Golf At Lakeview G&CC

Score today: 87

Today Lakeview Golf & Country Club (in Soap Lake) hosted the June event for our Apple Valley Women's Golf Association. This is a fun, challenging and well maintained course. It was a beautiful, sunny, day after an unsettled week of weather.

Today's schedule called for my home club to play competition against the Wenatchee Golf & Country Club.

My playing partner from Three Lakes Public Golf Course today, was Ruth Toler (center). Ruth is a bus driver for our local Link Transit system, but tries hard to get these team golf days off. TheWenatchee G&CC players were Pat Terry (left) and Dellas Herring (right). Pat has had back, neck and foot problems over the years, but still manages to carry a 7 handicap at the very difficult Wenatchee Golf & Country Club. Dellas used to play with us at Three Lakes, but defected to the Country Club this year. When Dellas was at Three Lakes, she & I often played these team events as partners (not competitors). She used to love watching me use my lob wedge, but isn't so fond of it anymore. :-)

Considering I've only played golf once in the last month, I wasn't unhappy with my overall score today. I had some errant (hook) tee shots into the nasty rough. The good news is: I've gotten rid of my natural slice. For the most part, I played pretty decent... considering I have only played this course a couple of times.

My driving was the most inconsistent, but I had some boomers... "two bun-ers" as Dellas calls them. My putting was really quite good and the greens were fast! My iron game was o.k.

It was a very fun day. Next team event is in Leavenworth on July 14th. Not sure when my next play will be. Maybe next Thursday with the Three Lakes Ladies Club.
