Mesquite Ladies Golf Association
Ladies,
What a
group! We continue to have great
turnouts and fun times. There is nothing
like a group of women getting together to share something in common like golf
and making lasting friendships.
Friendships that I am going to really, really miss for a few
months!
Without
dreams where would we be? Gene and I
purchased an RV a while ago and our dream was to retire someday and see this
beautiful country from our home on wheels.
I had come to terms with the idea that it probably wasn’t going to
happen but Gene sold his company and retired as of June 2! Therefore, not
wanting him to get lonely in this new phase of life, I am retiring at the end
of June to join him. Our plans are kind
of sketchy at this point, but I think we’ll be heading to Branson, MO with
Polly and Ken Webb immediately after I complete my work notice. After that, we’ll follow our wonder lust to
whatever port it takes us. After all I
am the Goddess Traveling Lady Golfer! Of
course the number of places we go and the golf courses we play will depend on
all those early bird specials and senior discounts I’ve been hearing about all
these years! It’s time to find out if
they are for real.
MLGA will
need a replacement for the remainder of my term as President, which runs
through the 2010 season. If you have an
interest, please let me know. The main
thing I do is make sure our tee times are scheduled with Mesquite and write a
little blurb for the newsletter once a month.
I’m sure Margi and Gerry will be willing to help out with scheduling tee
times when needed, right gals? Please
think about this opportunity to volunteer your services. I know there is someone out there that has
the desire to become more involved with this fantastic group!
I am really
going to miss you ladies but I will return!
Who knows, we may find retirement and being together 24/7 more than we
can handle and return in 2 weeks!

TX/OK
Shootout Report
I hereby
declare our TX/OK Shootout a success! We
had 17 ladies playing at Winstar on Saturday and 14
played at Turtle Hill on Sunday. Thank you ladies for a great weekend! I would also like to thank Cherie Luckett for having the forethought to bring her portable
poker table with her. (Something makes
me think it probably stays in her trunk right next to her golf clubs.) We set it up in the conference room at the
hotel and being the great teacher she is, Cherie taught us to play Texas Hold ‘Em. What fun and we
didn’t loose a penny! How about it
ladies that went to the Casino, do you think you had more fun than we did? Bet you lost more money than we did…
Turtle Hill
was enjoyable and I was particularly happy with my score but THE BUGS, THE
BUGS! We certainly could have done without them but we had fun in spite of the
little nuisances. I didn’t go prepared
for mountain climbing but everybody knows how I hate to lose a ball! I was determined that ball resting down at
the bottom of that hill, almost to the highway, had to be reclaimed! Reclaiming it and getting it up to the green
went just fine. What I didn’t consider
was if one goes down the mountain (well, when you are looking straight up to
the green it certainly looks like a mountain), one must hike back up! After a brief rest on the edge of the green
and we decided I wasn’t actually having a heart attack, play continued.
We made the
traditional stop at the Center Restaurant and Tavern and enjoyed a wonderful
meal and some great desserts. Judy
Fries’ husband Bill, brave man that he is, joined the ladies for dinner after a
motorcycle ride up to Muenster.
Thank you all
for participating and I am already looking forward to next year!
Betty

When you set up to your ball, flare
your left toe out to make an easier hip turn.
