensy, weensy win of 0.4! So while the guys enjoyed their steak and lobster (some were known to pass tastes across the table), china and silverware and a printed menu, we ladies remained composed and enjoyed our delicious chicken pot pie served on paper plates, plastic silverware, newspaper for placemats and a hand-written menu on post-it notes! It was a Hoot!

Ladies Par 3 Meeting Day - 9/06 - Again, lots of fun, with the golf skills of a few really shining through! And the Winners were:
Gross -  1st -   Char Delaney with a 53
              2nd - Janet Christ with a 60.
Net -      1st -   Diane Culp - 46
              2nd -  Pat Coseo - 48             |  These 3 women had
              3rd -   Alice Rohdy - 48          |  a card-off to break
              4th -   Michele Homan - 48   | their tied scores.



President’s Cup Final - and - Consolation Stroke Play Event - 9/08 - We all waited around the 18th hole to cheer Kate and Deb as they came up the 18th fairway. Kate Grace was the winner of this year’s President’s Cup. Deb Gustafson was a tough competitor for Kate.
