2013 Ladies Team Match Play Champions
Norma Hyland & Diane Tate

What a match the ladies had today.  It took 21 holes to decide this years Champion.  The defending Champions, Karen Finegold and Lois Lee were taking on the always tough duo of Norma Hyland and Diane Tate.  The Match started off with our 2012 champs taking the first hole with Lois Lee's net par then the teams tied the next two holes with pars.  Diane Tate won the difficult 4th hole with a net par to take the match back to all square.  Ties on the 5th, 6th and 7th holes the Karen Finegold came up big with a nice par for net birdie on the 8th to go up one in the match.  All the girls hit the green on the 9th hole and everyone made their par but Lois had the stroke so Team Finegold/Lee went up 2 at the turn.  On the 10th hole Diane Tate got the match back to only 1 down for their side with a quality par net birdie.  The eleventh was halved with bogey and twelve was won by Norma Hyland with a smooth par which brought the match quickly back

to all square.  The thirteenth was another halve.  Then it was Diane's turn on 14 to win one for team Hyland/Tate with a great par on a difficult hole.  This was there first lead of the day which they held on to until the 17th hole.  On 17 Lois Lee had a great bunker shot and two putted for the win to get the match back to even with only one hole left to play.  On the 18th Diane Tate hit the green in regulation and made a great two put from the front of the green all the way to the back.  It was all up to Lois Lee who had a put for 5 net 4 to take the match to extra holes.  I think we might start calling her the ice lady because she dropped it right into the bottom of the cup!  She must have ice water running through her veins because she is definitely cool as the other side of the pillow.  With a halve on the 1st and 2nd extra holes it was Diane Tate making par on the 3rd extra hole to win the match in 21 holes.  Congratulations to both teams for a great tournament and to our 2013 Ladies Team Match Play Club Champions Norma Hyland & Diane Tate.
