2012 Ladies Member Guest Results

The 2012 Ladies Member Guest was completed yesterday despite the threat of thunderstorms and a tornado watch.  Our ladies are not scared of a little rain or the occasional twister are they.

The overall theme for the event was an homage to Julia Child's 100th birthday celebration "For the love of Julia" so the ladies came decked out in their best aprons and their strings of peals and a few decorated their carts with miscellaneous cooking utensils.  It was quite the event!

Thanks to the hard work of all the volunteers this event was one to remember.  Our ladies really know how to put on a great event and this was no exception.  Karen Finegold and Tracy Lorenz orchestrated the event and recruited some great talent to help pull it off.  Great work you two and to all others who put in a lot of work to make this event shine!

Now we get to the results of the event.  We had two flight in the event.  The Les Champignons flight and the Les Poussins flight.  We had overall Champions from the entire field in the gross and net categories and then we had Gross and Net flight winners.  All the ladies fought hard today to finish through the rain and the wind and they all deserve a bit of congratulations for that for sure.  

In the Les Champignons Flight we had the team of Tricia Knight, Charlotte Leidy, Lisa Butcher & Kit Graves come out on top as the gross flight winners with an excellent score of 5 under par 67.  Great work ladies!  The Net flight winners comprised the team of Stephanie Stokes, Liz Bode, Maureen Buckley and Marty Maugh.  They came in with a beautiful score of Net 58.8.  Nice going girls!

In the Les Poussins Flight we had the team of Beverly Harper, Jan Cashion, Becky Deaton and Jan Stewart claim the Gross Flight winner prize with a 2 under par 70.  Afterwards Mrs. Harper was herd talking about reworking her whole golf game.  Sounds just like Tiger Woods when he was at the top of his game.  I guess she is just not satisfied with perfection.  Good going ladies!  The Net Flight winners were made up of some of our regular 9 hole ladies group.  I guess they are going to have to start competing with the 18 holers after this exceptional tournament performance.  They carded a nice 11 under par net 61 to win.  Congratulations to Cathy Roofe, Kay Bullard, Beverly Logan & Stefanie Cox!

Now on to the overall champions in the Net & Gross Divisions.

The Net Champion came out of the Les Poussins flight and lets just say these girls golfed their balls!  The team was comprised of two Mother-Daughter Duo's.  We had one of our tournament organizers Karen Finegold with her daughter Anne Richter along with Lorraine Chalas and Nicole Chalas.  This team edged out the nearest competitor by half a stroke with 57.2 to claim their prize.  Great work team!

The Gross Champion came out of the Les Champignons flight.  The team of Diane Tate, Cara Hardinger, Mickey Wirtz, and Anne Thompson carded a 6 under par 66 to claim the Over All Gross Champion prize.  Awesome job ladies!

We had some special event winners with two closest to the hole prizes and a hit inside the pearl necklace hole on the 12th.  The winner for the Members closest to the hole on #9 was Tracy Lorenz and the Winner for the closest to the hole for Guests on #2 was Nancy Keel.  No ladies made it inside the string of Pearls on the 12th hole but Kathy Fiske did hit it the closest so she took home the big prize for that hole.  

Thanks to all the ladies for making this event a real success.  It is your exceptional involvement and hard work that makes this event what it is.  Great work and congratulations to all the ladies who played in and helped out with the 2012 Ladies Member Guest.
