September 2009

 

 

Ladies,

 

As most of you know, Betty Crosby and her husband, Gene, retired and hit the road in their RV.  So, I agreed to take up the position as President for the remainder of 2009.  At the time this newsletter is going to print, she reassures me that they have not killed each other.  They are currently touring the upper east coast.  As a matter of fact, Betty got her first Hole in One!  It was at a 9 hole course in Pomona, New Jersey.  She went to play by herself (since Gene was laid up) but had a lady join her at hole 2 or 3, so she had a witness.  She promised to send a picture of the plaque with her name and the infamous ball.  The course would not let her keep it but added it to their wall of fame.  You go girl!

 

The last couple of months have been really tough on our group of ladies.  First, Tina Campise fell and broke her ankle while hiking in Arizona.  Then in July, our beloved secretary, Margi Bice, had surgery.  Now, one of our newest members, Debbie Stearns, is out for about 6 months due to back surgery.  We want to take a moment and wish a speedy recovery for each one of these ladies.  Let’s keep these ladies and all those dealing with family illnesses and situations in our thoughts and prayers.

 

Well...fall is just around the corner and the days are slowly getting shorter and cooler.  Our Tuesday tee times for September and October will be 5:00 pm with the Sunday, September 13, tee time at 8:30 am.

 

Our 2009 Club Championship is fast approaching, October 10 and 11, 2009 both tee times will be 8:30 am.  Margi has been publishing the current club standings so if you plan on playing please make sure you are qualified (four 18 holes equivalent).  We will be sending out more information in the next couple weeks in regards to how and when to sign up.  We will flight each person based on your handicap.

 

I guess the last thing to say is…Hit them long and straight. 

 

See everyone soon!
