WGA Solheim Cup Day 9/18/13

What a beautiful day we had for golf. Our Solheim Cup matched up two teams of six 18 hole ladies and 2 nine hole ladies. The format for the nine hole ladies was one better ball of the two. The format for the 18 hole ladies was nine holes of one better ball of the two and nine holes of modified alternate shot.

For our nine hole match the team of Beverly Logan and Carol Spears faced off against Liz Hemming and Tina Maisano. The team of Hemming and Maisano jumped out of the gate winning hole ten. This match was a back and forth chase with both teams alternating winning holes. The match was eventually halved with Maisano and Hemming taking the l8th to half the match. Great playing Ladies!

In the match of the Captains Norma Hyland and Diane Tate took on the strong team of Dot Kennihan and Tricia Knight. Diane Tate had a great day on the links her team was three up at the turn and never looked back. Tricia Knight tried to bring her team back at the turn birding number nine to bring the match closer but the momentum soon faded. Hyland and Tate closed out the match on hole 14. This put Norma Hyland and her team up one point.

The second 18 hole match matched up Becky Deaton and Cathy Gough against Maureen Buckley and Monica Lipomi. Becky Deaton birdied the first hole but Buckley and Limponi fought right back with a win on hole two and they never lost the lead after they won the third hole. They closed the match out on the 12th hole. This tied the team aspect up at one apiece.

The anchor match teamed up Betty Lynch and Pia Orlandi against Cindy Boals and Lois Lee. The first blood in this match was drawn by Pia Orlandi on the second hole. The match was quickly back to all square after Lois Lee won the hole. The two teams alternated wins for a couple of holes and were all square at the turn. The teams were all square until the 15th when Orlandi and Lynch went ahead with a win. They quickly padded that lead winning the 16th as well. Not to be outdone the team of Boals and Lee fought won the 17th with a par. The match came down the the 18th with Boals and Lee winning the the pivotal hole and halving the match. This tied up the matches at 2 apiece.

Great playing to all the ladies and thanks for the support of the event. We hope to see you all next week.

All the Best,

Hunter
