What a beautiful day we had for our WGA closing day event. The November temps reaching the low 70's and beautiful blue skies. The format for the ladies final event was a 9 hole scramble mixing the 9 hole ladies with the 18 hole ladies. The ladies had a nice lunch that followed and some nice awards were given out. The results had the team of Diane Tate, Cindy Tew, Maggie Dougherty and Pia Orlandi. They had a score of 29.87. The second place team was Norma Hyland, Wanda Little, Betty Lynch and Beverly Harper. They were not far behind with a round of 30.27. There were two players splitting the chip in pot. Both players on the same team and on the same hole. They were Becky Deaton, who commented before dropping her 50 cents into the chip in jar, " I don't ever win this thing". Congrats to everyone for a job well done. After golf the ladies had a nice lunch in the Member's Lounge where the President of the WGA, Wanda Little gave out some important year end info and past the torch to the 2014 incoming president Cindy Boals. Cindy then started right in on giving out some of the year end awards for the WGA and a special thank you award for Dot Kennihan who has been tournament chair and handled the Tar Heel ladies for the last year. Great work Dot! Here is a list of the other winners from the year.
