WGA Results for April 24th 2013

Beautiful day today but scoring conditions for my ladies was a bit tough because of a little wind.  The Format  was Three Blind Mice where the girls throw out their three worst holes to come up with their score.  Many of the ladies after play were lobbying for more throw out holes.

Dot Kennihan found herself in the winners circle on the gross side with a very respectable gross score of 69.  Nice shooting Dot!  The first place winner in the Net side of things was Pat Blank.  She has been on a bit of a tear lately cashing checks every time she tee's it up.  She scored a super low 51 for her three blind mice.  She was followed in the second place position by Lynn Dunn at 55 and in third place, only one shot back, was Becky Deaton.  Congrats to all the winners of the three blind mice game.

We had four ladies in the 9 hole group with Karen Mamuzic taking first place in the Gross and Beverly Logan claiming first place prize money in the Net.  Well Done!

No chip in's today so make sure you show up next week for the big carry over pot!

Just one lone birdie today by Susie Points on the 15th hole.  Nice work Susie!

Thanks to everyone for playing and see you next week.

Best,

Dave

WGA Play Day Results for April 17th, 2013

Today we had the ever popular Mutt & Jeff format for the WGA Play day.  This format is where you throw out all those par 4's and just count the 5's & 3's.  We had nineteen 18 hole players and three 9 hole participants for today's action.  The ladies may have had such a large showing because they knew it was a carry over for the chip in jar.  You know how they like to win the big money!

In the Gross division or our game today we had a close race for 1st place with Sharon Fields coming out on top by going just two over par on her 3's & 5's!  Norma Hyland was the second place finisher helped out by her miraculous 4th shot on the 15th hole that found the bottom of the cup from 54 yards out!  That shot earned her a share of the Chip In pot that was worth $9.50!  Great work to both of our Gross winners!

The top dog (no offense) in the net portion of our Mutt & Jeff was a tie from two ladies who went deep today!  The both scored an impressive 6 under par 27!   Tricia Knight who is starting to find her form after a brief hiatus over the winter time.  Her round was capitalized by a back nine of 4 under par!  Great work Tricia!  Susie Points who just came off of back surgery during our winter season did not take long to find her way back to the winners circle.   She had 7 net birdies to capture her share of first place.  Great work ladies!
Maureen Buckley captured the 2nd place spot and Susan Courneya was in the 3rd place position rounding out the top paying positions.

The 9 hole ladies division was dominated by Carol "Flipper" Spears with a nice 25 for her back 9 mutt & jeff score.  She was three shots clear of her closest competitor.  Nice work Flipper!

The other chip in besides Norma Hyland was Cindy Tew.  Word around town is that her first attempt was not quite what she hoped for but her second found the bottom of the cup for a share of the chip in pot.  Congratulations to Norma and Cindy!  Don't spend all that dough in one place.

The birdie tree got a little more crowded today with 4 more birdies.  Dot Kennihan, Susan Courneya, Betty Lynch and Norma Hyland.  Well done ladies.

Thanks to all for playing today and we hope to see you next week!

Best,

Dave

WGA Play Day Results for Wednesday, April 10th 2013

Beautiful spring day for the ladies today but lots of the yellow pollen in the air.  Today's format was the always popular President's cup.  We had some star performers today starting with the Gross winner for the Day, Lorraine Chalas.  She scored a respectable 84 being most consistent on the par 4's with 5 par's.  Great work Lorraine.  The net category had Diane Tate with the lowest score of 69.  She was the par 3 champions with only one bogey and three pars.  Only one shot back we had a tie for 2nd with Betty Lynch and the always formidable Mrs. Patricia C. Blank.  Great work girls!

The 9 hole ladies had an interloper with Paula McEachen winning the gross division and Beverly Logan scooping up the net prize.  These ladies are no stranger to the winner circle.

No chip in's today so make sure to play next week for the big chip in pot carry over!

We had four ladies who added some birdie balls to their arsenal.  Monica Lipomi #3, Stephanie Stokes #5,  Karen Finegold #9 & Maureen Buckley #12.

Great work to all the ladies.  We appreciate you playing.  See you next week.

Best,

Dave

WGA Exchange Day Champions Pat Blank, Tricia Knight, Barb Lewis & Ro Kachel

In today's WGA Exchange Day event with Fairwoods #7 we had twenty four ladies divided into six different teams battling it out for the $24 jackpot!  The weather was very cooperative with a little light fog in the morning that burned off quickly and gave way to beautiful Carolina spring day.  The format for the day was one best net ball of the four player team.  We had a bit of a runaway victory with the team of Pat Blank, Tricia Knight, Ro Kachel & Barb Lewis shooting an unbelievably low score of net 53!  The anchor of the team was Pat Blank who shot a net 65 on her own ball.  She obviously had some help to get to the 19 under par score with her teammates contributing in many key areas for sure.  Congratulations to this team for their newly found wealth.  Thanks to all the ladies for coming out and enjoying the day!
