The first major of the year for the ladies is in the books with a new champion at the helm. We finally had some great weather for a change. It has been a long and cool winter for sure. This year's format was unchanged from years past with the first day being a best ball competition and the final day being a captains choice. We had 9 teams competing for the crystal and an invite to the coveted Champions Dinner.
Day one had some stiff competition but none dominated the field like the team of Becky Deaton and Tricia Knight. They were on fire for day one with a stellar net 56 which was seven shots better than their closest competitors Maureen Buckley and Pat Blank. Word around the water cooler is that Becky Deaton had a great day on the links with a net 66 on her own ball. She must have had some help from current club Champion Tricia Knight though to reach that awe inspiring score of sixteen under par!
Day two saw some exceptional play coming from the team of Ann Filo and Betty Lynch as well as Diane Tate and Norma Hyland. They were the only two teams to score under par for the final day of play. It turned out not to be enough to overcome the substantial lead that team Deaton/Knight had on the field and they were crowned the 2014 Ladies Member/Member Champions with a winning score of 132.1 besting the second place team of Hyland/Tate by 3.1 shots. When you see Tricia Knight and Becky Deaton roaming the halls of National stop and say congratulations for a hard fought and well deserved victory in this years Member/Member Championship!
Special Event Winners:
We had four closest to the hole winners and a chip in pot for the two days of competition. The closest to the hole winners were Norma Hyland on hole #2 and #12, Stephanie Stokes on hole # 9 and Lisa Butcher on hole #17. The chip in pot was split between Wanda Little and Ann Filo.
