Ellensburg Golf Course was the location for this month's Team event. Unfortunately, the weather was very bad and we suspended play (ultimately cancelling) after playing only three holes. Three holes in one hour was shaping up to be a 6 hour round!
It was impossible to keep us or the club grips dry... and when clubs started flying further than the ball, I decided it was time to call it a day. As Executive Secretary of the Apple Valley Women's Golf Association, it was my responsibility to make a decision. I did take a quick poll of the ladies within a 3 hole radius and it was almost unanimous. Out of the 48 ladies playing, only 4 wanted to continue playing.
I was disappointed with the need to cancel because this was my first chance this season to play as team partners with my friend, Kris Bates. I always enjoy playing at Ellensburg. It's only a 9-hole course (twice around) and it's not the best physical course we play, but the ladies are really nice and they always serve a really good lunch. In spite of cancelling play, we did stick around for lunch and enjoyed one of the best tomato bisques ever and a nice salad bar.
